3D Printer Array Upgrade

This project spanned both of my co-op terms at Protocase. In Term 1 (Fall 2020), I conducted research and testing on the existing Prusa i3 MK3S printers — performing literature reviews, failed print analysis, and print parameter optimization.

In Term 2 (Summer 2021), I led the upgrade to 10 Raise3D Pro2 printers. I designed a new printer station in SolidWorks, created standardized operating procedures and templates, and established the workflow for the expanded array.

I wrote comprehensive co-op reports for both terms documenting the research, testing methodology, results, and recommendations. The upgraded array significantly expanded Protocase's rapid prototyping capabilities.
