3D Printing Tips for Best Results
Follow these tips to ensure strong and reliable prints.
Repair the Model If Prompted
If your slicer asks to repair the model, allow it to do so. This helps ensure watertight geometry and reliable prints.
Use Random Seams for Cleaner Surfaces
For smoother outer surfaces, set the seam position in your slicer to random to reduce visible seam lines.
Increase Wall Thickness for Strength
If your shelf will hold heavier items, consider increasing wall thickness or using higher infill for added durability.
Test Smaller Versions First
When designing larger shelves, it can be helpful to print a smaller version first to confirm proportions and mounting options.
