Here are some common questions about 3D Printing Magazine
Is there a version of 3D Printing Magazine for Android?
YES. You will find 3D Printing Magazine on the Google Play App store under “NEWSSTAND” section.

Is there a print version of 3D Printing Magazine?
No. 3D Printing Magazine is digital format only, and this lets us include fantastic video and audio content.
Can I read 3D Printing Magazine on my pc or laptop?
No. 3D Printing Magazine is carefully designed specifically for mobile devices only. The convenience of having the essentials of 3D Printing at hand in your pocket is unmatched. Just be sure your device is large enough for comfortable viewing. We recommend an iPhone 6 size or larger so you get the best reading experience possible.
How does the purchase process work?
As a user of 3D Printing Magazine app, you can either subscribe to our magazine or you can buy single issues. If you subscribe (Auto-Renewal) you will get a discounted access to the current published issue and have discounted access to any future issues while you remain a subscriber.
If you purchase a single issue, you will be able to view only that issue immediately after your successful purchase.
How do Special Issues Work?
Special Issues are different in the sense that they are not part of the magazine subscription. They are independent ‘stand-alone’ special issues such as a ‘Collection Edition’, ‘Anniversary Issue’ or other occasion. Subscriptions do not include Special issues. Special issues are additional magazines that are made available as a separate purchase. They will have a red “Special” sash and will appear below the top section.
How do I take a screenshot with my iPad?
My App is crashing. How can I fix this?
Do you have iPad 2 or better? … Current app magazines make the most of digital graphics, and this is where the iPad 1 fails most. This is due to its limited RAM (265mb), and inability to update iOS beyond version 5xx. Currently we do all we can to keep graphics streamlined, but there will soon come a day when nothing more can be done except to upgrade the device to a newer model.
Is it just a faulty auto-install? … 3D Printing Magazine App has been extensively battle tested, so most problems (more than half) happen from a poor auto-install. Interrupting the download stream can occasionally cause this for example, but there can be any number of reasons.
• Be sure to CONNECT TO WIFI when downloading the 3D Printing Magazine app.
• KEEP THE APP OPEN and do not go to other apps while the download is active.
Regardless of what caused it >>Here’s the Best way to CLEAR MOST PROBLEMS FAST! Follow these steps to delete and reinstall, Hard restart to clear your device and more.
Why was my new mag not delivered automatically?
We love App store technology, but it is not perfect. Push Notifications are awesome but sometimes a user’s iPad can drop push notification connection. Weird but it happens. What you can do is to turn off WIFI, turn on Airplane mode, then reconnect to WIFI. Something else you can try is to connect to another WIFI network for a while and then switch back to yours. Restarting your iPad can also sometimes help.
