Bonus Material: An optimized 3D printing slicing profile for Cura is included in the appendix of the book. Save yourself time-consuming 3D printing post-processing!

This 3D printing troubleshooting compendium can help you: a) to prevent 3D printing errors, b) to improve the overall print quality of your 3D prints, c) to avoid costly 3D printing post-processing, and most importantly d) to identify and fix specific error patterns.

This troubleshooting guide contains over 40 error patterns that can occur with an FDM 3D printer. On the one hand, this book identifies the causes of unsatisfactory printing results, and on the other hand, it shows specific problem-solving steps that you can apply for successful 3D printing. Use this compact guide for comprehensive troubleshooting and improve the quality of your print results in no time.

The author of the book is an enthusiastic 3D printing user and engineer (M.Eng.) and professionally explains the tweaks that can make your errors disappear. After a brief introduction to the basic concepts of 3D printing, an analysis of the critical components of a 3D printer and a guide to print bed leveling, you will find an image directory of all the errors for easy and quick identification of the 3D printing problem you are looking for.

The slicing software used in this concept is the free slicing program Cura. Numerous illustrations support the book's explanations and make troubleshooting clear and easy.

Whether you are new to 3D printing or already an advanced 3D printing user, this book is a great reference for 3D printing troubleshooting! Forget the tedious and time-consuming search for information on possible error sources and get your copy of this book instead. With over 40 error patterns, this book will give you solid advice on how to improve your 3D printing results.

A brief snippet on the errors covered:

a) The hot end does not heat b) Clogged nozzle c) Printing does not start d) Poor print bed adhesion e) Filament issues f) Under-extrusion & Over-extrusion g) Curling h) Stringing or Oozing i) Blobs and Zits j) Pillowing k) Vibration & Ringing (Ghosting) l) Warping m) Elephant foot n) z-axis wobble o) Layer- Gaps (Layer Cracking / Separation / Splitting) p) Layer Shifting q) Missing Layers r) Scars on the print s) 3D printer knocks over parts t) Poor bridging of gaps u) Printed object cannot be removed from the print bed v) The z-seam is clearly visible w) Dimensional deviations between print and CAD model x) Problems with the infill y) General problems with the support structure z)Support structure falls off.

Thermo-Mechanical Modeling of Additive Manufacturing
<p><i>Thermo-mechanical Modeling of Additive Manufacturing</i><i> </i>provides the background, methodology and description of modeling techniques to enable the reader to perform their own accurate and reliable simulations of any additive process. Part I provides an in depth introduction to the fundamentals of additive manufacturing modeling, a description of adaptive mesh strategies, a thorough description of thermal losses and a discussion of residual stress and distortion. Part II applies the engineering fundamentals to direct energy deposition processes including laser cladding, LENS builds, large electron beam parts and an exploration of residual stress and deformation mitigation strategies. Part III concerns the thermo-mechanical modeling of powder bed processes with a description of the heat input model, classical thermo-mechanical modeling, and part scale modeling. </p> <p>The book serves as an essential reference for engineers and technicians in both industry and academia, performing both research and full-scale production. Additive manufacturing processes are revolutionizing production throughout industry. These technologies enable the cost-effective manufacture of small lot parts, rapid repair of damaged components and construction of previously impossible-to-produce geometries. However, the large thermal gradients inherent in these processes incur large residual stresses and mechanical distortion, which can push the finished component out of engineering tolerance. Costly trial-and-error methods are commonly used for failure mitigation. Finite element modeling provides a compelling alternative, allowing for the prediction of residual stresses and distortion, and thus a tool to investigate methods of failure mitigation prior to building.</p>
