Idea 3D: 3D Printing Helper

Did your 3D print fail? Take a photo and Idea 3D tells you what happened, how to fix it and which settings to change in your slicer.

Stringing, warping, layer shifts, a first layer that won't stick: instead of digging through dozens of forums, you show the part and get the answer in a few seconds.

PHOTO DIAGNOSIS
• Marks the problem on your photo with numbers.
• Explains why it happens and gives you the steps to fix it, in order.
• Gives you the exact settings for Cura, OrcaSlicer, Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer or Creality Print, ready to copy.
• Takes your printer and material into account: PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU, nylon or resin.
• Recognizes the most common failures: stringing, warping, first layer not sticking, under-extrusion, layer shifts, elephant's foot, ghosting, blobs and holes in the top layers.

FIRST LAYER CHECK
Download the test part (five single-layer squares), print it in about 10 minutes and take a photo. Idea 3D tells you if the nozzle is too high, too low or if the bed is uneven.

COMMUNITY GUIDE
Real problems with photos and fixes voted by other makers. If something worked for you, share it and help the next one.

ALSO
• Cost calculator: material, weight, print time and energy.
• Mades: share your prints with the printer, filament and settings you used.
• Works: organize your orders with a calendar and earnings.
• STL model catalog for inspiration.

YOUR PHOTO
We don't store your photo: it stays on your phone and is only published if you choose to share it in the guide. It's analyzed by Google's Gemini, without the location or other file data.

Idea 3D is available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
