Almost comprehensive guide to dialing in your printer

I suggest that you read this after having done at least 20 prints on your printer to get an idea of issues that you would get. I read this book twice since I couldn't relate to the topics listed here when I started out with my new ender 3. After having made a lot of mistakes, many things in the book make sense and I find the information useful. Thanks to the 3d printing General for writing this book.

Great resource!!

There is a lot of information and it has been grouped very well in this book. I have many successful prints and many failures too. Now I'm pretty sure I know why the prints failed and how to fix them. If you are a new or intermediate 3D printer, this book will make your life easier!!

Good update.

Used to troubleshoot errors with my 3D prints. My problem was actually solved with a hint on the net to lubricate the filament but I believe the information on this book would be very useful.

This is more of a reference guide vs. something you would read cover to cover. It has been updated (2020) and is available on Kindle Unlimited.

实用性极强的一本书，3D打印新手必备。3D打印机还不能做到像家用喷墨打印机一样省心，反复调试犯错少不了，这本书里包含了调试中可能碰到的各种问题。
