Dremel Glossary Flashcards
(36 cards)
Build Platform
The flat surface used by your Dremel 3-D 45 to build objects. The build platform is comprised of a tempered glass plate with a plastic holder.
Build Platform Clips
clips located at the front of the build platform base that are used to secure the build platform in place.
Build Volume
The three dimensional amount of space that an object will use once it is completed. Your Dremel 3-D 45 has a maximum build volume which means that objects with a larger build volume cannot be built unless they are resized or broken into sub-objects.
Door
Your Dremel 3-D 45 has a door located at the front panel. This allows for easy access to the build platform, extruder, filament, and your objects. This door is made with a transparent material so you can monitor the process of your objects while keeping the build environment stable.
ECO-ABS
Natural thermoplastic that provides users with durable and impact resistant parts.
Ethernet Port
A local area wired networking technology that allow electronic devices to communicate.
Extruder
An assembly that uses gears to pull filament through the extruder intake, heat the filament, to the build temperature, and push the heated filament out of the extruder tip.
Extruder Fans
Fans used to cool the outer assembly of the extruder and gear motor.
Extruder Fan Baffle
A plastic piece that directs error from the exterior fan onto the build platform to assist in cooling the active build.
Extruder Intake
An opening located at the top of the extruder filament is inserted for building.
Extruder Lever
A leather located on the side of the extruder that is used to loosen the grip of the extruder gear motor.
Extruder Tip
A nozzle located at the bottom of the extruder where heated filament is forced out for building.
Filament
A threadlike strand of plastic material.
Filament Guide Tube
A plastic tube that guides the filament from the spool holder to the extruder of the printer.
Filament Runout Sensor
A sensor in the extruder intake that pauses your printer if it runs out if filament during a build.
Filament Spool
A cylindrical piece on which a long strand of filament is wound for storage and continuous use.
.g, .gcode and .g3drem
Buildable file formats compatible with your Dremel 3-D 45.
Glue Stick
Non-toxic and acid-free stick of glue that is applied to the build platform to help prints stick.
Leveling Knobs
Knobs located under the base of the build platform that allow users to easily level the build platform before each print.
Leveling Switch
A sensor that detects the height of the build platform and assists in proper leveling.
Lid
Your Dremel 3-D 45 has a pivoting lid on the top. This allows for more access to the build platform, extruder, filament and objects when necessary.
Needle Nose Pliers
Common tool used to hold small objects and to grab excess material that may be too hot to touch directly.
Nylon
Synthetic polymer that provides strong and flexible prints with heavy wear resistance.
OBJ File
A common digital file format used in a wide range of 3D model software. This file is created in a 3rd party 3D software or downloaded from dremeldigilab.com.
