Buyer Guide 3D Printer Parts & Accessories
If you’re asking yourself, “What can I buy with a 3D printer?”, this guide is for you.- Filaments. 3D printers require filament, which is a material that’s melted and extruded through a heated nozzle. Filaments come in many colors, and you can choose transparent, opaque, or metallic filaments.
- Tools. You definitely need a printer filament scraper, filament removal tool, and nozzle cleaning brushes.
- Studio furniture. A 3D printer desk is highly recommended, as it will allow you to have a proper surface to print on. You can also buy other furniture, including chairs, tables, shelves, and storage units.
- Software. Make sure your printer is compatible with the software you want to download. This will allow you to print 3D models from the comfort of your home or office.
- Documents. You’ll need a 3D modeling program that can create a 3D model of whatever you’d like to create.
- Other accessories. Buy a 3D printer enclosure, a 3D printer stand, and acrylic sheets.
How to choose 3D Printer Parts & Accessories
When shopping for your next 3D printer, it’s important to consider accessories that you might want to purchase.- Filament spool: Filament spools are made for feeding filament into the extruder through a Bowden extruder. You can buy different sizes for different types of printers.
- Heated bed: Heated beds heat up a plate above the printing surface, creating a more stable surface for prints and keeping the plastic from warping. You can buy a DIY bed or a heated bed from a company like Ultimaker.
- Filament holder: Filament holders are made to hold filament securely in place. Buying a filament holder is a good option if you plan to make custom filament spools.
- Extruder: Extruders are made to melt and harden the plastic. When buying an extruder, consider which one will work best for your 3D printer.
- Nozzle: Nozzles are used to print with different thermoplastic materials. They control the amount of plastic that comes out and can be connected through a Bowden extruder.
- Build plate: Build plates are heated beds that hold the plastic while the printer prints.
- Bed leveling system: Bed leveling systems help the printer (or the Ultimaker 3 Extended) adjust the height of the bed so that it prints level.
- Nozzle heater: Nozzle heaters are used to melt filament in the extruder.
- Print bed heater: Print bed heaters warm up the printing surface.
- Fan: Fans are used to keeping the plastic cool as it prints.
- Cooling fan: Cooling fans are needed to keep the plastic cool as it prints.
How to maintain 3D Printer Parts & Accessories
3D Printer accessories are multifarious and come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and functions. These accessories can be very expensive, and its important to keep them clean, well-maintained, and in good working order. Here are some tips for maintaining 3D Printer accessories.- If your 3D Printer isnt operating properly, its possible that one of the accessories (e.g. a filament spool) has become damaged or clogged.
- The nozzles inside your 3D Printer can get clogged over time. If your 3D Printer is short of a filament spool, you may want to clean the nozzles with compressed air or a specialized nozzle cleaner.
- Filament spools can get jammed, too. To release a filament spool thats become jammed, first remove the filament from the spool and unwind it. Then, gently pull the filament up through the spool.
- Check that any filament spool youre using isnt overfilled. If it isnt, the spool wont break or break unevenly when you remove it.
- Unplug the 3D Printer before cleaning it, as moisture can cause corrosion or rust.
- Use a lint-free cloth to wipe away dust and debris from any exposed circuit boards.
- Air dry the 3D Printer after cleaning it.
- If the 3D Printer is dusty, place a damp cloth on the printers exterior and spray it with a non-abrasive cleaning solution.
- If the 3D Printer is dirty, spray it with a non-abrasive cleaning solution, then use a soft brush to scrub off any dirt or debris.
- Wipe the 3D Printer down with a dry cloth after cleaning it.
