Weekly Journal
This page showcases the work we do weekly, showcasing various things learnt from 3d Printing and rhino.
Week 01
Introduction
This week, we started off with the introduction of this course, what was expected, tests and projects.
Wix
We decided what website that we were going to use to document our progress for our weekly journals and group projects.
​
It is relatively simple to understand with many tools to help get us started.
Week 02
3D Printers
-
This week, we learnt about the various types of 3D printers that we will be interacting with throughout this module via a simple course that we had to go through.
2. We also downloaded its respective app to utilise the printer itself. flashprint for Flashforge, Bambu Slicer for Bambu Lab, Cura Ultimaker slicer for Ultimaker 5 and Prusa slicer for Prusa MK4.

Week 03
Overhangs + Supports
This week, we started doing some basic 3D printing ourselves, experimenting with different overhangs and how it affects the model. We used Ultimaker 3 for this.
Not only that, we also tested various support structures on it to figure ou the most efficient one.
Finally, knowing some rules we also knew how to orientate and flip around the items we want to print to make sure it will not have any errors when it is printing.
Week 04
Efficiency
Testing out the various infills, using the XYZ box again, we found the most efficient infills to use when printing.
