“Print with Peace of Mind” -The Spaghetti Detective
Not all 3D models are created equal. You can find that complex prints that you were printing, (some that took hours, even days to complete) could fail because of one manufacturing mistake. Now that fail has becomes wasted materials, wasted time, and potentially damaging equipment. Ultimately it becomes frustrating and sometimes even expensive remaking that print.
Trial and Error
Utilizing The Spaghetti Detective for our prints in the office
Our team was getting excited as we were ready to begin test printing and bringing the scan to life. Although, one simple error can ruin an entire print. This is something common within the 3D printing community. Thanks to The Spaghetti Detective when we ran prints we get informed remotely when those prints were failing. It was easy, to get the notification on my phone, and see the progress of my print while I am out.
Failed print stopped thanks to The Spaghetti Detective
During the early stages of printing our first test. We printed the original scan to see what details we captured from the scanning process. It was easy to check on my phone to see how the print was going, and man we were so excited to see the details were coming through. We did notice that some imperfections had popped up but we knew that we could go in and fix those for the final print. Although, in the middle of the night I got a notification saying that they saw spaghetti forming on my print. I was able to stop my printer thanks to that notification and didn’t have to come into a spaghetti monster of a mess.
Cookie Press Comes to Life
We finally were getting towards the end of our goal. We were able to get a print of the cookie mold that we were happy with. We added the necessary supports needed to get the best quality print and we were ultimately happy with what we got.
Testing our final Print
Testing our print with Play-Doh
Once we had removed all of the support from the print we were ready to start testing it out. An excellent idea we had came up with was to use play-doh to see if the mold would make the same impression as the original. We were so happy that the play-doh cookie looked close to the original cookie given to us. The next step was to test this print on some actual dough and see how the cookies would turn out.
3D printed cookies
Once we tested the 3D printed mold we were able to do a comparison. From the mold, to the play-doh cookie, to the cookie. It is incredible to see the process we did in order to create such a historic relic. We were beyond thrilled that we didn’t run into many issues thanks to The Spaghetti Detective watching over our prints, while we were able to continue our everyday office life.
The Final Result
Now everyone can enjoy these delicious cookies :)
