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
