Common options include wood, aluminum, and plastic. Wooden frames are popular for their affordability and ease of construction, but they can warp over time if not properly treated.

After assembling the frame and attaching the mesh, it’s time to add some finishing touches. Sand down any rough edges to prevent injury and ensure a smooth printing experience. You may also want to paint or seal the frame to protect it from moisture and wear over time. This step is particularly important if you live in a humid environment where wood may be prone to rotting.
