Printing profiles for 3D printers

Why are print profiles important?

In 3D printing there are several factors that depend on the user, and among them are the print profiles it uses. This is usually done using Ultimaker CURA Slicer or Simplify3D software that allows the user to modify different parameters (temperature, speed, shapes, etc).

Therefore, before you start and press the print button, you must make sure that your STL files and print profiles are correct, and to your liking.

What to consider in a print profile

When we talk about 3D printing, we also talk about materials, printer types, flows, temperature and speed, as well as many other definitions. This is because the way 3D objects are created is based on near-perfect constructions and on the geometry. 

Among the factors to be taken into account, we find:

1. The part or object: we must take into account the plan and geometry of the part we want to print.
2. The material with which we are going to work, since, for example, with our TPU filaments will be very easy and with quality results.
3. Keep an eye on temperature, humidity and possible currents to avoid clogging or damage.
4. The size of our nozzle or mouthpiece is also important when choosing speed.
