Parts Libraries: Many FRC components have already been created, all you need to do is download and unzip the folders, simplyfing the design process. The design from the plate, put the design plate (with the design) into a bucket of warm What is being printed, and the printer will print a maximum of 3" by 3" by 3". The amount of time the printer takes to print depends on the size of Then, you can watch the printer print your design layer by

A thumb drive is used to transfer the CAD design into the Printer is ready to print, the printer will lay out a plastic mesh on the plate that will serveĪs a base for the design. After the plastic filament cartridge is loaded, the plate is on, and Warming and put a thin layer of glue on the glass design plate to hold the design down Head and the glass plate to the right distance for best printing. The first step in using the printer is to set the alignment between the glass design plateĪnd the printer head with a piece of paper, which sets the clearance between the print In the future, Team Combustion will makeĬontinue to prototype robot parts and make key chains of the Combustion logo. The parts made by the 3d printer helped Team Combustion continue building the robotīefore the versa hubs and pulleys arrived. Make prototype versa hubs and pulleys to be used with the hexagonal axles of the robot. Needed to build the robot could not be delivered so Team 1912 used the 3d printer to

When Team 1912 received the printer, parts Team 1912 Combustion recently earned a Cube 3d Printer through First Choice, theįIRST Robotics parts supply organization. Self driven experimentation within the program, like building everyday objects from a computer mouse Our team uses Autodesk Inventor, which can be downloaded for free by any participent of FRC atĪutodesk is often self taught through a combination of tutorial videos, of which there are plenty, and Software lets for a more efficent and fluid work to be done because everyone involved can stay updated. To build every part virtually ahead of time, CAD can be used to find and correct design flaws. CAD (Computer Aided Design) Resources HomepageĬAD (Computer-Aided-Design) is one of the greatest assets a robotics teams can have.
