Documenting Recommendations

A detailed report of the recommendation must accompany the results. The recommendation must specify the following:

• TypesMaterials ofused printin materialsconcrete thatwith areexact suitable for 3D printingpercentages
• Types of extruders that each print material should use
• Design specifications document for the printer build
• Recommended 3D software to use
• Precautions to be taken when setting up the 3D printer
• Comparison of time taken to print the object on this printer versus a regular 3D printer.
