Fig. 7: Charge control and mitigation.
From: Direct observation of electrostatic charging in 3D printing
a Charge control performed with a Zerostat® piezoelectric gun applying 5 positive shots and 15 positive shots on a printed sample in the "U" shape. b Electrification of glass and PTFE by friction with a polyethylene plate and impression of a TPU sample on the electrified surfaces (electrostatic mappings of PTFE see Supplementary Information Fig. S6). c Ex situ mapping of ABS with increasing layers. d Multi-filament sample composed of ABS, PETG, and Nylon, printed on a Bambu Lab textured PEI plate. Dotted red rectangles indicate the positions of the materials within the electrostatic map.
