Group Assignment Instructions

  1. Test the design rules for a 3D printer: bridging, overhang, infill density, clearance, etc
  2. 4 members to a group, each person to design model to test one feature of the 3D printer
  3. Document your contribution and link to the pages of your other group members

Infill Density

What is infill density...
Infill density is the amount of filament printed inside the object, and this directly relates to the strength, weight and printing duration of your print.

There are different types of infill percentages as well as patterns that can be used and modified most usually in the slicer software. (I use Ultimaker Cura for Ultimaker2+ printer)
The recommended settings for Ultimaker 2+ is 15%-20% (infill density)

There are 13 options for infill pattern available in the Cura software which include Grid, Lines, Triangles and more.

To test infill density, I made a box using Fusion360 and ran it through Cura at 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%. I then went to preview and removed the top few layers to look at the cross section of the box. Due to time constrains and limited lab uses, I was not able to print out the model.

The patter I used is Grid
