1. Post-Test Checks & Optimization

Print Quality Inspection

  • Dimensional Accuracy: Measure with calipers—error should be ≤0.5mm. Calibrate mechanical parameters or extrusion multiplier if needed.
  • Surface Quality: Fix stringing, bubbles, or gaps by adjusting retraction, temperature, or clay moisture.

Equipment Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Remove dry clay residue from the nozzle, hopper, and bed immediately to avoid pipe blockages.
  • Lubrication: Apply grease to X/Y axis rails; clean and lubricate Z-axis ball screws with high-temperature grease.

Parameter Logging

  • Save test parameters (e.g., layer height 0.4mm, speed 30mm/s, extrusion multiplier 108%) and print samples as a reference for future production.
