Good prints start with the basics.
Know your material. Prepare your printer. Understand what each layer needs.
Start with the three rulesHow we teach
Our three cardinal rules.
We come back to these in every class and at the printer.
RULE 01
Right material. Right condition. Right temperature.
Match the material to the job, keep it ready to print, and use its recommended settings.
Explore this ruleRULE 02
Start with a clean and level build plate.
The first layer needs a clean surface, a seated plate and the right nozzle-to-plate relationship.

You cannot print over air.
Give each new layer something to build on. Think about orientation before adding supports.
