We recently discovered a new AI-powered web tool that promises to troubleshoot and solve all your 3D printing problems. PrintFix.io is simple to use and offers a free trial plan to test the AI’s advice. Finding reliable help when your prints fail can be challenging, especially for those new to the hobby and unfamiliar with the terms commonly used in 3D printing.
Many people turn to Facebook groups for advice, only to be met with hostile responses that are less than helpful. I’ve observed many troubled users handed outdated advice, tips that don’t apply to their machine, or simply being belittled for not Googling their problem first. Perhaps a simple AI interface is needed?
PrintFix might offer some decent advice, but it’s not perfect. The questionnaire asks for your machine and filament information, but doesn’t ask what slicer you’re using. I tested it out and received some good general advice, but also fixes that only apply to Cura, and suggested print speeds that are stuck in the Ender 3 era.

This isn’t too surprising. Without knowing how the program was written, we can only assume it’s a Large Language Model AI sifting through years of forum posts about 3D print fails. For a very long time, Creality Ender 3’s and Cura dominated the consumer 3D printing market. There are seven years of data regarding the Ender 3, but only three years for Bambu Lab.
