When do you need to calibrate your extruder?

This is an often overlooked aspect of 3D printer maintenance, but it can really help you get your projects to look just the way you want them. One of the things that we recommend the users of 3D printers to regularly do is to calibrate their extruders. This wastes not just your precious filament, but also the hours of printing that you’ll have to start all over again. Considering all the intricate moving parts of a 3D printer, it’s easy to imagine how a misaligned build platform or a dirty nozzle can mess up your print.

Just like any machine, your 3D printer requires regular maintenance so that it’s always in tip-top shape. 3D Insider is ad supported and earns money from clicks, commissions from sales, and other ways.
