This 3D printing troubleshooting handbook will help you to: a) prevent 3D printing failures, b) improve the overall print quality of your 3D prints, c) avoid expensive 3D printing post-processing, and above all, d) identify and correct specific error patterns.

This Troubleshooting Guide includes over 40 errors that can occur using an FDM 3D printer! This book not only explains the causes of unsatisfactory printing results but provides specific solution steps that you can apply to solve your 3D Printing issues. Use this compact guide for extensive troubleshooting and improve the quality of your printing results in no time.

The author of the book is an enthusiastic 3D printing user and engineer (M. Eng. ). Besides a short introduction to the basic concepts of 3D printing for beginners, an analysis of critical components, and a print bed leveling guide, you will also find an image-based directory of all error patterns for easy and quick identification of your specific 3D printing problem.

The free slicing software "Cura" is used in this concept. Numerous images support the explanations of the book and thus create a clear and simple 3D printing troubleshooting.
