Question

fff: 3d file checklist
use the information below to answer the question.
before you print your project, go through the following checklist:

1. is it the right file type? stl or obj are common types. make sure you have the

right extension on the file.

1. where is it going to be in the print bed? it could be in the corner of the xy axis at

the 0,0 point. it could also be in the center \home position,\ which offers the best
opportunity for not having the piece over the build volume.

1. is the print \watertight\? if so, there should not be any holes.
2. do you have the appropriate material? use what you feel is best for the project.

with sla, sls, or dlp printing, there will be material within the print. you want to
have an exhaust port or drain hole for the material to get out. also, having two
holes is better than one to help equalize pressure.

1. when going from one software to another, there may be differences in units, such

as going from english to metric. checking the units is important.

1. double - check the embossing and engraving detail.
2. check the tolerances for pieces that have moving parts. the rule of thumb is.25

mm.

1. have a separate folder for each project, and have a way of putting a date on it.
2. keep your eyes on the orientation of the print bed. what will have the best

surface finish? what will use the least amount of support structure?
in the second step of the 3d file checklist, a user should
identify where the print is going to be on what?
the print bed
the software
the nozzle
the powder

Explanation:

The second step of the 3D file checklist explicitly asks about the location of the print on the print bed, mentioning positions like the XY axis corner or center home position on the print bed.

Answer:

the print bed
