3D printers are device which create a 3-dimentional solid objects from a digital file .3D printing is a rapidly developing and cost optimized form of rapid prototyping.The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved by additive manufacturing processes. In this modern world, there are various 3D printing methods but fused deposition modelling(FDM) is commonly used method because it is cheapest and FDM based 3D printers are small in size. By knowing the main components of FDM 3D printers, how they work and what they are capable of, they can achieve better quality, strenght and speed, easily maintain the 3D printer when needed to choose the right machine for our needs, upgrade and modify the parts fro the specific applications. Here are all the components of the 3D printer that includes the Stepper motor, Stepper motor drives, RAMPS controller, Heated Bed, Hot End, Bowden Extruder, Limit Switches, Belt drive and pulley drive, Lead screw, Cooling fans for hot-end and print cooling and also Display Screen and SD card reader module. The working, specifications, configurations, etc has been explained and also the limitations and the precautions to be taken has been explained. The software required to run the machine, software to convert the designed product into machine understandable format is described
