Kerala's First 3D Printed Building

Created as a showcase project, AMAZE-28, the single-room summer house, was successfully constructed within 28 days on the grounds of the Kerala State Nirmithi Kendra.

(Photo: Shekunj)  The inauguration of Kerala's inaugural 3D-printed structure, a 380-square-foot single-room summer house, is scheduled to take place on October 10 at the Kerala State Nirmithi Kendra (Kesnik) campus located in PTP Nagar, Thiruvananthapuram.  Conceived as a showcase initiative, the summer house named AMAZE-28 was successfully finished within a mere 28 days. This impressive project was executed by Tvasta, a construction technology startup based in Chennai, founded by alumni of IIT-Madras, who have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Kesnik.  AMAZE-28 is perched upon a concrete foundation atop a gentle elevation within the Kesnik campus.

Solution of Filament Deflecting Upward on Extrusion

 If you are using fused deposition modeling (FDM) or fused filament fabrications (FFF) based 3D printers, then at some point in time, you must have faced or will face that the material being extruded upward direction or filament deflecting upward on extrusion. In this article, we will discuss the reasons and solutions for the material being extruded upward problem.

Reason and Solutions for Filament Deflecting or Curling Upward

Reason: Partial Blockage in Nozzle

You may have a partial blockage if your filament curls up as it exits the nozzle. For instance, if there is a small amount of dirt on one side of the nozzle, the filament can still extrude, but it will curl.

Solution

Debris on the INSIDE of the nozzle, as opposed to bits on the OUTSIDE, is what causes the filament to deflect. You can clean the exterior as well as you like, but it won't really change much. However, deflection is brought on by a break in the flow. Yes, stuff on the exterior does enable additional bits to stick, thus accumulation occurs. All of that is inside.

There are various options. You could try to clean the nozzle out with the needle. I personally wouldn't advise doing it. The softer brass can be scratched by the steel needle, which is NOT what you want. In any case, it typically pushes fragments further inside and dislodges them. While they may occasionally flow out as you extrude, they are equally likely to become lodged once more.

A "cold pull" is a more effective remedy and common "fix." The situation is simpler than it appears to be. Once you've had some practice, it becomes pretty simple and doesn't take very long. Much more effective at cleaning a nozzle's interior. Using a specialized cleaning filament makes it simpler, while regular filament can also be used.

What is Cold Pull and How to Perform it?

The cold pull also called atomic pull technique, uses a filament strand and deliberate temperature changes to clear or clean a nozzle without disassembling the entire device.

This process is picking up a glob of material and other small debris that are blocking the nozzle with a strand of filament that has a molten tip and dragging the strand out, ideally removing the clog and debris with it.

A few iterations of this cold pull will often resolve nozzle problems without the need to disassemble the nozzle and run the risk of harm or improper reassembly. So, if you have a clogged nozzle, this is typically the first thing you should try.

Reason: Unleveled Bed or Improper Nozzle Height

Sometimes there is an unleveled bed or the height between the nozzle and the print bed is not optimum.

Solution

Verify the height of the nozzle. Make sure the bed is level and place a piece of white or copier paper between the nozzle and the bed. When you attempt to slide the paper, there ought to be "some" pressure on it. This is a fantastic place to start; you may make changes to improve the filament's adhesion as you print. Make sure the bed is level as well.

Controlling LEDs over WiFi using NodeMCU and Blynk App.

This article is the base on the Internet of things ( IoT ) . IoT describes the network of physical objects—“things” or objects—that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the Internet. In this article 3 LEDs will be controlled by an android application (made using Blynk) over a wifi connection. How to use NodeMCU with Blynk  If you want to start learn the Internet of Things (IoT) concept, then controlling a LED over the  internet is the " Hello World!" of the IoT journey. Performing the " Hello World" task will be easy using NodeMCU micro-controller as the first client and Blynk as the 'broker' or server and Blynk android application as the second client. Now communication between two clients will happen through broker over the internet. Now lets, make this happen.  Components Required For this activity we will need following components: Nod...

How to Know the NodeMCU IP Address for Your Next IoT Project

  NodeMCU IP Address: The NodeMCU is a popular development board for IoT projects. It’s small, affordable, and comes with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, making it the perfect choice for creating connected devices. But before you can start building your NodeMCU projects, you need to know the IP address of your device. This IP address is essential for communicating with the NodeMCU from another device, such as a computer or smartphone. In this article, we’ll show you how to find the NodeMCU IP address, so you can get started with your next IoT project. Method 1: To Know the NodeMCU IP Address One of the easiest ways to find the NodeMCU IP address is by using the serial monitor in the Arduino IDE. First, connect your NodeMCU board to your computer using a micro-USB cable. Then, upload the following code to the NodeMCU: #include <ESP8266WiFi.h> void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); Serial.println(); Serial.print("Connecting to "); Serial.println(...

Blinking of LED Using Arduino UNO

Hi !!!! Here we are going to learn very very simple use of Arduino, that is blinking of a LED. Here we will do simplest project using Arduino. So, here we go.... COMPONENTS REQUIRED - Bread Board Arduino UNO Jumper Wires Power Source (5V) / Battery Resistor (1K) CIRCUIT PREPA RATION - Take bread board and Arduino. Connect the +5V from Arduino to the +Ve line on Bread Board and GROUND from Arduino to -Ve line on bread board. Red Wire     : +5 V Black Wire  : GROUND     Now put a LED on bread board. Connect the Anode (+ / Longer terminal) of led to the pin 13 of Arduino. Connect Cathode (- / Shorter terminal)  to 1K ohm resistor and connect another terminal of resistor to the GND on breadboard.   Now our circuit is ready to work.  Our next aim is to build the code. Let's make our code. CODE -     To download the complete code -  CLICK HERE -----------------------------...
