4 points must be taken care when selecting 3D printer!

3D printers are familiar and unfamiliar to many people, perhaps because we understand how it works, but we know little about how to pick and use the 3D printers. Now more and more manufacturers on the market produce 3D printers, so we probably do not know how to choose the suitable one in this situation.

We used to recommend the Geeetech Rostock 301 3D Printer as it has fewer problems, is affordable relatively, and easy to operate, which is a good choice for entry. We got to admit that the 3D printer printing is so fascinating and amazing that it attracts more and more amateurs or DIY lovers to start 3D printing. Today, we will talk more about how to select the right 3D printer.

1. Slice software

Slice software is essential. We should pay attention to whether the process of slicing can be seen on the computer, whether it’s convenient to set the parameters and so on. Ultimaker Cura, Makerbot Makerware, and Flashforge Flashprint, as well as the famous Simplify 3D,  might be the most applied applications.

2. Print accuracy

What is the printing accuracy? In fact, is the error between the printed model and the design size of 3D drawings, as well as the product surface smoothness. In general, the layer accuracy and positioning accuracy are clearly presented in the parameter table.

3. Easy to operate

Many users are not senior users of the 3D printer, so when buying the machine, pay attention to the simplicity of machine operation. Users can make a comparison before buying.

4. After-sales service

After-sales service, including whether to provide free training installation services, warranty time, whether to provide on-site service.

In addition to the 4 points above, users should also consider the type of machine consumables when purchasing a machine (more types of print material is supported the better) and the individual's printing needs (printing large objects or small objects). Therefore, we should choose the high-quality 3D printer board.
