3D printing uses a variety of materials out of which liquid-based resins and thermoplastic filaments are two of the most common you’ll find. Filaments are used with the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) technology in 3D printing while resins are the materials for Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA) technology. Both of these printing materials have contrasting properties, their…
There are many issues that can happen with 3D prints due to various issues. One of those issues is a phenomenon called bubbling or popping, which negatively affects the 3D print quality of your pieces and could result in failures altogether. This article will quickly outline how to fix this problem. The best way to…

As you probably already know, there are two main filament sizes in 3D printing, 1.75mm & 3mm. Many people wonder whether you can actually convert a 3mm filament down to a 1.75mm filament to successfully use in a compatible 3D printer. This article will guide you in that process. The best way to convert 3mm…
When it comes to 3D printing, there are several filaments that people use, but it’s steadily growing to users opting in for either PLA or PETG. This had me wondering, is PETG actually stronger than PLA? I set out to do some research to find out this answer and share it with you guys. PETG…
3D printer filament has a tendency to absorb moisture and water over time from the immediate environment. Some filament is definitely worse than others, so I decided to write an article detailing which filament absorbs water, as well as how to prevent moisture from being absorbed. The main 3D printer filament that absorbs moisture and…
