About Project
Post-processing can totally change the appearance of a print. For ABS prints, smoothing is a popular post-processing technique. Acetone has the ability to melt ABS and therefore smooth away the layer lines visible on a part’s surface.
Here is a coffee maker prototype made with FDM 3D printing technology.
Solution
- Step 1: As the client just wants to make a mock-up sample that need not many details and he has a short budget, we recommend using FDM 3D printing technology.
- Step 2: Arrange the placement of the pot and the machine models in the slicer. Split the wire and the plug as they have a different color.
- Step 3: 3D print the pot and machine with white ABS filament, and print the wire and the plug using black ABS filament.
- Step 4: When printing finished, cut off the supports, put the green parts into a glass container that has enough acetone. Close the container lid for 10-20 minutes so that the vapor can melt the outer layer of the parts. Then wash them and let them dry.
