The bed is one of the most important parts of a 3D printer. For optimal printing performance, it must be properly cleaned after each printing session. Traces of filament are deposited on it over time. Although cleaning the 3D printer’s printing plate is not a complicated task, it can quickly become one if you do not have an effective method or the right cleaning product. So how do you go about cleaning this essential part of your 3D printer? We suggest you discover the most effective methods.

Since their invention, 3D printers have proven to be much more efficient in printing many objects than conventional manufacturing techniques. However, for optimal performance when printing your 3D parts, calibration is essential. This procedure seems tedious and time-consuming to many 3D printer owners. However, it is much simpler than it seems if you know the right tips to do it. Cults3D presents the different steps to follow for a successful calibration of your printer.

Objects created with a 3D printer do not always look as good as they should. While the rendering of 3D printed parts is generally acceptable, this may not be sufficient if the object is intended for sale or display. Some people simply want a perfectly smooth, shiny surface for their 3D print. Fortunately, it is possible to achieve this level of perfection with the right tools. This tutorial explains how to smooth your ABS and PLA 3D prints for optimal results.
