PEI, spring steel, and Garolite behave very differently with adhesion, cleaning, and release. Learn how to pick the best surface and prevent damage or warping.
If your parts are consistently too big or too small, your flow rate is often the real culprit. Learn how to measure wall thickness, print a calibration wall,
Flow issues hide in plain sight—your prints look “about right” until you measure. Learn how to spot under/over-extrusion, tune the flow/extrusion multiplier,
Dial in orientation, support contact, and interface exposure so parts stay strong during printing but release cleanly after. Learn what to adjust—and how to
Dial in your resin printer’s exposure so edges stay crisp and dimensions land where they should. Combine exposure tests with lift and timing tweaks to avoid
Stringing usually comes from hot plastic oozing while the nozzle travels. Learn how to tune retraction distance and speed, temperature, wipe/deretraction, and
TPU and TPE both bend, but they feel different in real prints. The biggest clues are Shore hardness (how “soft” it is) and how well your printer feeds flexible
When shopping for flexible filaments, one of the major things you should look out for is shore hardness. You can find this information on the
