What’s in your tool kit? Your 3D printer came with a bag of tools to assemble and maintain your machine. Congratulations! You’re now the proud owner of a baffling number of tiny cheap wrenches, a scraper and some long thin needles. Is this all you need to keep your printer running smoothly? Probably not. But …
Unless you get in the habit of weighing every spool before you set them to print, you might be left biting your nails as the spool winds down.
You’ve unboxed your 3D printer, set it up and printed the little cat you found on your SD card, all pre-sliced from the manufacturer. You excitedly post your very first 3d print on Facebook & Twitter.
So you just got a new 3D printer? Awesome! Welcome to modern crafting! There are some people who like to jump in with both feet and just. Start. Printing. That might work…but if you don’t have you printer set up correctly, or got it tuned just right. Yikes!
