3D Printing Preparation Checklist for FDM and SLA
by MUHAMMAD AMMAR ABDULLAH, from the Community
Prepare 3D print jobs with a clear, step by step checklist for FDM and SLA workflows. Confirm slicing profiles and infill, export files in the correct formats, and import to your printer control software. Clean and prep build plates with IPA, check filament or resin quantities, home axes and run z tilt, and verify naming conventions for traceability. The checklist references common tools like Ultimaker Cura, PrusaSlicer, Klipper, and Chitubox, and includes guidance to auto generate and fine tune supports, review layers before printing, and manage work in progress. Use this process to standardize setup, reduce failed prints, and improve quality and consistency across printers and operators.
