A Cheap and Effective Way for Ceramic 3D Printer

Hi there!

I know I'm not here for a long time. I noticed that I completely forgot my blog when someone of you emailed me. So I wanted to make a good return. That's why I came up with a new design 3d printer!

First of all, I have to point out that the 3D printer has attracted my attention for a while. In my studies, I was trying to synthesize a kind of cartridge material suitable for these printers in general. In other words, I was more confident on my own behalf for the science of material, which is my specialty, by virtue of my profession. In this sense, I realized the 3D printing of the polymeric matrix material I synthesized. As most people who are interested in this matter know, buying a 3D printer that prints plastic/polymer is quite easy and cheap. You order online, pay online, oh welcome to internet age Mrs Gergeroglu,  your 3D printer is in your lab now!

But when it comes to 3D printing of ceramic materials, there is an incredible increase in prices depending on the type of devices. As an explanation for the price I mentioned,  access to such a device for a doctoral student like me is unimaginable.


But ultimately I have to think solution-oriented analytical. Because I am synthesizing bioceramic material and it is one of my professional passions to see my work in a final application area. As will be known, most of the implants are designed with ceramic based materials. If a complex-shaped implant is involved, production by conventional methods is challenging. That's why 3D printer is an extremely promising technique.

For this reason, I made a wide-ranging internet research to design my own 3D printer. As a result of this research, I met Jonathan Keep. He had designed a cheap and simple clay 3d printer.  So I redrew and scaled it through Solidworks 2017.










All of my drawing pieces are accessible and free. You can download and review here!

Apart from the mechanical parts of this design, if I can provide the software information I need someday, I hope that I can print the biomaterials I've synthesized from my printer!

As the world evolves into a terrible place, don't forget to stay home and dream!

C ya!

Rack Gear

Hello there,
Today I am going to talk about the rack gear!

This gear translates circular motion into linear motion. Thanks to the teeth opening to a flat surface, the movement of rotating gear is converted in one direction. It is usually used in automatic doors and drills.

Rack gear manufacturing can be done by using different materials according to usage place and working conditions of the gear. Plastic racks can be used for quiet, non-lubed, non-high-load work environments. They are generally used in many areas such as chemical facilities, paper factories, sugar factories, mining industry, automotive, textile industry, aviation, medical devices, food industry. Plastic Rack Gears compared to metal gears lighter and economical. Also, they are quiet and no need for lubrication. In addition to, they have corrosion and resistance to acidic environments.

It's okay here. Now let's look!





My studies are in this link. 
C ya!

Automotive Series-1

Hello,
I decided to organize a series of automotive parts. This is the first series for now.😊

Engine Valve


  • Used for internal combustion engines of motor vehicles.
  • It is used to control gas flow in engines.
  • Used to control the intake of air into the engine and the emission of burned exhaust gas
Valves used in today's modern revolving high-compression engines must be long-lived and resistant to high temperatures. For this reason they are made of special steel alloys. The intake valves are made from chrome-nickel steel alloys, while the exhaust valves are made from heat-resistant steel alloys (stellite). In some engines both can be made from the same material.

 Air Turbo





  
  • It is not exposed to very high temperatures
  • It is usually produced from aluminum.
  • Air from the air filter passes through here.

Engine Air Filter




  • During engine operation, large quantities of air taken in the cylinders are filtered to remove dust and dirt.
  • Paper filters are used today.
  • It can filter even very small particles at a sensitivity of 5 microns.


Engine air filter Solidworks Part is here.


Engine Cylinder Head




  • Closes the top of the cylinders
  • Build combustion chambers.
  • Some of the exterior parts are housed
  • It is usually produced from aluminum.
