- Using vision processing to detect print failure
- Use a green-screen to measure the printed part outline, then compare to a render of the .stl from the same perspective to detect print failure
- Use two cameras from perpendicular perspectives to ensure complete failure detection
- Use a green-screen to measure the printed part outline, then compare to a render of the .stl from the same perspective to detect print failure
- Using a proximity sensor on the head to detect head positioning failure
- Measuring the weight of the bed to detect extrusion failure
- Using a limit switch to detect filament breaks
- using a gripping wheel and an encoder to detect filament jams
- Using vision processing to detect print failure
- restart print at point of failure when possible Swallen (talk) 07:34, 3 December 2015 (PST)
- Detect where the print left off so it can be restarted from that specific layer
- Use vision processing to measure height of printed part
- Guess last successful layer based on the point where a failure was detected
- Use weight of print bed to measure where the failure occured
- Use the print head to measure the part height
- Use a touch probe on the print head to measure the height of the printed surface
- Use a proximity sensor on the print head to measure the height of the printed surface
- Restart print from the exact point in the gcode where the point left off
- Find the failed layer in gcode, and start a new print starting at that layer
- Detect where the print left off so it can be restarted from that specific layer
- Fix failed portions of a print Swallen (talk) 07:34, 3 December 2015 (PST)
- Remove excess or failed material from print
- Use a hot surface to burn away excess material;
- Use jets of hot air to burn away excess Material;
- Use a solder-sucker type device to remove failed or excess material
- use a solder tip to scrape excess material away
- Reshape failed portions of the print
- use a solder tip to physically reshape failed parts of a print
- Reprint failed portions of the print
- give the print head more degrees of freedom so it can reprint failed overhangs
- Remove excess or failed material from print
- Removed the failed print from the bed to clear space to try again Swallen (talk) 07:34, 3 December 2015 (PST)
