Here at JB3D we know that 3D printing is seen as a technology only available to those with a technical background. Whilst it is true that many machines bought off the internet are today languishing in cupboards and attics because users have purchased machines that are either not suitable for the required use or because of a lack of understanding in the workflow to generate the files to produce a print. We have gone through many of these issues ourselves and understand that with a little advice and training everybody can enjoy and share in the passion to create.

It’s for this reason that we offer a one-stop starter option where we will train you on the usage and calibration of your 3D printer. We will:

– Teach you about your newly purchased printer, explain what all the parts do

– Show you how to calibrate your printer to get the best results

– Explain some of the more common maintenance requirements

– Help you download the software you need create files and ‘slice’ them

– Go through where to find 3D printable models (either free or premium ones), how to convert those files into language that your 3D printer understands, and some of the basic settings in Ultimaker Cura in order to optimize your prints, should that be for strength or speed

We are not an internet “drop shipping” company. We differentiate ourselves in guiding customers and providing a value-added service. Whether it be just advising on the right type of machine; unboxing, setup, and calibration of the machine in our workshop prior to using it at home or office; or following a workshop on understanding the workflow in preparing the files for the 3D printer to work. We can help!
