How to FDM Print for Part Sliding Clearance

GrabCAD Tutorials
in Assemblies
13 4 Intermediate
If you are 3D printing parts that have to fit/slide together after printing, you will need to put some sort of clearance between those parts in your CAD system. A good starting place is a clearance 2x the layer height you are going to print at, but you should make a few smaller test prints at different clearances to see if the 2x layer height rule holds for your particular situation and orientation. Have fun and happy printing!

Sometimes you will not have Solidworks or a similar program installed on your computer. And you may have to make a model immediately. In such situations, Onshape is great. The link to the modeling file from the sample technical drawing is given below. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/51b10db64d8c10d69e04f4da/w/b4cd4b090cea13100d679675/e/741f8ec43a660ff55252cd29

Matte or Glossy? Which Finish to Use for Your 3D Prints and When.

Alexa Nahum

Matte or Glossy? That is the question. PolyJet users often ask themselves whether they should print a part with a matte finish or a glossy finish. And not without reason. The type of finish can totally alter the look, feel, color, and even strength and durability of two otherwise identical parts. Each option has its own benefits and implications that need to be considered. In this tutorial we will give an overview of matte and glossy, compare the pros and cons of each, and offer examples that clearly show what each finish type has to contribute. Finally, we will wrap up with a quick breakdown of when to use what.

I wanted to get to know Onshape better and had a look at the split, transform and pattern command. I repeated this in SolidWorks and it is the same workflow.
