IntroSupports are scaffolding that let your printer build overhangs and bridges. Used smartly, they enable complex shapes without ruining surfaces or wasting filament. Here’s how to dial them in. When supports are necessary Overhangs steeper than ~45° from vertical Horizontal bridges longer than 5–10 mm Floating features like outstretched arms […]

IntroWarping—corners lifting off the bed—ruins flatness and can cause parts to detach entirely. It’s most common with ABS/ASA/Nylon. Here’s how to minimize it. Why warping happens Plastic shrinks as it cools Bottom layers cool slower than top layers Internal tension pulls corners upward Quick adhesion fixes Clean bed with isopropyl

IntroPETG is the “do-everything” filament for functional parts: tougher than PLA and more forgiving than ABS. It does string more—but with the right tweaks, you’ll get clean, strong parts every time. Baseline settings Nozzle 235–250 °C Bed 75–90 °C Cooling 30–50% Speed 40–60 mm/s Retraction: 1 mm @ 35 mm/s

IntroResin printing delivers ultra-detailed, smooth models that filament can’t match. Perfect for minis, jewelry, and intricate prototypes. Learn the workflow and safety basics to start strong. How resin printing works MSLA/SLA printers cure liquid photopolymer resin with UV light through an LCD mask, building one layer at a time across

IntroPart removal should be drama-free. If you’re gouging your build surface or bending parts, try these safer, cleaner methods. Let temperature work for you Most parts loosen as the plate cools—wait a few minutes. On spring steel, flex the plate gently from the back. For glass, a razor scraper at
