Voron Design SKR Mini E3 Setup Guide V0.0 Power Supply Wiring Safety Note When wiring up your printer electronics, you will be working with high voltage wiring. Always double check to make sure that the printer is unplugged and any capacitors in your power supplies have discharged before touching any wire or terminal that may be live. Damage Risk Never plug or unplug any device (high or low voltage) while the the printer is powered. In addition to being a safety hazard, you will likely damage electronic components. Of particular note are stepper drivers which can easily be damaged by connecting or disconnecting stepper motors or drivers while powered. SKR E3 Board Configuration Jumper Configuration • Make sure power jumper is between INT and +5V (should be default from factory). If this is not installed correctly you may have power issues with your Raspberry Pi which can cause throttling Wire Terminals SKR E3 boards use JST-XH terminals. This will mean that you will need to purchase a JST-XH connector kit with 2 pin, 3 pin, and 4 pin connectors. JST-XH terminals are keyed and will only fit in one orientation so pay close attention while crimping to make sure you do not make a mistake. You can carefully de-pin connectors with a dental pick, toothpick, or similar. For wiring the stepper motors, keep the same wire color sequence that your stepper motors came with and make sure you use the same sequence for all of your stepper motors. If you have the spec motors from StepperOnline, the wires should in the the color order shown in the SKR E3 wiring diagrams on the following pages. -

AM is an advanced manufacturing technology used dental restorations, medical implants, automotive products, for fabricating parts in layers, from a CAD file. Various methods construction and prototyping [3]. With the reduced cost and and materials have been developed to cater to its expanding size of 3D printers in the recent-past, the category of personal applications. AM has seen tremendous growth in the recent past. While growth in the technical aspect is essential for the or desktop 3D printers was introduced. Personal or low-cost development of new techniques, growth in the economic aspect desktop 3D printers are those AM machines which have a unit provides the need of innovation. With its ever-increasing cost of less than $5,000 [4]. Personal 3D printers are chiefly industrial and personal applications, the 3D printing technology based on FDM, as complex geometrical parts can be produced has experienced advancements in both the aspects. Yet its full safely in an office-friendly environment using thermoplastics potential has not been harnessed in developing countries. In this [5]. Hence, the range of its applications were expanded to work, it is proposed to optimize the existing desktop 3D printers for developing countries. A market survey was conducted to homes, schools, offices, libraries and laboratories. recognise the lagging areas and the design modifications were When compared to industrial 3D printers, the market made accordingly to produce a compact, efficient and segment of personal 3D printers is recent, yet, it has achieved cost-effective personal 3D printer for the respective needs and an average annual growth rate of about 170% from 2008 to applications in developing countries. -
The Pennsylvania State University Schreyer Honors College
THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 3D Printing of Barium Titanate Using the Direct Ink Writing (DIW) Technique KARIM BARSOM SPRING 2021 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Mechanical Engineering with honors in Mechanical Engineering Reviewed and approved* by the following: Zoubeida Ounaies Professor of Mechanical Engineering Thesis Co-supervisor Amrita Basak Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Thesis Co-supervisor Bo Cheng Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Honors Adviser * Electronic approvals are on file i ABSTRACT Barium titanate (BaTiO3) is a smart ceramic known for its piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, of BaTiO3 has crucial applications across the medical, robotics, and electronics industries. 3D printing allows engineers to consider innovative designs with increasingly complex geometries which can lead to innovations that are unimaginable today. The development of a process that produces ceramic parts with 3D printing can also enhance the reliability and reduce the cost of manufacturing small-scale electronic components. The Direct Ink Writing (DIW) process was selected for its relatively low cost of entry, ease of use, and for its use of ceramic pastes and slurries similar to those used traditionally in tape casting and slip casting ceramic manufacturing methods. To execute the DIW process, I am using a modified off-the-shelf consumer 3D printer. Understanding how the controllable parameters of the DIW process and hardware can affect the quality, precision, speed, and capabilities when printing a BaTiO3 based slurry is the first step towards optimizing the DIW process for prototyping and mass commercial applications. -

Despite that, the use of bio-based composites for improved mechanical properties and biodegradation is still not fully explored. This limits the universal expansion of AM-fabricated products due to the incompatibility of the products made from petroleum-derived resources. The development of naturally-derived polymers for AM materials is promising with the increasing number of studies in recent years owing to their biodegradation and biocompatibility. Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer that possesses many favorable properties to be incorporated into AM materials, which have been continuously focused on in recent years. This critical review discusses the development of AM technologies and materials, cellulose-based polymers, cellulose-based three-dimensional (3D) printing filaments, liquid deposition modeling of cellulose, and four-dimensional (4D) printing of cellulose-based materials. -

To my tutor, who supported me and this project even without almost knowing me and the topic of this project. To the IEEE Student Branch UPM-Campus Sur, especially to two of the members who ‘cheated’ me to become one of them. It has been a great time that let me grow as a person and as a future engineer but, what is even more than important, gave me lots of experiences and friends. To Gina Häußge, my ‘second tutor’, who help me achieving better results and integrating my proposals to the ‘official’ OctoPrint repository. This gratitude also includes the community members who helped me to refine the features developed. Lastly, to RepRap, Clone Wars, Gina, Juan González Gómez (obijuan) and all community members who demonstrated that open source does not have to mean ‘impossible to make benefit of it’, ‘not maintained’ or other bad concepts associated with the concept. Thanks to all your work it was possible to me to do something I love, like 3D printing or software development.
