Abstract

3D printer is one of the fastest growing technologies which can be related to the rapid prototyping concept that may produce any kind of shape from CAD model with high accuracy to the final product. The objectives of this thesis are to study the Kossel Mini 3D printer model‟s operation process, to investigate the adhesive material for 3D printer and to optimize parameters that minimize the corner lift height. In order to achieve these goals, investigations on several types of adhesive materials has been performed to support the finding of the optimum Kossel 3D printing setting. The optimization processes involved the Design of Experiment technique where Response Surface Method is applied. The result shows that UHU glue is very effective and cheap to be use on the printer bed. Furthermore, the optimum parameters for printing quality is obtained at 192°C of layer temperature, 13% of infill density and 0.33mm of layer height. Some recommendations were also proposed for the future research purposed.
