Beginner's Tips on Getting Started with a 3D Printer, Table Calibration and Slicer Setup
Despite the abundance of videos and articles, the information in them is scattered and it can be difficult for a novice 3D maker to understand such an abundance of facts. In fact, everything is not so difficult, at the first stages it is enough to deal with just a few important nuances.
First use
Before using the printer for the first time, it is best to read the instructions. Each printer may have its own usage and settings. Some 3D printers are able to calibrate automatically, without user intervention, and some need to be configured manually.
If there was no paper instruction in the box, you can download it from the manufacturer's website. Some manufacturers stick a sticker on the box with a link to the current version of the instructions.
Before the first run, make sure all shipping locks are removed from the 3D printer. You can gently try to move the extruder along the axes with your hands to make sure that nothing interferes with its free movement.
Table calibration
The result of the entire operation of the printer depends on the calibration of the table. It is very disappointing to see that the model, after many hours of printing, came off the surface of the table and deformed or “moved out”. In order to prevent this from happening, it is necessary to correctly set the working plane and the gap between the table and the nozzle.
In many printers, manufacturers began to add an automatic print surface calibration sensor. A special sensor measures the distance from the table to the nozzle and makes a “map” of irregularities that are taken into account when printing.
Table auto-calibration sensor
There is a semi-automatic calibration. In this case, the printer, using a sensor, determines the distance to the table and tells you in which direction to turn the adjusting screw.
Here we will look at the manual calibration of the working surface of the most popular mechanics of FDM printers - Prusa, H-BOT, CoreXY, etc.
Table leveling
First you need to level the plane of the table. To do this, using the adjusting bolts, it is necessary to set the same distance between the table and the nozzle. Anything can be used as a probe, but it is better to take the probe recommended by the manufacturer (usually 0.1mm).
Table calibration
-
Heat up the table. The 3D printer table is made of a metal plate, when heated, the metal expands, so it is better to heat the table before calibrating.
-
Tighten the calibration screws as far as possible at the bottom of the print surface. This will help prevent the work surface from colliding with the nozzle in the next step.
-
Send table and extruder to zero position. Raise the table as high as possible or lower the extruder as far as possible with Prusa kinematics. This can be done from the menu with the HOME command. Make sure that the nozzle does not “crash” into the work surface.
-
Using the menu, move the nozzle so that it is above the calibration screw.
-
Place the probe between the work surface and the nozzle, use the screw to raise or lower the work surface so that the probe is firmly clamped. Repeat this for all table gauge bolts. There may be 3 or 4 of them.
-
Move the extruder to the center of the table and use a feeler gauge to check the gap between the table and the nozzle. If the gap is the same as above the calibration bolts, then the plane is aligned correctly, if the gap is different, then it is worth repeating the calibration or checking the evenness of the printed surface.
The square test can be used to check the uniformity of the table plane calibration.
Work surface flatness test
Depending on the size of the work surface, you can place test squares in different places.
Test squares on the printed surface 30x30 cm
For this test, you need to print several thin squares (1 layer thick) on the printed surface. Depending on how they are printed, you can see if the table plane is evenly calibrated.
Table for determining the correct calibration of the table and nozzle.
Sometimes the printed surface is a bit uneven on its own and there are some small depressions or bumps in some places. If it is not possible to change the working surface or there is no time to re-calibrate, you can try to print the model on the “raft”.
The raft is a thick substrate that is printed under the model. A thicker layer of plastic adheres better to the printed surface and “smoothes out” its bumps.
3D model printed on raft
Table to nozzle gap calibration
