Tips

• Model requires close tolerances to ensure snug but not tight or loose fit
  • Make sure the model cools to room temperature before assembly
  • Ensure filament is properly calibrated with no excessive over extrusion
• Ensure good bed adhesion
  • Make sure printer is fully calibrated
  • Make sure print bed is clean & dry (soapy water is my favorite for cleaning - simple & works)
  • Make sure filament is dry (wet filament can generate non-continuous flow that can cause bed adhesion issues)
  • Cooling & Temps - make sure they are correct for your printer, build plate, and filament
