The popularity of 3D printing continues to rise, as if it blooms overnight. It is frequently seen in media that the 3D printer has entered the public view. With the advancement of technology, prices are increasingly affordable for the general public.

Leisure weekend, nothing to do? Try to buy a 3D printer and enjoy it in DIY.

Objectives: DIY a relief shade

Something to prepare for:

Tongchuang three-dimensional 3D printer (of course, the money willful, more than a few to prepare, can increase the efficiency of printing);

Light-transmitting printing consumables, at least one roll, the color can be determined according to preferences, generally buy 3D printers, manufacturers will have gifts;

One computer (I believe everyone has)

A photo of the United States and the United States

Lighting bulb set

DIY steps

1. Use 3D modeling software to design the frame of the relief lamp. As an indispensable prerequisite for 3D printing, 3D modeling is the cornerstone of everything. Without 3D drawings, 3D printers can be tricky and difficult. Rice is not. Did you let me cook? Who is the pit?

Modeling has always been an important factor constraining the development of the 3D printing industry.

If you do not learn 3DS max, Pro/E, UG, you can try 123D, or not, there are special zero-based beginners software. Shenzhen Tongchuang 3D Technology Co., Ltd. has sales of such products, as well as specialized training courses, and interested parties can learn more about them.

2. Slice the designed embossed lamp frame. This step requires the use of slicing software. When a general 3D printer is purchased, the manufacturer will provide a complimentary gift and free use of training services.

3, in the slice software, open the pre-prepared photos, also need to set the slice. Photographs used to print relief shades do not require 3D modeling. The slicing software automatically converts common image format files (such as JPG, PNG, etc.) into recognizable 3D models.

4. Put the cut piece of embossed light frame and photo file (generally Gcode format) into the 3D printer for printing.

The waiting time is long...

You can make a cup of tea first, read a book, play with your mobile phone, and sleep.

5, after the print is complete, take down the model, the highlight is here! Printed models can only be called parts, but also need our skilled hands to assemble them.

6. The assembly is completed and the power is turned on. The highlight of the personality of the relief lamp is done, is not it a sense of accomplishment?

Is it too expensive for a 3D printer? DIY is too time-consuming? It does not matter, 3D printing service to help you get everything.

All you need to do is to provide a 3D model of your design. Of course, choosing a 3D printing service and enjoying it quickly and easily means giving up on DIY fun, depending on your actual situation.

The aforementioned Tongchuang 3D company also provides 3D printing services. The price is relatively cheap, and you want to save time and effort to highlight the difference, you may wish to try.
