Ordered repair sequence

Step 1

Inspect the model and sliced preview for thin walls, holes, and open surfaces.

Step 2

Calibrate flow, temperature, and layer bonding.

Step 3

Use multiple continuous perimeters and adequate bottom layers.

Step 4

Place seams away from the lowest pressure area when possible.

Step 5

Slow outer walls and avoid excessive cooling that weakens bonding.

Step 6

Use a safe low-pressure leak test appropriate for the part.

Step 7

Apply a compatible coating only when suitable for the intended use and safety requirements.

Step 8

Redesign with thicker walls, ribs, fillets, or separate seals if leakage persists.
