Abstract

At this point, you either have a new 3D printer or you have just finished calibrating the hardware of the printer you’ve built yourself. Either way, you are now looking at the exciting possibilities of printing your first object. To get the most out of your printer and indeed your first printing experience, you need to take some time to prepare your printer. Yes, there are still more things you need to work on—even for a printer right out of the box. While this sounds like more tedious procedures and fiddling, that isn’t the case.

Fußnoten
1
Or new to you.
 
2
It is as close to a magic cure as you’re likely to get for ABS lifting.
 
3
Never, ever attempt to use painter’s tape that is made of plastic of any variety. It will not survive application on a heated print bed and may make a mess of your prints because it may stick to your objects.
 
4
This is one of those YMMV situations. It is harder to control lifting and adhesion problems, and for that reason alone I’d recommend waiting to use blue painter’s tape with ABS until you’ve had some experience controlling lifting and similar adhesion problems.
 
5
Every Apple device I’ve seen has several pieces inside.
 
6
It can also cause larger objects to develop cracks where layers separate during cooling.
 
7
Not to be confused with ABS slurry, which is a thicker concoction used to glue parts together.
 
8
Can you tell what I printed? Hint: it is for a MakerBot Replicator 2.
 
9
Animal hair does not dissolve in acetone.
 
10
It will also dry your skin almost instantly. Guess how I know this? Don’t go there!
 
11
OK, so maybe ABS juice on top of Kapton is unorthodox to some, but it does work well for me.
 
12
Diskette? What’s a diskette? Wonderfully antiquated, isn’t it?
 
13
I cannot understate how important these steps are to print quality. Always check your Z-height and home all the axes before doing any other operations on your printer.
 
14
Older versions had the feature under the Design ➤ Export as STL... menu.
