A 3D printer is composed of several essential parts which all work together to create a physical object from a digital model. These parts include the frame, the extruder, the print bed, the control board, and the power supply. The frame provides structure and support for the printer, while the extruder is responsible for heating and melting the material being used. The print bed is where the object being printed is built, and the control board manages the printer's various functions. Lastly, the power supply is what provides the necessary energy to power the 3D printer.
