Send a message

A metered wattage figure for a machine currently carrying an estimate, or a data-sheet density that disagrees with one published here, is the most useful thing you can send.

Both routes reach the same inbox. Use the address directly if you want a copy in your own sent items, or need to attach a photograph of a failed print or a page from a data sheet.

Or follow the corrections

Once a month: what changed in the material, printer and electricity data, including the corrections readers sent in.

One email a month. Unsubscribe from any of them.

The email address in the panel reaches a person. It is published as text and as a link, deliberately, so you have a record of what you sent and somewhere to attach a photograph or a spool label if that helps.

What is worth writing about

Corrections. A density, a temperature range, a shrinkage figure or a wattage number that does not match the data sheet or your own meter. Include where your figure comes from if you can — a data sheet, a plug-in meter reading, a weighed print — and it will be checked against the source rather than swapped for whichever number arrived most recently.

A calculator result you do not believe. These are the most useful messages. Tell us the inputs you used and the answer you expected, because a disagreement usually points at either an assumption that is not stated clearly enough or one that is genuinely wrong.

A material or printer that should be here and is not. Especially printers: the profile list covers machines people commonly own, and that set changes.

What will not get a useful answer

Diagnosing a specific failed print from a description alone. The troubleshooting section is organised by symptom and explains the mechanism behind each one, which will get you further faster than any reply could.

Response time

This is a small independent site, not a support desk. Corrections are usually acted on quickly because they are cheap to verify; longer questions take longer.

Before you write

If your question is "what should I set X to", check whether it already has a quick answer — those pages exist because the same questions come up repeatedly and a published answer helps everyone rather than one person.
