Introduction:

When we first began working on the details of the project, we used last year’s work as a template. Using the information they found, we were able to find the majority of the information that we needed to begin our design. One piece of information we based off last semester’s work was the estimated 3D print time. The requirement from the customer is to have a maximum print time of 6 hours. The table that includes the calculations that last semester did is shown below.

Estimated Print Time:

Estimated preliminary print time is 4 hours and 44 minutes.

Final Print Time:

Final print time is 18 hours and 30 minutes.
