(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. Febi Varghese, the Director and Chief Executive Officer of Kesnik, p
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 additio
