For the first time ever, get access to the secret “bible” I’ve used to personally guide thousands of customers to consistent 3D printing perfection - for years.

Over the past five years my team have used this secret 3D printing “bible” to help just over 1930 customers personally, one-on-one, hand-holding them to improve their 3D prints. 

Those people now get consistent results from their printer.

Whether that’s rectifying some ugly fault, improving printability, reliability, speed or strength, reducing waste or just tuning for absolute perfection on their 3D printer.

I’ve used it to assist people with printers worth $99 to multiple setup $5000+ machines.

I’ve used it to help people printing across multiple areas including:

& Many Other 3D Printing Applications

This 3D printing “bible” takes the stress away from troubleshooting & tuning your printer. It lets you accelerate your success to achieve those perfect prints that before you’d only dreamed of. 

The best bit? You can watch along as we’ve structured this 3D printing “bible” into an easy to follow video course with complementary written guides and PDFs. 

It’s a system that assumes nothing and covers everything needed, but nothing more. 

No fluff, no waffle.

Today, I want to show you exactly how I do it. 

We’ve created a complete course; a series of modules containing videos for each step of the processes we take every time we see a new printer setup, to get things running and calibrated systematically without fail.

Complete with (downloadable & printable) worksheets, checklists and a ton of bonus content never shared before.

This course covers the good, bad and ugly of achieving that perfect print. 

We’ve honed in on precisely how to navigate the most difficult elements of 3D printing.

- Where do you begin?

- How exactly should you setup your printer?

- How do you diagnose and troubleshoot prints, fast?

- How can you fine tune for outright perfection?

It’s all in there – with detailed walkthroughs taking you step by step.

Thinking about it, I have no idea how we managed to print anything half decent before we created the “bible”. 

There are just so many variables. It was like reinventing the wheel each time a new printing problem arose.

My almost endless nightmare of ever-failing, ugly prints

Even after buying my second printer, I still got awful prints. 

Not every time, they were only terrible sometimes. 

The other times they might finish OK but there’d be major imperfections. 

Or the infill spongy and weak. 

Or the base had warped. 

Or some layers were a little out. 

Or <insert one of a million problems here>.

Usually I could muddle my way through fixing a problem, some of the time. Other times my attempts to research the problem just led down a never ending rabbit warren of dead ends.

It feels like you’re the only one experiencing that problem. 

You research around and find similar problems, but because there are so many variables you know your problem is going to be slightly different to theirs, which means a slightly different remedy. 

Or those nearly-there prints. They’re the worst. The print nearly finishes right; it’s going so well for most of the time. 

Then your heart sinks as 20 minutes left on a 13 hour print it skips a layer and BANG - it looks like crap.

The truth is...

3D Printing Failures Cost You Money

A 3D printer is literally one of the most powerful tools at our disposal.

If you don't get results soon, you risk getting seriously demoralised and left with your printer sat there on your desk, collecting dust - like a glorified high-tech paperweight. 

Break the cycle and stop taking that filament you paid good money for just hours earlier and converting it to scrap plastic, every other print. 

Think about it, how much do printing failures really cost you? If just 1 in 3 fail, that might "only" be $10-$20 worth of filament a month - but how many hours have you sunk setting up and head scratching?

Hours that could have been spent earning money, with family, friends or doing whatever else you love?

It really makes you feel like you’re failing, like you’re on your own. And I bet you’ve felt the same. I know this is true, because you’re still reading this, aren’t you?

Looking back, I now understand why I felt that way. I had two problems:

I had no idea back then, that trying to learn all this stuff by myself, without a solid structure and feedback on my progress from a professional was a very hard route to take. 

Even when you’re getting some success, how do you know if your prints are as good or as strong as they can be?

Those light bulb moments someone tells you something and you just wish someone had told you years earlier.

But what do we do? We hint print and ‘hope’ for the best. We hope the print will finish OK, or if we’re feeling particularly confident we even hope it’ll finish nicely.

Contrast that with now...

