Abstract
A method of making deflection members is disclosed. The deflection members may be 3D objects that may include cross-linkable polymers and may be printed directly onto permeable materials utilizing at least two different printer settings.
Claims9
A method for three-dimensional printing a print material that comprises cross-linkable polymer onto a permeable material, comprising:
- printing an under structure that has at least one layer of the print material for a three-dimensional pattern onto a print plate of a three-dimensional printer;
- increasing a distance between a print head of the three-dimensional printer and the at least one layer of the print material;
- providing a prompt to place the permeable material on the at least one layer of the print material;
- printing a bonding layer of the print material for the three-dimensional pattern onto the permeable material at a first printer setting;
- printing a build layer of the print material for the three-dimensional pattern onto the bonding layer of the material at a second printer setting, wherein the first printer setting is different from the second printer setting;
- curing, via crosslinking, the cross-linkable polymer to form a belt deflection member;
- and
- wherein the first printer setting includes a first material output temperature and the second printer setting includes a second material output temperature, wherein the second material output temperature is different than the first material output temperature.
