PRINT SETTINGS

IMPORTANT I upload a print setting files for all my models. The print settings has the parts positioned for correct printing.

I strongly recommended you use my print setting file. If not, I will not be able to assist you if there is an issue when printing. From experience, many of the issues with printing my models are on account of users not using my print settings.

CHANGELOG

If there are any changes to the STL files or print settings I will list them here. I recommend looking at this section prior to printing as it is the only way I can inform users of changes.

3D PRINT SETTINGS

I use the following settings and materials to print this model:

Infill % : 15% (no need for more)

Nozzle diameter: 0.4 mm

Layer height: 0.2 mm standard

Material: PLA or PETG. If you plan on using a dryer on the shelves then PETG is suggested as PLA may deform

ASSEMBLY AND INSTRUCTIONS

A detailed instruction and assembly guide with steps and pictures is available for download with the model files.

TROUBLESHOOTING

All parts and the assembly have been tested multiple times (both printing and assembly).

• Make sure your build properly cleaned and free of grease and oils before printing. This is the cause of adhesion.

• Make sure you use my print profiles/settings (the .3mf file that has multiple plates with all the parts) and that you enable support as indicated for each build plate on the build plate description.

• Filament and printer will affect tolerances however all should fit. If unsure proceed slowly and cautiously.

• If there are any changes I list them in a changelog on the model page. Please have a look at it prior to printing in the event there are any changes.

I am available to assist with any issues with this model.
