I decided to print something like a keychain.
For that I made a model in blender and imported it in Fusion 360.
This is how it looks finished:
Now I have to slice my model for the 3D printer.
For that choose "Save As STL".
I chose the refinement medium because it does not have many little details.
After that I can import the STL file in Cura.
Choose the left menu to open the STL file.
I also rotated it and made it 5 cm high and put it in the center.
Now I can change the settings for the printer.
I am using the Ultimaker 2+, a nozzle of 0.6 mm and the material PLA.
For the quality I chose a layer height of 0.1 mm to have fine edges and an initial layer height of 0.4 mm.
To make a stable shell I selected 1 mm for the thickness and 3 wall lines.
Same for the top and bottom thickness to have it consistent.
15% infill density and the grid pattern to make it stable from all sides.
To check your infill select the layer view.
You can change the layer with the slider on the right.
I let the speed on standard because I do not need jumps or special speed settings.
When I look at my model I can see that Cura marked a few areas red.
It warns the user that the model needs support to be printed because the printer cannot print in the air.
I chose an angle of 50% and a zig zag pattern so I can remove it easily.
We can see the support now.
I made the brim 4 mm and 10 lines wide to have stable support.
You can see the lines in the upper picture.
It is ready to cut.
To print I used the Ultimaker 2+ with a nozzle of 0.6 mm what I already mentioned above.
Before I started to print I checked the material.
It was PLA and enough for my project.
I did not need to set it because it was already set.
To start the job we have a menu.
Select print.
If you want to change the material select material.
It will guide you through.
Now I can choose my project.
Select it.
The printer warms up now.
It will start the job automatically when it is ready.
It will also clean the material from residues.
Now it started to print and I have to wait until it is finished.
This is the finished print:
