What 3D-printer model/type do I need to 3D-print the ASCAND Maker Edition components?

  • by

We strongly recommend printing the ASCAND 3D scanner components with PLA filament as it is eco-friendly, cost effective, and very easy to handle. Other materials are not supported for various design reasons.

The ASCAND 3D scanner is designed to be printable on build plates large enough to print 203 mm (xy) objects with a minimum height of 50mm (z). Most 3D-desktop printers are fulfilling this requirement.

You might need to deactivate the “brim” or “skirt” (or set it to 0) in your Slicers Printer Settings, if the ASCAND component (usually the turn table sleeve) you are trying to print is getting too close to the border of your build plate.
