Print prep checklist
Printers reward preparation. This checklist takes ten minutes and prevents most failed prints.
The checklist
Watertight mesh. Wall thickness above nozzle limit. Clearances for moving parts. Minimum feature size. Orientation chosen. Test slice passes. If any step fails, fix the model, not the printer.
Frequently asked questions

Check which checklist step would have caught it, add that check to your habit. Fails are curriculum.
