“Boat”, or “print”?

Years ago my brother gifted me the then current model of Ender Pro. A great 3D hobby printer. I tackled it like I did most of my electronics projects—with full ignorance. So it’s with this memory in mind i say this is a nicely organized and illustrated article. I appreciate the content.

> “dry your filament”

Like with paper towels?? WTF person is sending “wet” filament into their printer? (pizza printer! Haha.) This sounds stupid or is this something very unintuitive regarding humidity? This needs more discussion.

To dry the filaments, you put them in a electric oven at something like ~40°C (~100°F) for a few hour. The details depend on the material and other details I'm totally unaware, so read the instructions and don't thrust my uninformed comment.

Actually a pretty good walk through of common issues! Most impressed with the intentional reproductions for the photos.

You're kidding, aren't you?

Another Prompt-to-Publish cookie-cutter “article” that is draining to look at. This is slop.

A 3D Benchy is more than just a cute little boat — it is one of the best test prints for finding problems in your 3D printer settings.

In this guide, I explain 13 common Benchy print defects, including stringing, over-extrusion, under-extrusion, warping, layer shifting, poor bridging, elephant’s foot, dimensional errors, and surface roughness.

Each problem includes what it looks like, the possible cause, and simple ways to fix it.
