Prevent Failed 3D Prints With Proper Filament
Planning & Measurements Guide
How much filament do you need
before your 3D printing run? Well,
the simple answer is… it depends.
There are so many things that
can impact this – from the size
of your project to unpredictable
errors that can cause the
model to fail.
The best thing you can do
is to prepare for all
scenarios. With this guide
from Functionalize, you
can better understand
everything that goes into
preparing your print run!
The guide advises
using a filament
calculator to
determine geometric
volume and think
through conversions
to get an estimated
weight.
A second option listed in
the guide is to estimate
filament use with a slicer.
Slicing software converts
3D models into clear
printer instructions.
You’ll get answers to
common FAQs, and
learn what to do with
excess filament so you
can get the most out of
your printing process.
The 3D printing space is
booming – and if you want to
get involved, Functionalize is
a leading online resource.
