“…Thus, we will describe herein the use of thermal energy in the form of light as a mechanism to gel cellulose locally and continuously to create a three-dimensional structure for the first time. Despite the rapid rise of using 3D printing for a growing range of (high-tech) applications, the development of specific 3D printing technology is less common, with some exceptions like the printing of tissue scaffolds or the 3D printing of food products [33,34]. This can at least be partially explained by the very high cost of specialised or high-quality printers in combination with severe material restrictions of lower cost open-source systems [33][34][35].…”

Thus, next to an analysis of the selected materials and resulting prints we will demonstrate how a material and application specific 3D printer can be designed and developed for significantly less than US $10,000 using open source software.…”

A 3D printer was developed for the 3D printing of cellulose hydrogels using open source software and simple 3D printer hardware. Using a temperature-based sol-gel transition of cellulose dissolved in aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and urea, a three-dimensional gel can be created by moving a focused laser beam across a bath of the cellulose solution and lowering the print stage after every layer. A line width of 100-150 µm and layer thickness of 25 µm of the printed part could be achieved. No delamination between printed layers occurred and no additional support material was needed to create free hanging structures due to suspending the printed part in printing liquid. By adding cellulose powder to the solution, the gelation temperature, the gel strength and stiffness can be manipulated while maintaining a high internal porosity of the gel. A laser power of 100 mW was found to produce the highest quality print with an accurate representation of the previously designed part. Lower power settings (80 mW) produced insufficient gelation and as a result reduced print accuracy while higher power settings (120 mW) caused the gel to burn.

The 3D printers widely used in the world are produced in different mechanical and electronic designs. The 3D printers which have various mechanical structures such as cartesian, delta and core (xy, xz) already are used open source code software such as Sprinter, Marlin, Cura 3D and Teacup. The control of the 3D printers is usually done by the classical Propotional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control algorithm. In this study, we have developed for the designed 3D printer a new software by using adaptive PID control algorithm instead of classical PID. Five step motors of the designed 3D printer are controlled by the adaptive PID. In addition, there are both heating and cooling processes in the extruder system and these processes are controlled by the adaptive PID. The mechanical design uses a belt and pulley drive system which is suitable for accelerated movements. In the system software, 3D Printing Software Pipeline (input model, orientation and positioning, support structures, slicing, path planning, machine instructions) is applied. The control algorithms for extruder and step motors are prepared as separate function files in software implemented in C. It has been observed that the designed software is particularly successful in eliminating errors on the surface of the products.Anahtar Kelimeler: Adaptive PID, 3D printer, step motor, algorithm. Boyutlu Yazıcılar için Uyarlamalı PID Kontrol Tabanlı Algoritma Geliştirilmesi ve Gerçeklenmesi ÖZDünyada yaygın olarak kullanılan 3B yazıcılar farklı mekanik ve elektronik tasarımlarda üretilmektedirler. Kartezyen, delta ve core (xy, xz) gibi çeşitli mekanik yapılara sahip olan 3B yazıcılarda hâlihazırda Sprinter, Marlin, Cura 3D ve Teacup gibi açık kaynak kodlu farklı yazılımlar kullanılmaktadır. 3B yazıcıların denetimi genellikle klasik PID denetim algoritması ile yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, klasik PID yerine uyarlamalı PID kontrol algoritması kullanılarak yeni bir yazılım ile 3B yazıcı tasarlanmakta ve geliştirilmektedir. Tasarlanan 3B yazıcıda beş adet adım motoru kullanılmakta, her bir motorun denetimi uyarlamalı PID ile yapılmaktadır. Ayrıca, ekstruder sisteminde hem ısıtma hem de soğutma yapıları bulunmakta olup bu süreçler uyarlamalı PID ile kontrol edilmektedir. Mekanik tasarımında ivmeli hareketler için elverişli olan kayış ve kasnak sürücü sistemi kullanılmaktadır. Sistemin yazılımında, 3B yazıcı yazılım aşamaları (giriş modeli, yönlendirme ve konumlandırma, destek yapıları, dilimleme, yol planlama, makine komutları) uygulanmaktadır. C ortamında gerçekleştirilen yazılımda ekstruder ve step motorlar için kontrol algoritmaları ayrı fonksiyon dosyaları şeklinde hazırlanmaktadır. Tasarlanan yazılımın özellikle ürünlerin yüzeyindeki hataların giderilmesinde başarılı olduğu gözlemlenmektedir.
