Picking the Right File & Setting Up Slicer Settings

Once you’ve got your 3D printer, the first step is picking the right Glock file. Most files will come with specific instructions about the slicer settings you’ll need, so be sure to follow those closely. These settings are key to getting a clean print, and they’ll often include recommendations for layer height, infill percentage, print speed, and supports.

Universal Slicer Settings: While each file might vary, there are a few settings that tend to work well across the board:

Prepping the Printer Bed

For the best results, it’s crucial to clean your printer bed before you start printing. Use rubbing alcohol and a lint-free cloth to wipe it down, ensuring that your first layer sticks properly and the print doesn’t fail midway through. Proper bed adhesion is key to a successful print.

You’re Almost There!

After the print is done, carefully remove the supports.

This is an essential step for ensuring that everything fits together smoothly.

Now that the printing is finished, it's time to gather the tools and parts needed for assembly.
