Test 2

Test 2
extruded from bitmap image
line weight 0.75, 1, 2 ,2.5pt
Opacity to height tests 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% - line weight:2pt
extrusion height 3mm (0.1mm z offset to remove base)
Filaflex 82a Original Print and filament settings

Following the initial test with an extruded image, a benchmarking test was done to determine line weight/thickness of the image file and the correlation between the build height and line thickness of the printed object, with thinner lines being less stable when building up height.
The initial extruded file from a .png file had shown a lot of discrepencies due to the aliasing of the image in jpeg format. to counteract this the new file was created as a .bmp to remove anti aliasing.

For this test, the manufacturers print and filament settings were used. The initial print presented a large amount of stringing in the filament and was aborted due to the paper deforming, causing the nozzle to make contact with the paper and blurring the print.
