10 Tips for 3D Printing Success

Tips for Better 3D Prints

Getting quality prints takes practice. Here are 10 tips to improve your results:

  1. Level your bed - A properly leveled bed is crucial for first layer adhesion
  2. Use quality filament - Cheap filament leads to poor results
  3. Check nozzle temperature - Different materials need different temps
  4. Clean your bed - Dawn dish soap once a month; every other print, alcohol and a paper towel
  5. Calibrate E-steps - Ensure proper extrusion
  6. Use supports when needed - Don’t skip supports for overhangs
  7. Slow down - Faster isn’t always better
  8. Check for warping - Monitor your prints during printing
  9. Store filament properly - Keep it dry and cool
