The book is written in a casual, conversational style. It is easily accessible to those who have no prior knowledge in 3D printing, yet the book’s message is solidly practical, technically accurate, and consumer-relevant. The chapters include contemporary, real-life learning exercises and insights for how to buy, use and maintain 3D printers. It also covers free 3D modeling software, as well as 3D printing services for those who don’t want to immediately invest in the purchase of a 3D printer. Particular focus is placed on free and paid resources, the various choices available in 3D printing, and tutorials and troubleshooting guides.

Prevents most common mistakes
Learning about 3D printing

Lots of information packed into a small place
I found it a bit confusing ,maybe because the two technologies are quite different and since I have both a resin printer and a filament printer I was mixing things up but if you work or play in a single discipline this book covers a lot of ground for its size!

This is the true 3-D printers book for dummies(Beginners).
I purchased 3 different books on 3-D printing because itâs something new to me and I wanted to educate myself as much as possible. I originally purchased the dummy series for 3D printing and itâs not nearly as good as this book is. It goes over a lot of subjects that beginners will be interested in, and it goes over trouble shooting if and when youâll run into issues. There is one other great book I picked up by the 3D print general, this one and that one are 2 excellent books, but to be fair, this review is about this particular book and it is a 5 star book imo.

Not what expected
This book is for beginners but I bought the 2nd book to skip all the this and that about 3d printing do not buy this book if you need actual help using and calibrating the printers slicers setting. This book is for some one who wants to know what 3d printing is a lot of gibber jabber and not actual help

Bought a few 3D printing books – this one was the best
This book doesn’t spend a lot of time on explaining what 3D printing is, it just gets right in to telling you what you need to know to start printing. Does a good job of covering hardware and software.

For the complete beginner
I’m not entirely sure how to rate this book. It’s certainly not what I was hoping. I have been exposed to 3D printing quite a bit, but wanted to get started on the right track. This book is very, very, basic and most subjects are covered very superficially. It might be just the ticket for someone who hasn’t seen a 3D printer and doesn’t know the basic parts or process, but there’s very little information that I’ll actually use. Things I was hoping to read more about are slicer settings, support material, infill, etc. These things are mentioned, but not discussed in a ‘how to’ fashion. Mostly just a lot of admonitions to follow your printer maker’s recommendations.If you don’t know the first thing about 3D printing and are just looking for something to explain the various bits and pieces as well as terminology, this book might be what you need. If you’ve got a 3D printer and are looking to improve your results, this probably isn’t going to be very valuable to you.

Good resource
Easy to read

Not good source of beginners information
I was very disappointed in this book. I purchased it because I just bought a k1 Max for first 3D printer. So I wanted to read a book that would Give me the fundamentals. This book did not give me that information. It doesnât contain any information concerning G-Code. Nothing about fixing a failed print, or other basic issues we might find our selves in as a new Maker.It was more of an informational packet. Something I would read prior to actually making a purchase. Of you have a printer already. This book will disappoint you.Watch YouTube instead. They need to get in touch with new users and survey the challenges we have.

Not all sections will be relevant to all people. Plus a lot has happened in the two years since being published. A good all round introduction to 3D printing.

I got this book for my daughter along with her new 3D printer. It is a great introduction to 3D printing.