Back then I used to dread starting any print, especially if it was a little more complex and even more so if it was a different material to what I was used to. 

It really sucked the fun out of things when that first layer would be underway and the anxiety would start to sink in. 

All that effort hinging on uncertainty.

Not these days.

When I set a print off now; I just load whichever perfectly tuned printing profile I need, slice, load it to the printer and click print. Then make a coffee while everything heats up.

Sure I usually just watch the first 10 seconds of the first layer, but then I’m free to do other things – checking up now and then but without any real concern.

When I get back, even after a long print – they layers are all good, the finish quality is great, there’s no warp, no stringing, it didn’t fail at any point.

I’m getting predictable results each time, and it’s fantastic.

It’s fantastic because I’m not a slave to my printer. I can do other things, like designing better models or finishing off other projects. 

I’m not struggling to reverse engineer some fault from a multitude of potential causes.

I’m not feeling frustrated because it’s an otherwise perfect print, except for this problem.

3D Printing masters know that 98% of the work is done before you even press print. And because they know they’ve done the right setup (for the right reasons) they end up with the right result, predictably.

They’re not reactively guessing, muddling through a million variables. 

They know that’s like trying to eat soup with a fork.

Everything’s a struggle because you’re doing things the wrong way round, randomly.

But they own the process which takes those variables away.

But nobody teaches us this! They give us advice like just “increase retraction”. 

Often you don’t even get any figures to get you started.

And no one tells you stringing can actually be caused by one of 6 issues, and even if someone’s told you ALL 6 possible causes (all varying in significance between materials), you’re not going to know which the culprit is without systematically working through each one while leaving the other settings the same.

That means traditionally you'd have to make 6 near identical test prints just to get your answer for that one instance.

Who has time for that?

What you need is someone who knows the path, and the pitfalls to warn you of beforehand. Someone who says “In this instance, just start with X and increase X to this.” – they’re giving it to you on a plate, without gaps. 

Without leaving you wondering, or afraid to ask for those missing pieces that don’t make sense.

How do you learn to 3D print perfectly & consistently?

I’ve been 3D printing for 6 years. My team of experts collectively have over 28 years of experience across a total of 59 different 3D printer models. 

During that time I’ve written countless guides on our rigid.ink help centre, published books and extensive PDFs. 

These materials have been read by and helped just over 1 million (1,048,322 to be pedantic) readers to date, from all around the world. 

While I’m proud of this, what’s an even greater feeling is my team personally assisting over 1900 people who directly reached out to us with a 3D printing problem and we’ve held their hand providing specific instructions until the issue was resolved. 

I'm telling you this not to brag, but to illustrate our knowledge is assisting people like you get better results with your prints. 

We’ve seen it all. We know what works and what doesn’t.

And until now, the only way to gain 28 years of 3D printing experience was to spend a lot of time (28 years?) “working it out” through trial and error. 

Picking bits up here and there, but mostly just seeing what works and what won’t. 

This is learning the hard way.  

One problem of learning from trial and error is that you first need to know what definitely didn’t cause the fault. 

I don’t recommend that, though you’re welcome to try. 

A better suggestion would be to learn from those who really know what they’re doing already. 

Here’s how most people try to achieve 3D printing mastery:

- Read up a little and ‘have a go’. 

- Become confused at the fault they’re getting or why it’s not 

   working at all.  

- Maybe watch a couple unconnected Youtube videos featuring “similar” problems.  

- Desperately ask strangers on a forum for help.

One issue is those Youtube videos are making a lot of assumptions because of so many variables. They don’t cover enough detail, they don’t offer enough troubleshooting advice.

And fundamentally the issue with troubleshooting is you’re always working backwards. When you know what you’re doing before you setup, your time spent troubleshooting drops dramatically.

The next issue is asking strangers online for help. While their responses are often well intentioned, there are two key problems to this.

Here are the problems with asking strangers

on forums for help:

It’s this lack of solid information and a clear route forward that keeps you locked in a cycle of poor results.