If a feeler gauge was used to align the work plane, which matches the required gap between the table and the nozzle, then the extruder does not need to be calibrated separately. If the printer has 2 extruders, then only the second extruder needs to be calibrated.
Some 3D printers, like the Raise 3D, come from the factory with a leveled bed, but it's a good idea to check the gap between the bed and the nozzle before printing. Settings may change during shipping.
-
Using the menu, you need to send the table and extruder to the zero position (HOME).
-
Using a feeler gauge, set the distance between the working surface and the nozzle recommended by the manufacturer (usually 0.1 mm). Some manufacturers recommend calibrating the nozzle “to the table” without clearance. The distance between the nozzle and the working surface can be adjusted by the calibration screw, which is located at the z-axis limit switch, programmatically or by the extruder.
-
If the printer has 2 extruders, then the calibration must be repeated with the second extruder.
-
It is necessary to heat the extruder to the melting temperature of the plastic filament. The temperature range is usually marked on the box or spool of plastic.
-
After heating the extruder to a predetermined temperature, depress the lever that presses the filament in the feeder and push the plastic into the extruder until it starts to flow from the nozzle.
-
If necessary, fix the pressure lever so that it firmly presses the filament against the feed gear. (If the lever is not spring-loaded and does not return to its original position).
After changing the nozzle, thermal barrier, table surface or moving the printer - it is necessary to check the gap calibration between the work surface and the nozzle, and sometimes the plane of the table.
Loading filament
After setting up the print platform, you can load the filament (plastic).
In some 3D printers, the plastic loading process is automated and starts from the menu.
After loading the filament, you need to push the plastic bar a little until the remnants of the old plastic come out of the nozzle.
Setting print options
In order to get a neat and accurate model of the insufficiently good mechanics of a 3D printer, it is important to properly prepare the model using a special slicer program.
Table and nozzle temperature
Perhaps the two most important parameters are the temperature of the nozzle and the working surface. These settings may affect other slicer settings.
Slicer CURA
Table temperature settings
A heated work surface is necessary for better adhesion of plastics with a high percentage of shrinkage, otherwise the part will simply come off the printed surface during printing. But due to too high a temperature, the lower layers can soften and deform under the weight of the growing model.
Depending on the surface of the table, the recommended temperature may vary. For example, if ABS is printed on a special substrate, the recommended table temperature is 100 degrees, and if glass with stationery glue is used as the work surface, the temperature should not be raised above 80 degrees.
Some manufacturers indicate the recommended table temperature on the box or on their website. But there are general temperature ranges that you can focus on.
-
PLA - 0 - 50 degrees. During printing, the plastic must be blown.
-
ABS - 80 - 90 degrees. Drafts should be avoided during printing.
-
Nylon - 80 - 90 degrees. Drafts should be avoided during printing.
-
Flex - 80 - 90 degrees. Drafts should be avoided during printing.
Nozzle temperature settings
The required temperature range is indicated by the manufacturer on the filament spool, but it is better to print a couple of small tests to determine the ideal temperature for a given filament.
After changing the nozzle to a nozzle with a different diameter or a significant increase in printing speed, it is necessary to slightly increase the temperature of the extruder. Due to the small “melt chamber”, the plastic may not have time to warm up to the desired temperature.
There are extruders with a large volume of "melting chamber" of plastic, but they are not suitable for every 3D printer and are designed to work with large diameter nozzles.
Conventional heating block and Vulcano block with enlarged “melting chamber”
Printed tests
To configure some slicer parameters, it is convenient to use special tests, rather than setting the settings at random. Some of the tests can be printed every time you change the spool of filament. For example, plastic from the same manufacturer, but with a different dye, may have slightly different temperature settings.

