Understanding the Basics of FDM 3D Printing and How to Choose Materials

25 Tem 15:00

I'm curious about the fundamental process behind fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printers. Specifically, how does the extruder melt and deposit filament to create layers, and what factors influence print quality such as temperature, speed, and cooling? Also, I'd like to learn how to select the right filament type for different projects, like flexible versus rigid parts. Any explanations or resources would be great. How do you all approach material selection and tweaking settings?
