Özet
In this study, the changes in the mechanical properties of parts
produced using the fused deposition modeling (FDM) method were
investigated according to the printing speed of a three-dimensional (3D)
printer. For this purpose, tensile test specimens were prepared using
poly-lactic acid (PLA) material on an Ender 3 S1 Pro 3D printer, with
printing speeds ranging from 15 mm/s to 105 mm/s in 15 mm/s increments
and at 100% infill rates. In the research, the masses, hardness values,
and surface roughness of the samples were measured in detail to
determine the potential effects of printing speed on the mechanical
properties of PLA. Additionally, porosity values were calculated to
determine the homogeneity of the samples' internal structure and void
ratios. The obtained results demonstrate that changes in printing speed
lead to significant alterations in the production quality and strength
performance of the samples. The findings of this research indicate that
3D printing speed can play a decisive role in the mechanical properties
of the material.
