Review: The book you did not think you needed. - I discovered the book by chance after Googling some issues with a printout. The description of the book gave me the impression that they had compiled a list of examples and what could cause different types of errors in the printouts. Most things can be found on the Internet by searching a bit but having a physical book is still preferable when it comes to encyclopedias. The first impression was good so I ordered the book which was delivered in a short time. This is a structured and well-written book that helps you understand what can affect the quality of your printouts. I believe that the book is as good for beginners as more experienced in 3d printing. The main part of the book gives you a systematic description of mechanical / technical details that may affect your printouts. It explains the properties and basic settings for various types of plastics. The rest of the book can be defined as a reference work. Do you have a print that has failed or is not as good as it used to be? Then you use the book's encyclopedia with pictures to find an in-depth answer to what you need to look for and possibly adjust. On request, you get access to high-quality photos from the book. The book explains briefly and precisely what a slicer does. It goes into depth on some settings that are affected by the dimension of the nozzle you use. Print time vs. quality and / or strength. You also get a few specific tips to provide better support for eg high / thin prints with custom support. You can, for example, set two different infill values ​​on one and the same object. Or print two objects at the same time but with different infill. The book covers the minimum of what you need to know about a slicer. It is Cura that is described but you can use this on almost all slicers. The book covers the entire spectrum with challenges such as mechanical wear, vibrations, lack of cleaning / maintenance, the importance of the right temperatures and the right use of slicers. A book that should come with all printers.
Review: So much more than the title promised! THE best 3D printing book I've found, by a wide margin. - The title of this book doesn't begin to do it justice. This book is 334 pages and diagnosing print failures doesn't even start until page 124... The preceding pages contain a wealth of information about 3D printers. From using what you've got, making adjustments, recommended tools, upgrades, and a lot of tips to just run your printer and get better prints. I had originally planned to read the book up to where troubleshooting failures began, then skim the rest so I'd know where to go look if and when I had failures. I now recommend reading the book straight through - then keeping it as a handy reference. There is so much good preventative maintenance and just general knowledge embedded in the troubleshooting section that it's well worth reading. Particularly the section on slicer configurations. The book is *almost* exclusively about FDM/FFM printers (those that melt and extrude plastic), but there is a chapter devoted to resin printing. I wouldn't recommend the book for someone working exclusively with resin, but the resin chapter was welcome, because if you're printing with one technology you're probably eyeballing the other. The book is thoroughly illustrated with many photos as you would hope for a book of this nature. What's more, if you send proof of purchase to the author (details in the book) he'll send you a digital copy with high resolution photos you can really zoom in on. This book is absolutely the most helpful book on 3D printing (FDM/FFM) that I have discovered. It is not the best for those who know nothing about 3D printing and have not yet made a print. Some knowledge of the basics is presupposed. Still, if you get a printer you will ultimately want this book. Highly recommended!