A GOOD way to learn is to read all of these well known 3D printing titles and take thorough notes:

Over the years I’ve read these and a ton of other 3D printing books. A lot of them are great and there’s a good deal of information in there. 

But there was a very similar problem to a lot of the other information out there. 

Things just weren’t specific or detailed enough, with the full picture, in the right order. 

Many of these books, while making excellent introductions are just too vague to provide the level of assistance required.

A BETTER way to learn: Get the correct setup procedure for your printer, so you know things are correct and get to peer over an experienced 3D printerer’s shoulder while they tune and tweak for various prints. 

Troubleshooting for reference on the fly, explaining everything as they go so you get the full methodology, in the correct order, and logical explanations with all the relevant resolutions alongside.

I could give this to you now of course, but I want to go better and quite a bit deeper than that.

Because I know the BEST way to learn is this:

- Watch the entire process of a printer being setup correctly, from start to finish, step by step & easily followed.

- Be guided not from one person who “knows quite a bit” but from a fully-fledged team of verified experts at your disposal, who’ve methodically planned out the whole process. They're not repeating some BS they heard someone else talk about.  

- Get detailed instructions for if X then do Y. Understand how everything ties in with each other. 

- Make sure the people you’re learning from have made mistakes as well as great successes and have experience across a wide selection of machines. So they can give you the warnings of what not to do, too. You want to learn from those with a varied background. 

- See how those experienced experts hit and actually respond to the problems that do arise so the same issues don’t hold you back. 

- Most importantly of all, get on-going, direct feedback from those same people to help you with your prints and suggest incremental improvements specific to you.

It's this new way that I'm so excited to share with you today.

Introducing...

Our 3D Printing Mastery Training Suite

Our promise: Become the master of your 3D printer and start getting perfect prints, 100% reliably.

Save money on failed prints. Save your time endlessly tinkering. Save your sanity.

This is our brand new training and mentorship package designed to accelerate your 3D printing results, without hassle, head scratching or frustration. 

Follow along as we show you how to correctly setup, operate and troubleshoot your way to 3D printing success.

Designed for complete beginners and up.

"Where do I even start?" - We never begin a print until the bed is truly level and these main 3 areas of the printer are correctly configured.

"What effects what?" - We strip back the common nonsense misconceptions and break down exactly which parameters directly (and indirectly) effect each other.

"How can I improve reliability?" - Discover the 4 hidden reliability killers lurking in your existing setup and how to fix them before they ruin your next print. Turn your printer into a rock solid, 100% reliable and productive tool.

"What do all these slicer settings mean?" - Unlock your printers true potential by understanding the vast arsenal of clever slicer features you didn't even know about. 

Like reducing printing time while improving part strength AND reducing material usage. It pays to really know your way around the software.

"How do I improve finish quality?" - Now you have a reliable machine, you'll get access to our formula for fine tuning the surface finish of your prints so they actually look professional and whole lot less "3D printed".

"How should I troubleshoot problems if they arise?" - While following our correct setup will pre-emptively stop 95% of the issues you'll face, you may still need to troubleshoot occasionally. 

Learn what to do and exactly how to do it, or just ask your expert mentor who will personally guide you through your specific issue. 

And those are just a couple of features. 

Inside the training suite, you'll find The Complete, Confusion-Free Guide to 3D Printing Mastery video course.

It includes 6 in depth modules, each 4-5 episodes long that include videos, PDF worksheets and checklists delivered each week to SHOW you exactly how our secret 3D printing bible works.

Here's a sneak peek inside the video course:

Here's just a taster of what you'll learn in The Institute of 3D Printing Training Suite:

Follow along, step by step as we setup the printers to be perfectly reliable and configure the settings for beautifully finished prints, and so much more.

This is not a couple of unrelated videos covering some of the information you might need. Or a book or two on 3D printing tips. 

You can find those anywhere.

We wanted to cover everything, to show you the entire process the way it should be done, in the correct order. 

