DESIGN AND EXECUTION OF A 3D PRINTER USING A PLA FILAMENT AS A NEW APPLICATION OF ARDUINO

D printing by using PLA filament used to quickly transform an idea into a physical object with clean process and highly automated. A complete model can create in a single process using 3D printing. The basic principles include flexibility of output, and translation of code into a visible pattern. 3D printing by using PLA filament can print most components depending on FFF technique. 3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing technology where a three dimensional object is created by laying down successive layers of material. The key to this 3D printer is the thermoplastic extruder which is coupled with a Cartesian XYZ platform. 3D printing by using PLA filament electronics are based around the popular Arduino development platform, utilizing a custom made board for interfacing with the Arduino development Board and allowing stepper motor and extrusion temperature monitoring and control.
