fe e l to ge t it right not
he lpful I k now. Se condly I
use diffe re nt se tting for
diffe re nt scale s of work and
diffe re nt clays and diffe re nt
shape s. Sm all work will be
e x trude d with a 1m m nozzle
while large r work s will use a
2 m m nozzle . Sm all work is
slice d at .5 to .6 m m pe r
laye r while I scale up to .9,
1m m for large r prints. Most
work is printe d with a single
wall but form s that flare out
such as bowls it can be
use ful to print a double wall.
C opying the Unfoldte chnique
I originally use d syringe s to
hold the clay, as big as I
could find and would glue
two toge the r to ge t a be tte r
volum e of m ate rial. The n I
found the Te chcon Syste m s
TS Se rie s dispe nsing gun
and so m ak e use of the
cartridge s, re taine r body and
cap but not the gun grip. I
attach a standard inch ball
vale on/off switch onto the
cap whe re the air pre ssure
hose com e s in to m anually
switch the pre ssure on at the
start of a print and off at the
e nd. During the print the
flow of m ate rial is continue s.
A te chnical point that could
be im prove d for shape s
whe re you want the build
m ate rial to stop and the n
be gin again at anothe r point
as the print he ad k e e ps
m oving.
