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

Only when something moves: what changed in the material, printer and electricity data, including the corrections readers sent in.

An email only when the data changes. 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.
