Tips For Using 3D Printers

Many friends who are just getting started do not know how to use 3D printers after purchasing them. If they are not used properly, they will not only fail to produce good products but also cause certain damage to the equipment. So today I'm going to tell you about some common usage skills of 3D printers.

1. Print bed calibration

There is no doubt about this, everyone knows that the unevenness of the workbench determines the flatness of the product. If the working surface is uneven or slightly inclined, the distance between the 3D printer nozzle and the working surface will change.

2. Set the Z-axis spacing

If there is no problem in the first step, you should pay attention to this step. If the gap between the nozzle and the working surface is too small, the molten plastic cannot be extruded from the nozzle. If it is too high, it may not be printed on the workbench.

3. Pay attention to the first layer

The first layer of any 3D printer is particularly important when printing because it is like building a building. The foundation must be firm, otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble in subsequent printing, so pay attention to whether the deposition is bonded to the work surface. If it is not firm, cancel the printing in time, so as not to waste consumables and time.

4. Print as small objects as possible

The size that a 3D printer can print is also determined by its own equipment. The larger the item to be printed, the greater the problem may occur, so it is necessary to print the suitable size according to the equipment instructions.

5. Normal equipment maintenance

The 3D printer is a kind of precision equipment, and daily maintenance is also very important, especially its moving parts, so it is necessary to carry out regular maintenance and maintenance according to the product instructions in order to prolong its service life.
