3D Printer Maintenance: 10 Essential Tips to Make Simple
If you’ve spent any time with a 3D printer, you already know they’re not “set it and forget it” machines. They’re more like pets… mechanical ones. Feed them the right material, keep them clean, and they’ll reward you with perfect prints. Neglect them, and you’ll start hearing noises you’ve never heard before.
Perfect 3D Prints Start Here: Why First Layers Are Critical
Discover why the first layer makes or breaks your 3D prints. Learn the secrets to flawless foundations, prevent print failures, and achieve professional results every time.
The first layer of your 3D prints is like the foundation of a house. If the foundation isn’t stable, the structure above will suffer. In FDM (fused deposition modeling) prints, the plastic that is extruded must properly adhere to the printing surface and be evenly distributed. If the first layer fails, the rest of your print will likely experience poor quality.
