3D Printing Meetup
Details
In the spirit of ultimate transparency, I want to make something crystal clear. The Des Moines 3D Printing Meetup is here to enable the light of innovation to shine through unobstructed.
Ok, enough of that. Let's talk about how to achieve the most transparent 3D prints we can get! This was a suggestion from attendees of our "printing with flexibles" meetup, and it sounds like a fun discussion. As you may know, FDM/FFF 3D printing involves laying down round lines of melted filament and then stacking those lines on top of each other to build up a model. This typically results in air gaps between each line. Even the most transparent materials aren't generally "clear" once they are printed. So how can we make this better? What can we do to get truly clear parts? What are the trade-offs? Have you tried it before? Do you have any tips or tricks to share?
Come on out, bring any examples (successful or failed), and let's figure it out together!
