The extruder head in a fused-deposition modelling (FDM) setup has a diameter of 1.25mm and produces layers that are 0.25mm thick. If the extruder head and polymer extrudate velocities are both 40 mm/s, estimate the production time for the generation of a 38mm solid cube. Assume that there is a 10-second delay between layers as the extruder head is moved over a wire brush for cleaning.
