Then they are glued together and sanded for a smooth surface. Pazulla prints using PLA, a so-called bio-plastic. PLA is the most common material for 3D printing. Compared to the well-known ABS, PLA is less prone to warping during temperature changes and hence better suited for RepRap 3D-printers. This is because of the lower printing temperature which also saves energy. The modulus of elasticity is about 4000 MPa. \u201cThe X400 is a very precise machine. I only get a deviation of 4\/100 to 5\/100 mm per 200mm. That\u2019s more than enough\u201d, says the design engineer.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas Pazulla started with a single X400 3D-printer.
