Construction of a low-cost filament winder for 3D printers

The increase in demand for both fast and inexpensive prototyping of objects, with a certain degree of resilience and durability, is the main reason why 3D printing has become part of the concept of industry 4.0 and it is omnipresent in research facilities and industries around the world. In this work, we describe step-by-step the construction process of a filament winder that can be adapted for many commercially available bench-size polymer extruders. The electronic circuit used to regulate the winding rate, and therefore the thickness of the filament, is completely based on simple open-code microcontrollers such as Arduino Uno. Finally, it is showed that using this system it is possible to obtain printable ABS filaments with a wide range of thicknesses and a margin of error of around 5%481548114822COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE PESSOAL DE NÍVEL SUPERIOR - CAPESFUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO - FAPESP0012013/22127-2; 2017/23960-

Palladium(ii) Complex With S-allyl-l-cysteine: New Solid-state Nmr Spectroscopic Measurements, Molecular Modeling And Antibacterial Assays.

Nuclear magnetic resonance studies, molecular modeling and antibacterial assays of the palladium(II) complex with S-allyl-L-cysteine (deoxyalliin) are presented. Studies based on solid and solution 13C and 15N nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy confirmed that the palladium(II) complex preserved the same structural arrangement in both states, with no modifications on coordination sphere when dissolved in water. Density functional theory (DFT) studies stated that the trans isomer is the most stable one. Antibacterial activities of S-allyl-L-cysteine and its palladium(II) complex were evaluated by antibiogram assays using the disc diffusion method. The palladium(II) complex showed an effective antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive), Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram-negative) bacterial cells.78313-
