SKILL LEVEL

I put my Dremel 3D45 to the test and built a 3D printed dress-top out of 3D printed particles, using Dremel translucent PLA (DF70-01) filament. I made it light up using NeoPixels. Now you can do the same! Follow my tutorial.

Let's Get Started

To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.

STEP 1

Prepare your 3D45

First, you need to make sure that you did a little test print to ensure you installed your printer correctly. How to get started? Check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGBSVOaFj5Y&feature=youtu.be

STEP 2

Glue Application Instruction

It is important to ensure that the 3D45 build platform is covered with Dremel specified glue before each build. A properly maintained glue layer helps parts adhere to the build plate during prints and prevents warping and curling, especially in large prints. You should apply a layer of glue every 1-3 prints. When you apply glue, make sure you apply it to the whole area of the bed where the part will print. Make sure that the build plate is cool before removing it or applying glue. Each time you apply glue, make sure to apply two overlapping layers. You can apply the glue to the perimeter of the print area first (1), and then zigzag up and down while overlapping over the entire area (2). Wait for 10 seconds and then apply another layer zigzagging left to right (3). This ensures a uniform layer over the entire build area. Allow the glue to dry before leveling or starting a print. Preheating the build plate can help speed up this process.
