Tiivistelmä
This thesis aims to present the FLSUN QQ-S pro delta 3D printer, its capabilities and limits. To achieve that a used model is obtained repaired and modified. The goal is to improve the printer and prepare it for the application in the laboratory of the university.
For readers unfamiliar with the definition of additive manufacturing, the thesis starts with a theoretical part, explaining the necessary basics. 3D printing, FDM printing and the affiliated machines are summed up as well.
Firstly, the configuration of the FLSUN QQ-S pro printer was examined and documented. Its components and basic capabilities were explained.
Secondly, the 3D printer was repaired to restore its basic functionality and get the already applied modifications to work properly. At this stage the printer is tested to have a comparison base.
Thirdly, possible modifications for the printer were explored and their potential to improve the printer evaluated. Some of the introduced modifications were then applied to the printer.
Finally, the new configuration of the printer was tested and the results compared to the capabilities of the old setup. The improvements were described and an outlook about potential further modifications given.
