Abstract
This research examined various factors that affect successful FDM-type 3D printing. Specifically diameters of the nozzles, extrusion width, and layer thickness were varied to create several print patterns and fills. These print patterns were tested for appearance/surface finish, strength, speed and stiffness of composite materials and then the best print parameters and methodologies were recorded. The solid interior pattern fill showed the highest volume fill available, representing fewer voids and thus better strengths and more durable parts. The solid interior pattern fill also had the best surface finish for all types of fill. Also, printing with small layer thickness produced stronger prints albeit at higher build times.