Imagine how much you'll learn from following our experts explain in detail everything you need to know, while dispelling the myths. 

Here's what's covered just in the core video course:

(there's a whole lot more, but I don't want to overwhelm you). 

If you hired me and my team to come out to setup, configure and optimise your printers - that's how we'd do it.

If we sold the above modules outright as a stand alone course, we'd have to charge $497.

That's no word of a lie, and while I'm not going to charge you anything like that amount (not even half, or even close to a quarter of it...) I need you to understand the value within.

The modules above cost us $10,000's to produce. That's because at no expense spared, we built it to have maximum value to our attendees. 

But that's not all.

Also included in the Institute of 3D Printing training suite is our

Advanced Slicer Mastery Course

A combined 3 hours 52 minutes of easy to follow videos showing you how to use every feature of your slicer. Pick and choose what interests you, or become fully competent in all the features available.

At the basic levels, you'll learn:

- Full walkthrough, including deep explanations on each tab

- How to select and adjust Layers, Infill, Extruder settings, Cooling, Speeds & More

- Choosing perimeters & top & bottom layers

- Adding a new filament with settings

- Object positioning & duplication

At the more advanced levels you'll learn:

- All about Advanced mode (if your slicer has it)

- Support strategies and positioning

- How & why to use Processes (like Sequential Printing)

- & Much more

Currently covering Cura, Prusa Slicer and Simplify3D in significant levels of detail.

It’s updated periodically as new slicer features become available.

The value of these combined trainings is $297. 

You also get access to a ton of bonus content, such as new

Hyper-Detailed Masterclasses

These are delivered each month where we go deep on very specific tutorials.

This is no-theory and covers topics in a hand-holding level of detail. For example the first masterclass you'll have access to immediately after joining covers temperature towers. 

You learn why it's important to dial in a temperature tower with every new filament (material or brand) you decide to print with - even if it already looks OK we'll show you the 2 most important qualities to look for when crafting your printing profiles. 

We show you which tower STL to use (we provide a specially designed one for members) and show you exactly how to set it up ready to print, in each of the 3 slicers covered. 

Then once printed, you compare your temperature tower to ours. We explain exactly what to look for and how to tell what adjustments lead to what outcomes. 

Because you're only tuning one aspect with each tower (in this case, temperature) you can tune your printing profile very quickly. Often in just your first tower. 

But it get's better - because once you've printed yours, take a photo and let our experts guide you to fine tuning your profiles even further. This level of support takes the guesswork away and ensures you never "fall behind" not knowing where to go next. 

And this is just one example deep dive masterclass of many. 

And our members-only podcast where we interview masters of their field, mining their best tips. Perfect for those with busy lives to learn on the move or while doing other things.

And finally, I'd like you to think about the last time you were really frustrated with your printer. You just couldn't resolve the fault, or it took you hours, or even days to move past it.

Ask yourself how much you'd have paid for a fully knowledgeable 3D printer technician to lead you through each and every 3D printing issue you had, or still have? 

Fast-tracking all those hours of head scratching and frustration and just telling you exactly what you needed to do for your situation?

To have an advanced technical support specialist on hand whenever you needed them, think about how much you'd have to pay for that kind of mentorship. 

$100 for a single consultation? Perhaps $50 a time if you had a regular discount?

Well, you're also getting...

Unlimited 1-on-1 Technical Support

Personal help from an expert on standby is included any time you run into trouble, or just have a technical question - for free, as a member of the Institute of 3D Printing.

"Can I Afford It?"

The real question is, can you afford not to do this? How much more time and filament will you waste before you get the results you deserve?

Imagine the confidence to be able to click print, and come back to a perfectly finished model - without "hoping" it will finish. What is that worth to you?

Think about how much you paid initially for your printer - you'd be loosing twice if you didn't use it to it's potential. 

The beauty of this program is you can just join for any amount of time you need to.

And you're not tied in, once you're getting the results you need, feel free to part ways - we'll be sad to see you go, but thrilled we could turn your printing around for you.
