My hubby cherishes his partial Irish heritage a lot. He enjoys celebrating St. Patrick’s Day.

Hence, I thought of designing a Shamrock leprechaun hat.

These are the steps below which I took to print it:

  • I sliced the file with Cura software and then exported it to an SD card.
  • I used soap and warm water to clean the glass bed, then dried it with a paper towel.
  • Reinstalled the printer’s glass bed.
  • After that, I checked to see if everything was working on my Ender 3 Pro 3D printer.
  • I levelled the bed after placing the filament on the spool holder.
  • I put the SD card in the printer. I turned on the printer, did an auto home, and set the temperature.
  • By printing the chep bed file, I tested the printer’s bed level.
  • I printed the file from TIF once it was ready to print.
  • I kept an eye on the printer while it was printing.
  • I waited for the printer to cool down before removing the print.
  • The printer was auto-homed, and then turned the power button off.
  • I removed the SD card from the printer.
