Abstract

This project entitled Development of Casing and Ventilation System in 3D Printer,Prusa i3 by using Integrated Approach is focus on the Rapid Prototyping (RP) technologies with Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) specifically for Prusa i3.The main purpose of this project is to reduce the temperature around the printed part.The higher temperature may causes warping especially at the end of the printed part.By installed the temperature sensor at the casing,it may detected the excessive temperature of the print bed.Thus,give the sign to the exhaust fan to switch on.In addition,the toxic fumes produced by filament such as PLA and ABS during filament extrusion can cause serious health issue if untreated.In order to solve this problem,the ventilation system which is combination of exhaust fan and carbon filter is used to absorb and remove contaminants and impurities in the air.The casing is very useful to avoid unpleasant odour from contaminate the environment.For the casing development,there are several steps that should be taken in order to design a well casing.The Pugh’s method is used to determine the design concepts that suit the needs of the user.All the detailed design of the design concept selected need to develop using Solidworks.Then, the fabrication process was initiated to produce casing and ventilation systems.After testing,the observation has been done and found that the printed part result is better after using this casing.So that,it can be concluded that the development of this casing can improve the printed product.
