Editorial Reviews

Review

"3D printers are incredibly powerful, but they're finicky and tend to break. You absolutely will need to know what to do, and this book will tell you." - Kerry Stevenson of Fabbaloo

"The title of this book doesn't do it justice. It's more; 'Everything you wanted to know about 3D Printing and more!'. Great book!!" - Chuck Hellebuyck (FilamentFriday.com)

"There's a lack of up-to-date and comprehensive manuals for desktop 3D printing. This has left users to cobble together advice from a variety of sources all over the Internet, much of it of questionable accuracy. Sean Aranda is well known and respected in the 3D printing community, and I would consider his book '3D Printing Failures' a definitive troubleshooting manual for users of all skill levels." - Naomi Wu

From the Author

The photos should be much clearer in this 2022 edition since they are all in color.  If you have any issues though, feel free to email me at Sean@3DPrintGeneral.com with your proof of purchase and I will be sure to send over a full color PDF!
