What are the things that i have to watch out for when 3d printing?

non manifold geometrynon manifold geometry : geometry that can not exist in the real world.

It's a good idea to check if the dimensions of your mesh are correct before exporting:

Turning on mesh analysis allows visual inspection of problems such as intersecting faces, sharp edges ,edges with thickness below a threshold and other criterias. *the inspection tool will color the faces with those problems.*

And lastly you can make selections by traits, such as loose geometry, interior faces or unconnected vertices.

note that those are just tools to help you find the problems , none of them will fix the mesh for 3d printing.
