3DFashion - Deformations

Deformations of 3D Print on Fabric

Sometimes, deformations appear on the top surface of the 3D print. They appear as sunken-in areas or breaks in the 3D print.

Possible Causes and Solutions

Absorption of the Printing Materials into the Fabric

The printing material might be absorbed into the fabric in such a way that it causes deformities.

Solution 1: Print an adhesion layer that is thick enough to compensate for the absorption.

Solution 2: Change the design to compensate for the absorption of the material into the fabric.

Tray Height is Not Calibrated to Match the 3D Print

The accuracy of the tray height calibration (Z-Start) can cause quality issues such as deformities and breaks in the 3D print. This indicates that the Z-Start needs to be recalibrated to correct the tray height.

Quality test

Solution 1: Recalibrate the tray height (Z-Start).

Solution 2: Increase the adhesion layer thickness.
