Optimal Printing Conditions of PLA Printing Material for 3D Printer

The purpose of this study optimizes the conditions of PLA printing material for 3D printer. Deltabot type 3D printer is used. The ranges of printing temperature, printing speed, and infill density are 195∼215℃, 10∼70mm/sec, and 10∼100% respectively. From the results of printing temperature, printing quality is almost same every printing temperature. From the results of printing speed and infill density, printing quality is excellent under 40mm/sec, and over 50% respectively. Surface roughness is 2.28 μmRa at 205℃, 10mm/sec, 100%, and is 5.93 μmRa at 205℃, 70mm/sec. Surface roughness is directly proportional to the printing speed, and is inversely proportional to the infill density. Objects fabricated PLA printing material adhere bed at room temperature.
