The newly introduced eye-catching bright red Sinterit Lisa SLS 3D printer has made colleagues in the office eager to print some fun stuff.
To see the results, we 3D printed some samples again this time.
The brake caliper model, fresh off the printer, will be a large block of gray powder when taken out of the SLS 3D printer. After clearing away the excess powder, you can see the
brake caliper model. First, use a small brush to gently remove the unwanted powder, then place it in a sandblasting machine and use an air compressor for a more thorough cleaning.
Like an artifact just unearthed
The brake caliper model printed this time used PA12 smooth print-ready powder, with a layer thickness of 0.075mm, a total volume of 88.02 cubic centimeters, and a printing time of
approximately 39 hours.
Simple cleaning with a brush

This time, we also printed many different 3D printing models. Due to the characteristics of SLS 3D printers, models can be stacked together for printing. As shown in the figure,
the way they are arranged allows for printing at least a dozen different objects, all depending on how you arrange the models.
The other two small models printed this time are of perfect quality, and the best part is that they no longer require support removal!!!!
So the post-processing we need to do is very simple: just clean up the excess powder, and you'll have perfect 3D printed objects. Super convenient, right!
