Abstract
POM (Polyoxymethylene) is a widely used engineering thermoplastic. It is relatively easy to be recycled in many industrial applications and one such way could be through 3D printing. FDM printing of polyoxymethylene comes with numerous challenges such as: poor bed adhesion, warping, delamination, and loss of mechanical properties. This research aims to develop reliable printing parameters to improve print quality and investigate the corelation between print quality and mechanical properties of printed samples. Multiple repetitions of varying print parameters have resulted in parts ranging from small prints failing on the first few layers, to large beams and dog-bone samples printed with relatively high quality and just under 60% of bulk material strength.
