Guides

• Auto bed levelling and calibration explained
  Why the first layer decides most beginner print failures, what automatic levelling actually measures, and how vibration and flow calibration differ from it.
• Bed-slinger vs CoreXY: what a printer’s motion system means for you
  Why some printers throw the build plate back and forth while others lower it gently, what that does to speed, print quality and desk space, and which suits a first printer.
• Enclosed vs open-frame 3D printers: do you need an enclosure?
  An enclosure matters enormously for ABS and ASA and barely at all for PLA. What a printer box really does for warping, fumes, noise and safety, and when an open frame is the better choice.
• FDM vs resin: which type of 3D printer should a beginner buy?
  Filament printers make tough, practical parts; resin printers make astonishing detail and a lot of mess. What each is genuinely good at, what living with resin involves, and how to choose.
