Fall Validation Experiment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Demonstrate the ability of a slicer program to allow selection of insertion layers and for the 4DOF printer to \u2018pause\u2019 at the selected layers.<\/li>\n
  2. To evaluate the ability of the printer to correctly execute 4DOF G-code commands.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n
    1. Laptop computer with following software:\n
        \n
      1. Slic3r<\/li>\n
      2. MATLAB scripts for insertion layer selection<\/li>\n
      3. Pronterface<\/li>\n
      4. .stl <\/em>or .gcode<\/em> files for patterns to be printed<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      5. ADD_IN printer configured with following:\n
          \n
        1. PLA filament roll<\/li>\n
        2. Unmodified nozzle<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
        3. Modified printer nozzle<\/li>\n
        4. Lab bench tools plus any additional tools needed to change nozzle<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \n
          1. Using the appropriate MATLAB scripts:\n
              \n
            1. Load the .stl<\/em> file<\/li>\n
            2. Select an insertion layer approximately halfway up the part<\/li>\n
            3. Generate the .gcode<\/em> file<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
            4. Power on, configure, and home printer as necessary<\/li>\n
            5. Load .gcode<\/em> file in pronterface and print<\/li>\n
            6. When the printer pauses and enters the insertion configuration wait for five minutes, and then press the resume button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Part 2: Hardware Verification<\/em><\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Configure the printer with the modified nozzle<\/li>\n
              2. Instruct the printer to print the test pattern<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  \n
                1. The MATLAB script should not produce any errors<\/li>\n
                2. The part should be printed at a quality consistent with previous prints without using custom software<\/li>\n
                3. At the correct Z height, the printer should pause, enter the insertion configuration, and resume printing after the user presses the resume button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    \n
                  1. The printer should accurately reproduce the test pattern<\/li>\n
                  2. The extruded filament should be free of gaps or globules<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
