the 3 dimensional model into the GCODE (tool path) needed to physically
generate the print.
Spool Plastic lament coiled and stored on a plastic reel. Preferred over
1.75mm lament due to improved feeding and better mounting options.
Thermistor A special type of resistor that changes resistance based on
temperature. It is used to measure temperature on the nozzle and the
heated bed.

the PEEK insulator. The plastic lament passes through the threaded
