Maker's Muse: 8 Things that RUIN 3D print accuracy (and how to fix it)

3D print accuracy can go sideways thanks to unsupported overhangs, messy support interfaces, elephant’s foot bulge and wonky bed leveling – making your models look more blob than beauty. Throw in part shrinkage, sad horizontal bores, skin-thin walls and razor-sharp internal angles, and you’ve got a recipe for dimensional disaster.

The fixes? Dial in support patterns, tweak first-layer squish, calibrate your bed leveling, adjust temps to tame shrinkage, beef up bore diameters, thicken those walls and fillet sharp corners. Nail these tweaks and watch your prints snap into perfect form.
