3D Printing - 3D Printer Hardware
Why is extruder calibration important in 3D printing?
ATo ensure the printer moves smoothly on all axes
BTo make sure the correct amount of filament is pushed through the nozzle
CTo adjust the temperature of the heated bed
DTo clean the print bed before printing
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Define extruder calibration

    Extruder calibration sets the filament feed rate so the printer pushes the right amount of filament.

  2. Step 2: Match with options

    'To make sure the correct amount of filament is pushed through the nozzle' describes this; others relate to movement, temperature, or cleaning.

  3. Final Answer:

    To make sure the correct amount of filament is pushed through the nozzle -> Option B

  4. Quick Check:

    Extruder calibration = Correct filament feed [OK]
Quick Trick: Extruder calibration controls filament flow amount [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Confusing extruder calibration with axis movement
  • Thinking it adjusts bed temperature
  • Assuming it cleans the print bed
