                      <h4>How to prepare the 3D printer</h4>

                      <p>We've learned to turn on the machine, to place the filament and to add the file with SD card (for the Creality printers) or directly with wifi (for the Ultimaker).</p>

                      <h4>Software</h4>

                      <p>As 3D print software we use Cura.</p>



                      <h4>Clearance test on the Ultimaker S5</h4>

                      <p>The first attempt without supports failed.</p>

                      <ul>
                        <li>Printing material : PETG</li>
                        <li>Filament temperature : 205°C</li>
                        <li>Plate temperature : 60°C</li>
                        <li>Print speed : 80mm/sec</li>
                        <li>Infill : 10%</li>
                        <li>Layer height : 0.4mm</li>
                        <li>Plate adhesion : skirt</li>
                      </ul>

                      <p>We added the supports.</p>

                      </span>

                      <p>The second attempt was a success but printing in PETG made the cleaning hard and the final result is kind of messy.</p>

                      <h4>Angle test on Ender-5 Plus</h4>

                      <p>We've pritned the angle test on one of our Ender-5 Plus and everything went well.</p>

                        <li>Print speed : 80mm/sec</li>

                      <h4>Bridging on Ender-5 Plus</h4>

                      <p>The bridging test printing went also well.</p>

                      <ul>
                        <li>Filament temperature : 205°C</li>

                        <li>Print speed : 80mm/sec</li>
                        <li>Infill : 10%</li>
                        <li>Layer height : 0.4mm</li>
                      </ul>

                      <span class="image object">

                      <h4>Dimensions on Ender CR-10</h4>

                      <p>The dimensions test went well too.</p>

                      <ul>
                        <li>Filament temperature : 205°C</li>

                        <li>Infill : 10%</li>
                        <li>Layer height : 0.4mm</li>
                      </ul>

                      <span class="image object">
                      <img src="../images/dimensions-test-printing.jpg" alt="..." />
                      </span>

                      <h4>Anisotropy</h4>

                      <span class="image object">
                      <img src="../images/anisotropy-all-tests.jpg" alt="..." />
                      </span>

                      <p>This piece was the smallest but the trickiest...</p>
                      
                      <p>First, we didn't get the base layer to stick on the heated board with a 50°C plate temperature so we pushed it to 60°C and added a raft.</p>

                      <span class="image object">
                      <img src="../images/anisotropy-raft-added.jpg" alt="..." />
                      </span>

                      <p>It sticked to the plate but was horrible...</p>

                      <span class="image object">
                      <img src="../images/anisotropy-test2-fail.jpg" alt="..." />
                      </span>

                      <p>As the print still wasn't right we lowed the speed from 70mm/sec to 50mm/sec.</p>

                      <span class="image object">
                      <img src="../images/anisotropy-test-big-fail.jpg" alt="..." />

                      </span>

                      <p>As the print was worse and even broke, we checked again the parameters and discovered that the problem came from the travel as the retraction was on, which shouldn't in this case.</p>

                      <p>And so we finally got our piece correctly ! Yay !</p>

                      <h3>Individual assignment</h3>

                      <h4>3D scan</h4>

                      <p>The 3D scan part was a real adventure !</p>

                      <p>Our computer being under repair, we had to get another one for this week.</p>

                      <p></p>

                      <span class="image object">
                      <img src="../images/...jpg" alt="..." />
                      </span>

                      <h4>Non substractive 3D design and print</h4>

                      <p>For the non substractive object, I designed a "cat toy" ball : a "voronoid type" sphere with a plain ball inside.</p>

                      <p>I designed it in Fusion 360 by following this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=158ZpD44dq4&list=PL7hQXLUOTdVFoBj-OxBdKNVP27IIn08cu&index=7&ab_channel=DesignedByAbhi" target="_blank">quick tutorial on Youtube</a></p>.

                      <span class="image object">
                      <img src="../images/fusion360-big-sphere-body.jpg" alt="..." />
                      </span>

                      <p>I first sketched and extrude 2 spheres.</p>

                      <span class="image object">
                      <img src="../images/non-substractive-3D-print-supports.jpg" alt="..." />
                      </span>

                      <p>Then I designed the "voronoid" aspect on the biggest one.</p>

                      <p>We printed it on the Ender-5 Plus and added a raft and some tree support.</p>


                      <span class="image object">
                      <img src="../images/non-substractive-3D-print-supports.jpg" alt="..." />
                      </span>

                      <p>The print is ok but not perfect and it was hard to take away the supports.</p>
