A new strategy for material extrusion additive manufacturing in which the speed and height of the print nozzle were changed to achieve accumulation or thinning of extruded silicone hydrogel. a The concept of raising the nozzle above the print bed and controlling the extrusion rate and nozzle speed. b The resulting printing characteristics achieved with various settings for non-dimensionalised parameters for print height (H*) and nozzle speed (V*).
