Tutorial - FDM Slicing

To test your slicing skills, you will modify the print parameters for a small test part. You will print #3DBenchy, which is a part design with challenging features to benchmark the quality of a printer. 

Read the following about #3DBenchy: 

• Features Links to an external site.
• Dimensions Links to an external site.

Now that you know a little about the part, download it from Thingiverse Links to an external site. and slice it in Cura 4.0 (or newer).

Part 1 - Basic Slicing

• Download the #3DBenchy STL from Thingiverse
• Import the STL into Cura 4.0 (or newer)
• Use the following printer settings:
  • No support
  • 0.15 mm layer height
  • 20 % infill
  • Adhesion: Yes
  • 
• Export the file as a 3mf and upload it to Canvas. 

Part 2 - Advanced Slicing

• Use the "Custom" printer settings to modify the "Normal" preset profile with the following:
•  
  • 15 % Infill
  • 0.22 mm layer height
  • 0.22 mm initial layer height
  • Shell Wall Count: 2
  • Top & Bottom Thickness: 0.88 mm (4 layers)
  •  Speed
    • Infill Speed: 50 mm/s
    • Outer Wall: 45 mm/s
    • Inner Wall: 55 mm/s
  • Brim Width: 5 mm
• Export the file as a 3mf and upload it to Canvas. 

Deliverables

• .3mf file for the Basic Slicing
• .3mf file for the Advanced Slicing
