What to design for?

It is the best practice to always design towards the strengths and weaknesses of the medium you'll be using. The projects in this series of books will focus on designing for FFF 3D printers, because they're inexpensive and more readily available than the others, and the parts made with FFF 3D printers are suitable for a wide variety of functional uses. Also, many of the techniques for FFF design transfer to the other types of 3D printing. But because FFF 3D printers have limitations, there will be some things you need to know first.
