  • Buying a 3D Printer? READ THIS FIRST!
Format: Paperback
Provided great content to understand the 3D printing process. Easy to read, instructional pictures & just a GREAT INTRO to a world you know nothing about! I ordered it BEFORE a 3D printer purchase & now feel I can make a better purchasing decision. Arrived on time, well packaged, too!

  • Not a resource for a 3D printer
Format: Paperback
I was hoping for more of a reference: how to troubleshoot, best practices, that sort of thing. This book is more of a primer for 3D printing technology in general, the history, what it can be used for, though there is a section on scratch building one, and some interesting stuff on different types of filament, but even that didn't get very technical. If you want to blow minds with trivial knowledge about 3D printing but don't need to know how to do it, this is the book for you. ... show more
