For those who are intrested.

Step 1 : Ensure that your print sticks to the bed. Some resources you can use are tape, hairspray and glue sticks

Step 2 : Heat up your new printer and load your choice of material

Step 3 : Level your bed / (build) plate. Bed leveling is a tricky process and it can be time-consuming and very frustrating.

Step 4 : Save your favorite design and save a .gcode file for your 3D printer so it will be able to recognize it.

The 3D printer builds up a 3D model one layer at a time, from the bottom upward. This is done by repeatedly printing over the same area in a method known as fused depositional modeling.

 

Working everything automatically, the printer creates a model over a period of hours by turning a 3D drawing into lots of two-dimensional (2D) layers witch separate 2D prints that sit one on top of another

 

Instead of using ink, which would never build up to much volume, the printer deposits layers of special molten plastic and fuses them together with ultraviolet light.

3D Printer

A 3D printer is a special purpose output device that can create a three dimensional physical object from a digital model on a computer.

A 3D printer essentially works by placing molten plastic (special kind of plastic) through a tiny nozzle that it moves around precisely under the control of a computer. It prints one layer, waits for it to dry, and then prints the next layer on top.
