Review: For folks who haven't tried to 3d print yet but want to start - BLUF: if you haven't purchased a 3d printer yet but might, this is a good intro to help. After that, skip this and all other guide books and become familiar with online forums for print guidance, tips, and learning. This book seems like a decent overview for people about to purchase their first printer and filament. I unfortunately overestimated how helpful it might be with regards to avoiding common print errors and issues. It isn't. I've been printing a few months, and there was nothing in the book I hadn't figured out already from tinkering or quick Internet search. Again, great book for those in the marketand trying to decide on which printer, type of filament, basic things like how to store and handle filament, etc. I gave it 5 stars instead of 4 because, although it promises solutions and tips to printer issues that are too basic to be very useful, it gave me one very important lesson. 3d printing is by and for tinkerers. It's really not the hobby that comes with "how to" instruction guides that are going to be super helpful. All the info is out there on the Internet in forums and such, and the community of tinkerers is all the how-to needed. Review: Just what I needed - Got a 3D printer for Christmas. Yay! Good printer, but with little documentation. I quickly discovered that there is a definite learning curve to using these things. No problem, borrowed a book from the library like ‘3D printing for people with few brain cells’ - if you can read between the lines. Not helpful at all. A friend came by and gave me a start, but it wasn’t enough. So I downloaded this book on Kindle Unlimited. Wow! This was an easy read, and specific enough to get most people off to a good start. The only thing lacking was a discussion of modifying the Z axis to improve the quality of print. If you search carefully enough, you can find that info on YouTube. Other than that, this book is terrific. Highly recommended for beginners! Have fun printing!

Just what I needed
Got a 3D printer for Christmas. Yay! Good printer, but with little documentation. I quickly discovered that there is a definite learning curve to using these things.

Terrific Introduction to 3D Printing
This book is a great introduction to 3D printing for the beginner. I received a 3D printer for Christmas and this book got me up to speed quickly. It will also serve as a reference as progress with my new hobby.

Helpful Guide
The book’s title says it best. This is a great quick start guide to introduce a newbie like me to 3D printing. The author suggests which printers are best for beginners, basic terminology, slicers, troubleshooting and resources for print files and forum-based support. The focus is on filament printers. Resin printers are not addressed.

Some useful bits, some obvious omissions.
Some useful tidbits and some obvious omissions. This 160 page book features double spaced lines through out, so 160 pages becomes 80. There is some good information on the various types of filament materials. It comes up short on the software side having some information on the slicing software but nothing about CAD. I would not expect anything but an overview on CAD but it would be nice to know what popular packages were available. Information on scanning is also missing. A listing for Sites that have downloadable files is appreciated. It will outline the most basic steps for printing an STL file once you have one. I liked this book however it is very basic.

Great Information For Beginners
I didn't have a clue where to start on 3D printing. This book is well written in a conversational style which is easy to read. I learned a lot. A nice compilation of a lot of details one needs for beginning the hobby of 3D printing. Highly recommend if you're just stating out.

Only seen pictures of one
With close to zero knowledge of 3d printing, but intrigued by the concept, I read this book for free on Kindle Unlimited. While this book left me with many questions, I would not have known to research them without it. Easy to read and for me a great starting point in deciding whether to get one, and if so what kind. Thank you Natalie
