Yüksek Hızlı 3D Yazıcı Parametrelerinde Farklı Filament Türlerinin Karşılaştırmalı Analizi: Teknik Filamentlerin Mekanik, Termal ve Baskı Performansı Üzerindeki Etkileri

Abstract

Bu çalışma, yüksek hızlı bir FDM 3D yazıcıda (Creality K1 Max) hem standart hem de teknik filament tiplerinin baskı performansının sistematik karşılaştırmalı değerlendirmesini sunmaktadır. Veri sayfası tabanlı karşılaştırmaların aksine, bu araştırma, PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, ASA, PC, karbon takviyeli PLA, silk PLA ve hyper PLA dahil olmak üzere yaygın olarak bulunan sekiz filament tipinde nozul sıcaklığı, yatak sıcaklığı, baskı hızı, hacimsel akış hızı ve soğutma ayarlarının gerçek dünya etkilerini deneysel olarak araştırmaktadır. Standart test geometrileri ve tutarlı çevresel kontroller kullanılarak, çalışma boyutsal doğruluğu, yüzey kalitesini ve eğilme eğilimlerini değerlendirmektedir. Sonuçlar, Hyper PLA'nın minimum yüzey kusurlarıyla 300 mm/s'ye kadar baskı hızlarına olanak tanırken, ABS ve PC gibi teknik filamentlerin eğilme ve delaminasyonu önlemek için sıkı sıcaklık ve soğutma düzenlemesi gerektirdiğini göstermektedir. Temel parametre etkileşimlerini görselleştirmek için bir korelasyon ısı haritası ve optimizasyon matrisi oluşturulmuştur. Bu çalışma, filament-spesifik davranışa dayalı baskı parametrelerinin ayarlanması için konsolide edilmiş, veri odaklı bir kılavuz sunarak alana katkıda bulunmakta; katalog verilerinin ötesine geçerek yüksek hızlı 3B baskı uygulamalarında bilinçli malzeme seçimi ve süreç kontrolü sağlamaktadır.

Beyond Datasheets: A Comparative Evaluation of Standard and Technical Filaments in High-Speed FDM 3D Printing

Abstract

This study presents a systematic comparative evaluation of the printing performance of both standard and technical filament types on a high-speed FDM 3D printer (Creality K1 Max). Unlike datasheet-based comparisons, this research experimentally investigates the real-world effects of nozzle temperature, bed temperature, print speed, volumetric flow rate, and cooling settings across nine widely available filament types, including PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, ASA, PC, carbon-reinforced PLA, silk PLA and hyper PLA. Using standardized test geometries and consistent environmental controls, the study assesses dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and warping tendencies. The results demonstrate that while Hyper PLA enables printing speeds up to 300 mm/s with minimal surface defects, technical filaments like ABS and PC require strict temperature and cooling regulation to avoid warping and delamination. A correlation heatmap and optimization matrix were constructed to visualize key parameter interactions. This work contributes to the field by offering a consolidated, data-driven guide for tuning print parameters based on filament-specific behavior—extending beyond catalog data and enabling informed material selection and process control in high-speed 3D printing applications.
