Preflight checklist

0 ready

Correct build plate is installed, clean, undamaged and fully seated.Printer, nozzle, plate, material and process profiles match the actual setup.Filament or resin is identified, conditioned and sufficient for the job.First-layer calibration, mesh and Z offset are current and appropriate.Nozzle, hotend, extruder and feed path are clean and mechanically secure.Axes move smoothly; belts, wheels, rails, rods and cables are clear.Hotend, part-cooling and electronics fans operate normally.Slicer preview was inspected layer by layer for unsupported islands, gaps, collisions and tool changes.Orientation, supports, interfaces, brims and bridges were deliberately reviewed.Build volume, purge structures, clips, cables and moving parts have safe clearance.Temperature, speed, cooling, retraction, flow and material limits use a known-good baseline.Printer surroundings are clear; smoke detection, ventilation and supervision match the material and job risk.Project, profile and source model are saved before printing.The first layers will be watched and the print will be checked at meaningful milestones.
