For personal 3D printer user: 4 things you need to keep in mind!

During the 3D printing process, there will always be a variety of unexpected situations, such as the printer sudden power off, the hot nozzle melt the model and many other issues. Are there any solutions to these problems?

To learn how to 3D print, first of all, we have to have a 3D printer. Nowadays, there are many kinds of 3D printers on the market, but what kind of printer is really suitable for you?

First: The choice of the 3D printer

When you post a question on the forum, “I want to buy a 3D printer, what should I buy?”, this time, the senior players will usually recommend you to DIY a 3D printer. However, for a 3D print novice, DIY is not so easy to operate. If you are a novice, we usually recommend models like the Geeetech Rostock 301 3D Printer(3-in-1-out Triple-color), these brands of 3D printer have fewer problems, affordable relatively, and easy to operate, which is a good choice for entry.

Second: Selection of supplies

Consumables as the basic material of 3D printing, play an absolute role. 3D printer nozzle size and heating temperature will make the different impact on the supplies. For example, PLA, ABS and other supplies due to different effects of cold contraction and other issues, will perform differently, which already have the corresponding solution. However, for some fewer use supplies such as wood consumables, we should pay more attention. If the wood powder clogs the nozzle, it is recommended to use a replacement nozzle or other solution to dilute or break down the internal consumables.

Third: 45-degree rule

In general, any part of the 3D model that is tilted over 45 degrees requires additional material to support. If you want to avoid the use of support materials, in the production of 3D models, remember to keep the tilt within 45 degrees.

Forth: 3D model size

Although you can reduce the proportion of the model, some meticulous places will not be able to print out, so your 3D model size and your 3D printer printable area should be approximately equal as much as possible. So a nice 3D printer frame is very important. The 3D printer frame from the Geeetech Prusa I3 X 3D Printer is widely acclaimed.
