#3d printer settings

While the number of users  of 3D printer is growing at a very high speed, more often we can hear from beginners that they are disappointed with 3D printing and the result is not as  they have seen in pictures or on the Internet. However, more experienced users recommend not to give up so quickly, because they believe that excellent results can be achieved even with the simplest 3D printers.

But why are so many new users disappointed with  3D printing?

There may be many different answers to this question, but the two main reasons include inappropriate filament and incorrect use of 3D printer settings. Finding the right 3D printer parameters will help in most of the cases.

Take a look of some of the common mistakes beginners make in 3D printer parameters

1)      Wrong print speed Print speed refers to the speed at which the extruder travels while it lays down filament. Optimal settings depend on what design you’re printing, the filament you’re using, the printer, and your layer height. Of course, everyone wants to print their object as quickly as possible, but fast print speeds can cause complications and messy looking prints.

2)      Supports Supports are structures that help hold up 3D objects that don’t have enough base material to build off of as they are being printed. Since objects are printed in layers, parts of an object that extend past a 45 degree angle will have nothing for the first layer of filament to build on. These are called overhangs and can create a drooping look without supports.

And many more.

What is a 3d printer community and how can it help?

Getting information nowadays is very simple . A 3d printer community is a web community where you can find information about finding the optimal 3D printer settings and quality filaments. I can recommend 3dprintmaterials.guru platform, as their community members update webpage all the time with new filament test results and the 3d printing settings that were being used while making the project.

3Dprintmaterials.guru

3Dprintmaterials.guru is web-based platform for all 3D printer filament users, for beginners and also for experienced users. This platform is based on the opinion of experienced 3D printer users and 3D printer filament testers. Beginners may feel confused because there are many parameters and 3D printing settings does not fit no any 3D printer. 

At the beginning users have to spend hours when selecting the best filaments and it is quite complicated.There are several important things to be followed in order to succeed in 3D printing.

Best filament and other important things

You may think that printing 3D objects is very simple, but there are some things that ypu need to remember and follow in order to achieve good results.

Most important thing is finding the best filament for your needs. Web-based platform are based on easily understandable filament review information, so you can use this information for your needs and to improve your skills in 3D printing. Filament review is based on community generated filament test results.

The second important thing is choosing the appropriate 3D printer settings for your print. You have to choose print settings that is properly for your printer because you will fail and have bed results if you choose incorrect settings. Even if you will use good quality filament but unsuitable settings and paremeters, result will not such as you expected.

Few of the most important parameters

Few of the most important parameters are:

1. Temperature

2. Filament speed

3. Layer thickness

These parameters directly affect the outcome, for example, if you set too high temperature, filament will start leaking. If the speed is too high it might be the case that the extruder will lay down next layer although the previous layer had not managed to cool down. The smaller layer thickness, the smoother and more detailed the result surface will be, but most of consumer class FDM 3D printers can print only about 0.1 mm and larger layers.
