The newly introduced eye-catching bright red Sinterit Lisa SLS 3D printer has made all colleagues in the office eager to print some fun stuff.
Let's check out the results. This time, we 3D printed some samples again.
The brake caliper model, fresh off the printer, emerges from the SLS 3D printer as a large gray powder block. After clearing away the excess powder, you can see the
brake caliper model. First, use a small brush to gently remove unwanted powder, then place it in a sandblaster for a more thorough cleaning using compressed air.
Like an ancient artifact just unearthed
The brake caliper model printed this time used PA12 smooth print-ready powder, with a layer thickness of 0.075mm, a total volume of 88.02 cubic centimeters, and a printing time
of about 39 hours.
Simple cleaning with a brush

This time, we also printed many different 3D models. Due to the characteristics of the SLS 3D printer, models can be stacked together for printing, as shown in the picture.
The way they are arranged allows for printing at least a dozen different objects, all depending on how you arrange the models.
The other two small models printed this time were perfect in quality, and the best part is that there's no need to remove supports anymore!!!!
So, our post-processing is very simple: just clean up the excess powder, and you'll have a perfect 3D printed product. It's super convenient!
