Score 28 : Autodesk and Kickstarter Test Print

Score 28 : Autodesk and Kickstarter Test Print

Autodesk and Kickstarter Test Print

Hello,

Dear Rose Go backers!

This week we printed a prototype of FDM on Kickstarter using ROSE GO, and it worked great, so let's take a look at our results.

The test geometry is a single, consolidated STL file that tests a printer’s dimensional accuracy, resolution, and alignment. We tested it on the ROSE GO prototype and printed with a layer height of 0.15 mm.

Dimensional Accuracy

To assess dimensional accuracy, measure each tier of the dimensional accuracy stack and record the absolute different between the target and the measured dimensions in a table.

  • Record a “1” if the magnitude of the overall average error is greater than 0.40mm.
  • Record a “2” if the magnitude of the overall average error is between 0.31 and 0.40mm.
  • Record a “3” if the magnitude of the overall average error is between 0.21 and 0.30mm.
  • Record a “4” if the magnitude of the overall average error is 0.11 and 0.20mm.
  • Record a “5” if the magnitude of the overall average error is between 0.0 and 0.10mm.

ROSE GO earned a score of 5 for this test.

Fine Flow Control

Using a pair of calipers, measure the height of the shortest spire on the top of the test print. Visually inspect for threads of material connecting the spires. Measure the shortest spire.

  • If the spires are less than 30mm long, assign a 0.
  • If the spires are greater than 30mm, but there is stringing between them, assign a 2.5.
  • If the spires are greater than 30mm long and there is no stringing between them, assign a 5.

ROSE GO earned a score of 4 for this test.

Fine Negative Features

Attempt to remove all the pins from their holes using fingers (no tools).

  • Record a “0” if no pins can be removed.
  • Record a “1” if 1 pin can be removed.
  • Record a “2” if 2 pins can be removed.
  • Record a “3” if 3 pins can be removed.
  • Record a “4” if 4 pins can be removed.
  • Record a “5” if all pins can be removed.

Five pins were removable from the test print. For this test, the ROSE GO earned a score of 5.

Overhangs

Inspect the overhang surfaces.

  • Record a “1” if the printer compiled the geometry but dropped loops and infill on the 15, 20, and 30 degree overhangs.
  • Record a “3” if only the 15 and 20 degree surfaces differ from the 45 degree overhang.
  • Record a “4” if only the 15 degree overhang differs from the 45 degree overhang.
  • Record a “5” if there the surface finish between all four overhang surfaces is equivalent.

ROSE GO earned a score of 4 for this test.

Bridging

Inspect for contact between bridges and the surface beneath each.

  • Record a “1” if more than 3 are in contact with the surfaces beneath them.
  • Record a “2” if 3 bridges contact the surfaces beneath them.
  • Record a “3” if 2 bridges contact the surfaces beneath them.
  • Record a “4” if 1 bridge contacts the surface beneath it.
  • Record a “5” if no bridges contact the surfaces beneath them.

For this test, there are 5 bridges contact the surfaces beneath them. So ROSE GO earned a score of 5.

XY Resonance

Visually inspect the X and Y ringing features, illuminating the test print from the side to highlight any ringing captured in the print.

If rippling in the X or Y axis can be observed at or past three hash marks, record a “0”, otherwise, record a “2.5”.

ROSE GO earned a score of 2.5 for this test.

Z-axis alignment

If a layer registration effect with a period equal to that of the leadscrew is visible on the pillar supporting the fine positive features test, record “0,” otherwise, record “2.5.”

For this test, ROSE GO earned a score of 2.5.

Scoring

Sum the results of each section of the test protocol. The highest possible score is 30, indicating a very well-calibrated system.

Here’s a breakdown of ROSE GO’s results:

  • Dimensional Accuracy: 5 of 5 points
  • Fine Flow Control: 4 of 5 points
  • Fine Negative Features: 5 of 5 points
  • Overhangs: 3 of 5 points
  • Bridging: 5 of 5 points
  • XY Resonance: 2.5 of 2.5 points
  • Z-Axis Alignment: 2.5 of 2.5 points

Overall, the ROSE GO prototype scored a total of 28 out of 30 points.

And then we made a comparative table.

That's all for our first test on Autodesk / Kickstarter Test Print. Hope you enjoy it and hopefully after you receive ROSE GO, you can try it out on your own. I'm sure you'll have a lot of faith in ROSE GO.
