3D PRINTING EXPERT PLEASE!

Anonymous — Mon, 23 Nov 2020 12:27:05 GMT

Hello! I was wondering if you could 3D print on an already 3D printed product. For example I 3D print a box from PLA and then after it cools off (or not? not sure) I put it back in the printed and proceed to 3D print some other elements on it also from PLA. is this possible? can it be done?

This is really the wrong forum for this.

Depending on the material and printer it is sometimes possible. You do get a weak layer where the new joins the old so don't expect it to be very strong.

I would look for forums associated with the printer or process you are using.

This forum is about Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing (MEP) using Autodesk Fabrication products.
