Description
Maintaining and Troubleshooting Your 3D Printer by Charles Bell is your guide to keeping your 3D printer running through preventive maintenance, repair, and diagnosing and solving problems in 3D printing. If you’ve bought or built a 3D printer such as a MakerBot only to be confounded by jagged edges, corner lift, top layers that aren’t solid, or any of a myriad of other problems that plague 3D printer enthusiasts, then here is the book that can assist you get past all that and recapture the joy of creative fabrication. The book also includes valuable tips for builders and those who wish to modify their printers to get the most out of their investment.
Good fabrication begins with calibration. Aligning the print bed to enhance deposition of medium in three dimensions is critical. Even off-the-shelf machines that are pre-built will have to be aligned and periodically realigned all through their life cycle. Maintaining and Troubleshooting Your 3D Printer helps you achieve and hold proper alignment. Maintaining and Troubleshooting Your 3D Printer also helps with software and hardware troubleshooting. You’ll Learn how to diagnose and solve firmware calibration problems, filament and feed problems, chassis issues, and more.
Finally there are regular maintenance and enhancements. You’ve invested significantly in your 3D printer. Protect that investment the use of the guidance in this book. Learn how to clean and lubricate your printer, to handle the chassis, and know when realignment of the print bed is needed. Learn ways to master your craft and make stronger the quality of your prints through such things as post-print finishing and filament management.
Don’t let the challenges of 3D printing stand in the way of creativity. Maintaining and Troubleshooting Your 3D Printer by Charles Bell helps you conquer the challenges and get the most have the benefit of your expensive investment in personal fabrication.
