He shares with us the “checklist” that allows him to make quality 3D prints. Good listening ! Contents: Determine the precise diameter of your filaments for each spool. Check that your nozzle is clean and not clogged. How to remove the filament at the end of printing? Check see change the extruder. (Example) Think about maybe changing the bowden for a more precise version. Maybe switch to a direct drive version which has advantages but also disadvantages. Calibrate the printer at the extruder level. Determine the step per millimeter. Define the percentage of extrusion for each type of filament with test prints and measurements. (For calibration, To optimize with tests)Adjust the PIDs of your printer: That of your print head and that of your bed.Heat the bed a few minutes before the start of printing.Level the bed.Prepare the surface of the bed for grip.…