Parameters to pay attention to in the finished model

Simple temperature tower
Setting the correct print temperature is one of the most important factors in obtaining a strong model with a quality surface. Many factors can affect the fusibility of a plastic - the quality of the raw material, the addition of dyes, the speed of printing, the thickness of the layer, etc.
In order to understand how plastic behaves at different temperatures, enthusiasts came up with a simple test turret that prints at different temperatures at different heights. There are several types of these tests. Some have overhanging elements and “bridges”. You can download the test here.

Turrets

Some overhanging elements can be printed without supports, the slicer even has special settings for printing such “bridges”. To find the optimal parameters, you can use this small test model.

Test All-in-one
There are printed tests - all in one, but it can be difficult for a beginner to figure out which settings need to be adjusted. Therefore, to begin with, it is better to print simple tests, and with experience, you can use universal ones.

Common errors
Poor first coat adhesion
This is usually due to incorrect print surface calibration or poor adhesion of the first layer.
First you need to check the correct gap between the table and the nozzle. If necessary, calibrate the plane of the printed surface and the gap between the working surface and the nozzle.
To increase adhesion, you can use special adhesives that are applied to the printed surface. Check the correct temperature of the extruder, table and thickness of the first layer in the slicer settings. The higher the temperature of the extruder, the better the adhesion. The first layer is usually thicker than subsequent ones, because the thicker layer of plastic adheres better to the work surface.
Printer does not extrude plastic
If the printer stops extruding plastic and the feed mechanism starts to click, then most likely the problem is a clogged nozzle. The nozzle can be burned or cleaned, but in 3D printing nozzles are consumables and it is better to replace it immediately.
Plastic bubbles when printed
If the plastic bubbles when exiting the nozzle, then it must be dried. Some engineering plastics, such as nylon, need to be dried before each print.
Model is printed with errors
The slicer cannot always process the model correctly if it has errors. For example, inverted normals, internal walls, or the model is not closed. Such models need to be “cured” before printing.
Model printed with error
Some slicers are able to fix simple errors on their own, but if the slicer is powerless, you can use special programs designed to work with STL files. For example, Autodesk Netfabb allows you to fix model flaws with the click of a couple of buttons.

Totals
Despite the fact that a 3D printer is essentially a CNC machine, manufacturers are trying to make it as easy as possible to work with it. There are many additional options that allow the novice user not to delve into the nuances of setting up and calibrating the printer, but to start printing right out of the box.
Most slicers are also simplified as much as possible for a more comfortable acquaintance with 3D printing. Universal profiles appear, in which the user only needs to specify the type of plastic and send the file for printing. And later, you can use the advanced settings menu for finer control of print settings.
How to increase (improve) the quality and speed of 3D printing at the same time. two extruders.
When choosing 3D printing settings, you always have to choose between the two poles “speed” or “quality”. As a rule, these two indicators are on different scales, but despite this, there is one way to raise both at the same time.
First, let's try to understand what are the ways to improve the quality 3 of printing on an FDM 3D printer:
1) reduce the layer height. The greater the number of layers, the more times the extruder will have to describe the perimeter of the part. In fact, there is a directly proportional relationship between layer height and 3D printing speed.
2) Reduce the speed of the extruder. At low speeds, the vibration of the structure is less, and the layers are attached to each other better.
3) reduce nozzle size. The smaller the diameter of the hole in the nozzle, the less the 3D printer extrudes plastic per unit of time. Reducing the nozzle gives the biggest increase in 3D print quality, but also significantly increases print time and fragility of the final product.
You can use at least all three methods at the same time, but the introduction of any of them will have a very noticeable effect on 3D printing time. Of course, the most effective way to improve print quality is the third one. A more precise nozzle always guarantees more precise printing.
There is a way to use different types of nozzles at the same time, and 3D printers with two extruders will help us with this. In the classical scheme of application, two extruders do not provide visible advantages in the speed of 3D printing. The problem is that both extruders are mounted on the same carriage and cannot move independently. Therefore, usually two extruders print in turn. The classic application scheme is printing in two colors. One extruder is filled with plastic of one color, and another of another. The printer alternately squeezes out one plastic, then another. As a result of plastic fusion, a homogeneous color model is obtained.
So how can two adjacent extruders help speed up 3D printing? – The answer is simple: through the use of nozzles of different diameters. But really, if you think about it, only 10% of the extruded plastic gets into the visible area of the object, the rest of the plastic is hidden inside the printed model. To test this method, we installed two different nozzles in the Malyan Desktop Metal 3D printer: 0.5 mm and 0.2 mm. Unfortunately, the slicers we are used to do not know how to separate tasks for different nozzles within the same object. Therefore, we used a third-party slicer Slic3r. In the bins of its settings, we found the function we were looking for. We chose a mode in which the stroke was printed with a 0.2 mm nozzle, and the inner space was printed with a 0.5 nozzle.
Of course, this method does not allow 100% to unleash the potential of 3D printing with different nozzles, but still allowed us to increase the print speed of our test model several times.
It would be ideal if the 3D printer also used a nozzle with a larger diameter to build the outer perimeter. Let's look at this process with an example.
Let's say you have set in the slicer that the thickness of the object's perimeter will be 0.7 mm. A nozzle with a diameter of 0.2 mm will have to make four strokes to achieve the desired thickness.
