The pattern test is a tool to help monitor the health of print heads on Stratasys PolyJet 3D printers. This is a beginner-level test that anyone with basic user training can run and apply to the J55, J35, J5 MediJet, J5 DentaJet, or J3 DentaJet (turntable-style 3D printing). Minor details may vary (e.g., the number of print heads), but the concept is the same for all models.
The newest FDM 3D Printer from Stratasys is here: the F3300. While the basic concepts of FDM 3D printers haven't changed much in the last 35 years, the processes to implement them have. In this article, see what distinguishes this newest addition to Stratasys' FDM lineup.
3D printers are amazing machines but can sometimes require calibrations, repairs, or other maintenance. When you reach out to GoEngineer for support, one of the first items we will ask you for is the Configuration File (CFG). The Configuration File is the log file from your FDM 3D printer that will include error codes and information about what the printer was doing before an issue occurred. This file is helpful for finding the solution to the problem at hand. So, how do you get the CFG from the printer and send it to us? There are several ways, and this article will walk you through them.
