3D Printing Tips

As heating the hotend up to the correct target temperature is one of the very first tasks that the firmware has to perform before starting the printing process, you will always find either the M104 or the M109 G-code command at the start (sometimes both) of any G-code file. In this article, we will explain […]

While setting the fan speed is a task that the slicer software you’re using will handle through the G-code file it produces, there can be cases where it becomes necessary to manually adjust how quickly the fan runs, usually for testing purposes. In this guide, we will take you through the functionality and the usage…

Whether it’s to troubleshoot a print problem without having to abort the print and start over or to change the filament spool mid-print, there is no denying that temporarily pausing the 3D printing process is a crucial tool that can become necessary at any given moment. In this guide, we will walk you through the…

We can consider bed leveling compensation to be one of the most vital features of Marlin Firmware for a successful print, as an imperfect print bed that’s not compensated for, whether due to incorrect tramming or warping, will practically make it impossible to print a high-quality first layer without problems. In this guide, we will…

Understanding how Marlin firmware makes use of the RAM and EEPROM of your 3D printer to store the configuration can be confusing at first, which, as a result, makes it challenging to ensure that your 3D printer will start the next print with the correct configuration. In this guide, we will explain the functionality of…

After you set up your Ender 3 for the first time, you will quickly find out that there are a lot of different commands you can run by using the panel. That being said, finding out exactly what each command does can be a challenge, as there aren’t any descriptions in place. In this guide…

Even though using the LCD controller of your Ender 3 and an SD card is the most common way of starting prints and modifying configuration, utilizing the USB port to connect your Ender 3 to your PC and using your PC to perform these tasks instead is usually much more convenient in comparison. In this…

While using an SD card to transfer G-code files from your computer to your Ender 3 is usually a straightforward process, an improperly formatted SD card can prevent your 3D printer from detecting the SD card correctly and make it impossible to start the print. In this guide, we have prepared detailed instructions that will…

While you may think that printing a simple object such as a sphere should be straightforward with a 3D printer, a sphere is one of the hardest things to get right in the world of 3D printing. In fact, the correct methodology for 3D printing a perfect sphere is one of the most asked things…
