In FDM 3D Printing, during the slicing phase of the project to be printed you can completely choose how to place it on the print bed. In fact, each piece, depending on its geometry, can have one or more positions...

During the printing process, FDM 3D printers move axes with a certain speed set during slicing, expressed in mm/s. However, the set speed is not reached immediately, but occurs by a process of Acceleration (mm/s²) and Jerk (mm/s). The jerk...

Many FDM 3D printer users prefer to use advanced management systems to start and control the printing process, both locally and remotely. One of these systems is Octoprint, probably the most preferred by users, as it is cheap to make...

The calibration of the first layer takes place by calibrating the distance between the tip of the nozzle and the surface of the printing plate; in this way the extruded plastic will stick correctly to the plane, being crushed slightly...

In 3D printing, extrusion flow is a key aspect to consider if you want to obtain not only quality prints, but also dimensionally correct prints. The flow is closely related to the speed of rotation of the gear wheel attached...
