3D Model: The 3D Benchy is an ideal first print for your 3D printer it offers a calibration test and is a fun model in a single print.

Filament: PLA is one of the most commonly used materials on the Ender 3, and in this article we’ll be using Begonova branded material.

If you need to choose, see our list of best 3D printers. However, other filament-based (aka FDM) printers should work similarly.

3D Printer: We’re using the Creality Ender 3 Pro, a solid entry-level 3D printer.

If you’re never 3D printed before, this is a great way to get started. The big advantage of SLS is that no support material is needed in order for the print to be created, as the remainder of material around the print supports the print itself.Below, we’ll show you how to print a typical STL file on a typical FDM printer, though no matter what device you use, the basic steps should be similar. After this, the entire process starts again, creating the model in slices and fusing it together as the process progresses. Due to the relative cold temperature, this layer cools down its underlying layer in the process.

After a layer of the model, or ‘slice’, has been completed, a new layer of the powder is added on top of the powder bed.

When the laser crosses the bed, it tips the temperature of the material just over the melting point, causing the powder to fuse together. The material is brought up close to its melting point by a radiant heat source, prior to the laser crossing over the bed of material. The model is built up out of layers of powder, which is placed in the printer. This technology uses a high powered laser to fuse powder made up of plastic, metal, ceramic or glass granulate to create the model. Another commonly known technology cures layers of liquid material to build a model, this is known as SLA (Stereolithography). SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) and FDM (Fusion Deposition Modelling) are the most common technologies using melting or softening materials in order to allow for the layers to be built up. Differences between technologies are mainly in the way layers are added together in order to create the model. Not every printer used the same technology to construct its prints, several ways of building a print exist and all of those technologies as of 2012 are additive.

To prepare the design for printing, software creates these slices, which allow the printers to create the object layer by layer. These layers (slices), used to build the object, are thinly sliced horizontal cross-sections of the object. In additive manufacturing processes, subsequent layers of material are created to create a structure, resulting in a 3-dimensional object. These 3-dimensional designs can be turned into physical models using a series of techniques called additive manufacturing. Virtual designs are created using CAD (Computer Aided Design) software. A 3D print starts off as a virtual design of the object to be printed.
