How to build a DIY 3D printer kit

When building a 3D printer from the start, there are some key factors to consider that can make all the difference. Think of how you are going to build your 3D printer and prepare a space that you will place your 3D printer in once it is assembled. Assembly time can take 3-6 hours, but this can depend on the model and experience so ensure to have sufficient time, or you could assemble your 3D printer in small phases. A DIY 3D printer kit will come with a user manual and straightforward instructions; however, feel free to use the assembly videos linked in all product descriptions as they will walk you through the entire process. A great 3D printer software that we recommend is Cura by Ultimaker or Slic3r which can both be downloaded for free.

Maintain a DIY 3D printer kit

The maintenance of your 3D printer is essential to ensure reliable 3D printing processes. Frequent maintenance will also guarantee safety and a well-performing 3D printer. Pay attention to all components of your 3D printer and inspect them individually from time to time. Perform some quick light cleaning with a dedicated microfiber cloth in between prints and check that your cables are properly connected and in good shape. Tighten any screws that could have become loose during printing. Choose a lubricant to use on both the Y-axis and X-axis for smooth movements and keep your 3D printer’s nozzle in the best shape by using a hot-end cleaning brush.
