The goal of the thesis was to compare how different settings in 3D printing influence the mechanical properties obtained from a standard tensile test. The goal was to find out how the overlap of the inner layer affects the end result, whether a higher overlap results in better mechanical properties or not. Different directions of printing the inner layers and different printing temperatures were researched. Two materials, namely PETG and PLA-CF were considered. A series with two samples was printed for every parameter under consideration. Each series had two versions, where version A had a 30 % overlap of the inner layers and version B had a 70% overlap. The results show that the effect of some parameters on the ultimate strength is clear, while some of the parameters require further testing.
