Not that you asked, but here it is any way! The 3D printing essentials.

Epoxy is THE strongest bond you can use for 3D prints! A lot of people would argue that a 3D pen would work just as well but I would politely disagree. Although I do have a 3D pen, I have had way more success with epoxy.

Plastic wood is basically what you would expect. it covers any layer lines and imperfections that could happen during prints, such as seam lines or skipped layers. It cuts out so much time sanding the actual print, when you could just apply this and sand the plastic wood instead.

Then we have the spatula and brush. I use hairspray to adhere my prints to my glass bed. It sounds strange but there have been times where I have to use both hands and a foot to pry my prints off! (Go Aquanet!!!) And the spatula can save some energy. The brush is for the nozzle to knock off any extra squirts of filament or any substances stuck on the extruder.

Why did I post this you ask? Because my printer is still being a hassle and not printing correctly so here we are.
