So much more than the title promised! THE best 3D printing book I’ve found, by a wide margin.
The title of this book doesn’t begin to do it justice. This book is 334 pages and diagnosing print failures doesn’t even start until page 124… The preceding pages contain a wealth of information about 3D printers. From using what you’ve got, making adjustments, recommended tools, upgrades, and a lot of tips to just run your printer and get better prints. I had originally planned to read the book up to where troubleshooting failures began, then skim the rest so I’d know where to go look if and when I had failures. I now recommend reading the book straight through – then keeping it as a handy reference. There is so much good preventative maintenance and just general knowledge embedded in the troubleshooting section that it’s well worth reading. Particularly the section on slicer configurations.The book is *almost* exclusively about FDM/FFM printers (those that melt and extrude plastic), but there is a chapter devoted to resin printing. I wouldn’t recommend the book for someone working exclusively with resin, but the resin chapter was welcome, because if you’re printing with one technology you’re probably eyeballing the other.The book is thoroughly illustrated with many photos as you would hope for a book of this nature. What’s more, if you send proof of purchase to the author (details in the book) he’ll send you a digital copy with high resolution photos you can really zoom in on.This book is absolutely the most helpful book on 3D printing (FDM/FFM) that I have discovered. It is not the best for those who know nothing about 3D printing and have not yet made a print. Some knowledge of the basics is presupposed. Still, if you get a printer you will ultimately want this book.Highly recommended!

Must have if you 3D print
This is a very thorough and complete guide to 3d printing. Covering every problem that can happen with pictures and solutions to those problems and why they happen. Reading this book as a first time printer will save you from lots of trial and error. A must have book it you are into 3D2A!
