This blog is dedicated to non-kit 3D printers. So, why am I pointing you to a site called 3D Printer Plans? The name sounds like they are deeply entrenched in the "build experience" but they cover a LOT more than that.
Because of the technical nature of 3D printing, it can
be difficult to know how to get started. And, though there is a lot of information out there on the Internet about 3D
printing, little is aimed at the first-time printer user.
To help make 3D printing easier to understand - and help you
create your first print in less time - the team at 3D Printer Plans have put
together a free beginner’s
guide to 3D printing. If you’re interested in learning the “how”
of 3D printing, then this is an ideal resource for you.
At just over 14,000 words long, the guide is comprehensive enough
to teach you everything you need to know to get started, but refreshingly free
of complicated jargon and highly-technical explanations.
From the history of 3D printing, to picking your first printer,
through to essential software and maintenance procedures, you’ll
learn the important things you need to know in order to get started.
By reading 3D Printer Plans’
beginner’s guide, you’ll give yourself an
ideal foundation of knowledge to help you make the most of your new hobby or business.
