Documenting Recommendations

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

  • Materials used in concrete with exact percentages
  • 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
