3D Printing Tips for Best Results
Follow these tips to ensure clean prints, good lid fit, and strong containers.
Repair the Model If Prompted
If your slicer asks to repair the model, allow it to do so. This ensures watertight geometry and improves print reliability.
Use Random Seams for a Cleaner Appearance
To reduce visible seam lines along curved or angled letter shapes, set the seam position in your slicer to random.
Choose Appropriate Wall Thickness
Thicker walls improve durability, especially for larger letters or containers that will be frequently opened.
Print Parts Separately for Multi-Color Designs
If using a lid or printing in multiple colors, consider splitting the container and lid into separate parts using your slicer’s split to parts feature.
Test Lid Fit First
For critical prints, consider printing a small test container to confirm lid fit and tolerances before printing the final size.
