1.3 Good 3D Printing Practices

Please refer to these steps during every print to ensure the best quality.

Before Printing

1.  Ensure your GCODE file is correctly setup, filament diameter is set to 1.75mm and correct 

temperature settings for the material you are using (refer to table 3.3.1, page 24)

2.  Check all cables and connectors are connected

3.  Check that the Heated Print Bed is level and approximately 0.1mm from the nozzle

4.  Check that the Heated Print Bed is clean, dust free and the nozzle does not have excess 

material  

stuck to it

During Printing

1.  Closely monitor the first layer being printed – Most problems will occur in the first layer. If 

problems occur, stop the 3D Printer Touch at the power outlet

2.  Do not leave the 3D Printer Touch unattended while in operation

3.  Keep hands clear while machine is operating

After Printing

1.  Wait for the Heated Print Bed and Extruder to cool down

2.  Carefully remove 3D Object using the supplied Scraper. Never use Scraper towards your body. 

Keep Scraper evenly flat when scraping to avoid damage to the Heated Print Bed. Damaged 

Heated Print Bed will affect adhesion for future prints

3.  Store 3D Printer Touch in a clean, dry environment
