The BritForge3D Kindle Guide
Practical 3D Printing is a plain-English Kindle guide from BritForge3D, written to help customers, makers and small businesses understand what really affects 3D printing results.
Many people think 3D printing is simply a matter of choosing a file and pressing print. In reality, good results depend on a number of practical decisions, including material choice, layer height, infill, print orientation, tolerances, surface finish and the way a part is designed.
This guide brings together the BritForge3D Knowledge Hub articles into one easy-to-read ebook.
It is designed for readers who want practical advice rather than unnecessary jargon.

Why BritForge3D created this guide
At BritForge3D, we often find that the most important part of a project is understanding what the part needs to do.
A decorative print, a prototype, a replacement part and a functional component all have different requirements.
This ebook helps explain those choices clearly, so readers can make better decisions and get better results.
