Description

With this 3D printing book, you can develop a solid basic knowledge on the topic of FDM 3D printing and learn step by step everything you need to know to prepare and 3D print objects. The author of the book is an enthusiastic 3D printing user and engineer (M.Eng.) and will guide you professionally from the basics to advanced settings. After a short introduction to the basic concepts of 3D printing and a guide to buying a 3D printer, both the use of a 3D printer and the required software (free software) are explained in a very hands-on way. The free slicing program Cura is used as the slicing software and its use is explained in detail. Numerous illustrations support the explanations of the book and thus create a clear and simple introduction to the topic of 3D printing. The entire process from the 3D model file to the finished printed object is explained using sample models (downloadable for free). Take a look inside and get your copy!

  • Best beginner description I have seen
Not only a good beginner book but also good for anyone who wants to understand what 3D printing is, and how it is accomplished. The parts of a printer and what they do is all gone over. You'll get good info to add to whatever knowledge you have for selecting a printer.

  • Good for some quick information
This was an informative little book just not what I was expecting.

  • Learned a lot of things I did not know
This is not a very large book, but it does contain a lot of useful basic information. I learned quite a bit about 3D printers, preparing the printer files, and basic setup. Your mileage may vary, however, depending on how much you already know about 3D printing before you begin reading: it could be elementaary for some and advanced for others. ... show more

  • Good as far as it goes, but not in any way an ultimate guide
This is a short pamphlet that provides a fair introduction to 3D printing, the software available, what a 3D printer can do for you, etc. It leaves a lot of details out, and it doesn't focus on any particular 3D printer. I don't regret buying it but if you're going to start 3D printing you'll want a lot more information than is in this book. I found a great deal of information on the internet, some more helpful than others, and a lot of YouTube videos, also some more helpful than others. If you use those sources you don't really need this book. ... show more

  • Very Helpful!
Super helpful and easy to read guide. The book is smaller than I expected but it does a good job getting to the point with basics you need to know. I’m using it more like a study book, taking notes in it etc. Great for someone who is just starting out!

  • Perfect for starters. Worth every penny!
What can I say. I personally found this book to be an excellent introduction. It included really useful advise. Other books assumed you know all the basics so they don't really explain with details. Nothing was contracted or missed. Very pleased Mr. Wild.
