To have a perfect first layer has many positive aspects, first of all, to have a good adhesion to the bed.
Equally important is the physical aspect, often the first layer of the object is also the one exposed to the user view.
To get a perfect first layer, we take for granted that the 3d printer is well calibrated from a mechanical point of view, that is perfectly fitted.
Today I want to recommend an article that must not be missing in our drawers to finish 3d prints, 3d finish.
I received a sample of this product directly from RESIN PRO to try to verify its effective validity and ease of use.
It is a two-component resin specific to finish 3d prints, easy to use and in my opinion it guarantees an exceptional result.

Surely you can get very particular and effective things with our 3d printers, among these things we can precisely create lithophanes.
Creating litophane with our 3d printers may seem not an easy thing, in reality it is easier than it may seem thanks to a service available online for free from 3dprocks .
the site offers a tool available here where you can upload 2d images to be transformed into stl files to print lithographs.
Continue reading how to make 3d printed lithophanesA friend asked me to assemble and calibrate an Ender 3 bought for his son who wants to start 3D printing.
It was delivered to me in its original packaging, well made and cared for for the protection of the pieces contained.
The Ender 3 arrives practically already assembled and following the simple and complete instructions available online the rest can be assembled in less than an hour.

When we design and then draw a three-dimensional model to then be able to make it printed in 3d, we must take into account many factors, for example that the slicer will have to “slice” it to obtain all the coordinates to be used to carry out the physical construction by layering our three-dimensional object.
Once the drawing is finished and our file is fed to the slicer, we can find ourselves in front of a warning message that tells us “attention, the object is not manifold”.
What does it mean? In the case of 3d printing, a non-manifold object is an “non-closed” object, that is, it has imperfections that do not allow continuity during the printing phase. For example, it may be a wall that we apparently designed perpendicular to another but which actually has a minimal, practically invisible, deviation from the contact one.

If you are reading this article you already know what an FDM 3d printer is and how it works and that is that it is able to “build” a shape by depositing plastic material layer upon layer.
Yeah but what if I have to print a house with a balcony? a shape with a cantilevered part? coming out of the print base of the object?
