Production of a Strain-Measuring Device with an Improved 3D Printer

The two-phase solid-liquid fabrication can also be applied to the manufacturing of structural microsphere materials in various field of study, including the electronics, biopharmaceutical, energy, and defense sectors. This system does not require wires or electrical connection and allows a wide range of applications related to microstructure deformation to be measured. Before beginning the procedure, construct an experimental platform that includes a modified 3-D printer, a strain gauge indicator, a driving device, a support frame, an aluminum bar, a PDMS lens, a smartphone, weights, a printed amplifier, and a strain gauge.

Set the height of the nylon layer in the printer to 0.05 millimeters. Set the diameter of the printing head to 0.2 millimeters, and set the nozzle temperature to 220 degrees Celsius. Set the printing speed to 2000 millimeters per minute.
