Why is my 3D model not printing?
Typically this 3D printing problem is attributable to two parts of the printing process — either something is wrong with your filament supply, or there’s a problem with the hot end/nozzle itself. Or it could be too tight of an idler on your extruder resulting in stripped filament that isn’t being fed into the hot end.
Why might a designer choose not to 3D print a solid model design?
Problems linked to wall thickness are by far the most common reasons why some 3D models are not printable. In some cases, wall thickness is too thin. Walls that are too thin make small parts on the model unable to be printed or very fragile and could break off easily.
Are there things you can’t print with a 3D printer?
These elements are hard to reproduce if you are not an expert in 3D printing. If you have no design with you, you cannot print anything. Moreover, the part that you would like to print should be suited for 3D printing. You cannot print items that have no flat parts or have very big overhangs.

Can a 3D printer be used for mass production?
Otherwise, 3D print technology has not developed enough for mass production. This will be the biggest impediment of 3D printing. You could have the 3D printer with you. However, if you do not have the model of the object that you want to produce, it will be useless.
Why are my 3D printer models not coming off?
Malfunctioning extruder fans, a heater & thermocouple, extruder printed circuit board (PCB), extruder cable, and motherboard can be also to blame. Most FDM 3D printers can print models on the raft, a flat structure made with the first few layers of filament to increase adhesion and dimensional accuracy.
