3D printed objects are used in all sorts of hobbies and locations, but one that people wonder about is with their aquariums around with fish. You can print with all sorts of plastic, but just how safe are materials like PLA, ABS & PETG for fish or aquariums? Whether you’re a pet owner, or you’re…
When it comes to 3D printing you might be wondering whether PLA, ABS & PETG are actually safe for food use, whether for storage, use as utensils, and more. I decided to look into the answer to bring you some more clarity and information about food-safe 3D printing, so you can put it to use…
Cura is a slicer application which we import CAD models into to get ready for slicing, or in other words, to 3D print. A question that some people ask is whether we can 3D print directly from Cura. This article will answer that question, with more key information that you’d want to know. Can You…
For top-notch 3D prints, we need to make sure that our filament is performing optimally, and drying the filament is something that’s necessary to get there. Many people start to see quality imperfections when they have filament filled with moisture. In the past, there weren’t many ways to fix this issue so easily, but as…
Resin 3D printers require changes to the FEP film from time to time, though it can be expensive for these seemingly simple sheets of plastic. I’m sure many people, myself included, wonder if there are alternatives to FEP sheets. Laminating pouches are an alternative to FEP film on resin 3D printers. They do need preparation…
If you are wondering whether the Ender 3 or other 3D printers can 3D print metal or wood, you are not alone. This is a question that several people wonder after getting more interested in the field, which I decided to answer in this article. The Ender 3 can’t print pure wood or metal, but…
