Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) printer includes a tool configured to extrude a material onto a surface to produce a 3D object. The 3D printer also includes a first movement device configured to move the tool in a first direction while the material is being extruded. The 3D printer also includes a first sensor configured to measure a first parameter of the first movement device as the first movement device moves the tool in the first direction.
