Hiroki Noguchi, Ph.D. Let’s start to use 3D-Printer for Beginners - Choosing, Designing, and Printing - 

Introduce myself • 2015, Yokohama City University, Ph.D. • ’15 Indiana State Univ. (US), Post-doc Res. • ’16 KU LEUVEN (Belgium), Post-doc Res. • ‘19 Pharm. Company., Pharm. Technology (JP) 

From short talk @LADEC2020 Let’s start bottom-up laboratory automation with 3D-printer! 

Peoples to create something with a 3D printer, and want to enhance their research, work and life. Target persons of this presentation J

• Filaments - PLA (Standard, hard) - ABS (Standard, normal) - PETG (Standard, Chem. Resist.) - TPU (Soft) - PC (Engineering plastic) etc… • Selecting filaments depends on hot-end temperature and base-plate temperature. .gcode .STL Rough design Idea SD-Card Filament change Reference: SD-CARD illustrate (Nikita Golubev, https://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/sd-card_287465), other illustrates (Freepik,https://www.flaticon.com/) 

• MOST IMPORTANT POINT To Successful Printing !! • Accurate Adjust (+- 0.1mm) is needed. • Not need re-adjustment several months after one-time accurate adjustment. .gcode .STL Rough design Idea SD-Card Clearance adjustment Reference: SD-CARD illustrate (Nikita Golubev, https://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/sd-card_287465), other illustrates (Freepik,https://www.flaticon.com/) 

• Insert SD-CARD and Push Start. • If initial layer is not on base, it is caused by distance between hot-end and base. • You will be able to get perfect object if initial layer is success. .gcode .STL Rough design Idea SD-Card Print Reference: SD-CARD illustrate (Nikita Golubev, https://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/sd-card_287465), other illustrates (Freepik,https://www.flaticon.com/)

• Easy pick-up printed objects after cooled base. • Remove support materials. • High performance FDM 3D- printers have two extruder, one is normal, one is for use water-soluble material.
