Hello Dear 3D printing People.
If you are in this hobby for a while, You've probably got your fair share of failed prints. Usually failing for no apparent reason, ruining your 24 hour print...
I've been pretty lucky with my MSLA printer for the first year I was using it. Almost no problems at all. Good things never last forever though, and lately I am getting more issues like poor surface finish on my parts or prints not sticking to the build plate etc.
That means that I spend a lot of time searching for solutions to different printing issues online. I've found a lot of online troubleshooting guides that helped me fixing most of my problems and I thought it may be a good idea to share some of those resources with you.
Below you can find a list of links together with short commentaries. I hope this is useful and may save you some headache.

Below you I've included some links for FDM/FFF printing problems. There are more resources available for 'spaghetti' printers, that is probably because of technology being available longer. It's been some time since I was printing with my Prusa I3, but I still have nightmares about it. My deepest sympathy ;)
