Device Choice
6. Further considerations

Device Choice
7. • Too much research (conflicting reviews)
• 3D Printers are not plug & play
• A single choice technology will not fulfil all of your
requirements (70% is fantastic)
• It is the end of the journey (CAD is the real learning tool)
• Use it as part of your toolkit
• Do not 3D Print everything (Flat pieces)
Device Choice
9. Generic
• I have a machine and do not know how to use it
• My technician has left the department
• The pupils can not use the unit due to
consumables cost
• I can not justify getting another unit, the one
initially purchased has not been used due to costs
• The unit is faulty and do not know where to get it
repaired
• I was advised incorrectly and the 3D printer does
not do what we need
Trouble Shooting
