3D printing without prior knowledge: 7 days to your first 3D print (Become an Engineer Without Prior Knowledge)

Helped me to understand and grasp the beginning of 3d printers and 3d printing.

Very good introduction in to 3D printing.

Very well written and gives a great starting point for 3D printing.

The information in that ‘magazine of a book’ could be summarized in less than five pages.Utterly useless.

.de is not a legit address. The author’s email address is invalid (according to my email app) Anyhow - I need to understand what software to use + some instruction… hopefully this book will tell me - even tho we got off to a bad start

SO So information, very limited use

Book seems like it would be useful. But missing pages 33-72

perfect

I bought this as I had no knowledge at all about 3D printing, apart from the basic technical principles of how they work. I found this very useful indeed, giving enough of the background information, plus details on filament types and problems that can be encountered to get me going.I did find references to some recommended printer models a bit out of date of course, as I suspect this is an area where new models are being introduced every few months and no book will be up do date in that respect.This still gave me some good ideas on what to look for, and although I'll probably buy one more intro book before taking the plunge, this was a good start and recommended reading for anyone intending to start printing for themselves.

This book gives a good introduction, it covers a wide array of topics of 3D printing. It is written for people who want to dive into this subject. This book is perfect for newbies who want to know everything about the 3D printer and its unique, mindblowing functions.

I had recently purchased 3 books from this series (Arduino, Python, and 3D Printing). I bought them because I plan to send kid to the STEM camp, and those are on the program description. So I thought having some background study wont hurt, for both kid and myself. All 3 books have the right amount of information for the beginner, the scope and the depth of the knowledge are just right, things are explained clearly yet concisely, easy to understand, and I enjoyed reading them. The author is friendly and sent me the free PDF eBooks quickly upon my request. For 3D printing book, the PDF has a much clearer color pictures of the screen captures of the control app UI, so don't be shy to ask for it (email is in the book). The author, Ben, is willing to answer questions raised from the reading, so that is plus.

Clear and concise intro to 3d printing, key principles, market overview (available printer types) and choice of entry level printers available, core components, material guide and troubleshooting. Everything you need to get a working print.Although there are many online guides and tutorials this is a great supplement and I'd recommend reading it before investing in a printer.I bought a Prusa i3 MK3S+ printer and learned a lot about the printer during assembly, this book clarified and consolidated my understanding of the printer and principles more generally in the first couple of weeks of printing.The only downside is that the print version has low res black and white images, while the text refers to colour coding. This is remedied as the author offers a pdf version of the book on request following purchase.
