3d Printers


3d Printers are simple devices used for 3d printing objects, usually done by loading a 3d model onto the 3d printer and having it 3d print the model for you. However, they can be quite complicated at times, especially for those who have never successfully attempted to use a 3d printer before.
Disclaimer: This tutorial is largely for 3d printers that 3d print using pastic thread called filament that is heated to it's melting point and formed into the 3d model that has been loaded into the 3d printer. If your 3d printer is not as discribed, then this tutorial is NOT for you. Please find another tutorial that better matches the way your 3d printer works. We are telling you this now so you don't waste your time and get of upset at us for it. Thank you for your time.
First, you need to assemble you 3d printer. There isn't much we can do to help you here, exept for directing you to here for instructions.
Next, you need to purchase 3d filement for your 3d printer.
Now, all that you need to do is load the 3d filement into the 3d printer. This is a fairly simple thing to do. Just find the hole and/or tube, grab your 3d filement, and feed it in until it reaches the end.
The next step is to load the 3d model that you wish to 3d print. See here for more information on 3d model construction. The way you load the 3d model onto your 3d printer is dependent on what model and/or brand of 3d printer you're using, but the 2 most common ways are 1. Some sort of cable plugging into your computer, or 2. An SD card.
Now that the 3d printer has a 3d model loaded, all you need to do is tell the 3d printer to 3d print, wait for the bed and/or nozzle to heat up properly, wait for the 3d printer to finish the 3d print, and remove the 3d print from the bed of the 3d printer.
The End
