3D Printing Checklist

This is not a regular checklist, it’s more like a table of settings that will increase the probability of a successful print.

It is not focused on quality, speed, or weight.

It’s focused on getting a successful print, consistently.

Yes, it’s worth it. Whatever you think you’re wasting on the brim, you’re saving on failed prints.

It’s better to waste machine time than human time and frustration dealing with failed tall prints. Be patient, and take it slow. If the print is good, you’ll use it for a while, so what if it takes an extra hour or two? You’ll probably lose it if you don’t print it slowly anyway…
