Calibrating the plate may be necessary when dealing with specialty filament, more information can be found on the following [[Digital technologies/3D printing/3D printing- Intermediate/Bed Levelling, Filament Change|link.]]

=== Gathering materials: ===
 +
Before starting your print, ensure that you have the following materials:
 +
 +
* Fabric
 +
* Tape

* Save your model and bring it to the printer.
 +
* Switch on the printer and do the necessary configuration depending on the material you are using.
 +
