Many 3D printing enthusiasts want to 3D print multi-color objects but are unsure about how to do it properly. To make multi-color 3D prints you’ll need to either pause your printer and manually change the filament or add a pause command in the G-code file. Using multi-color filaments, dual extruder 3D printers, or multi-filament feeder…
BL Touch, produced by Antclabs, and CR Touch by Creality, are popular automatic bed leveling systems. They measure and compensate for any unevenness in the print bed’s surface for better-quality prints. I decided to compare the main aspects of these systems to help you pick one. The CR Touch is designed better and offers slightly…
Printing with flexible filaments such as TPU and TPE can be challenging compared to rigid materials like PLA or ABS. Since they require specific settings, upgrades, or considerations, I decided to write an article on how it can be done to achieve good print results. You can 3D print with flexible filament by using a…
Achieving a smooth and flawless surface finish on 3D prints can be a bit challenging. As many people experience issues with this, I decided to write an article detailing how to improve the surface quality of your 3D prints. To improve surface finish in 3D prints, you can increase travel speed or enable ironing in…
A lot of people experience issues with Marlin PID autotune not working on their 3D printers, which is what helps maintain a stable and accurate temperature. I decided to write an article detailed different ways to fix Marlin PID autotune. To fix Marlin PID autotune not working, run Autotune in a stable environment, manually adjust…
A 3D printer enclosure is a useful accessory for printing with temperature-sensitive materials like ABS and PETG. It keeps the printer’s smells and noise in while keeping cold drafts out. Buying a new 3D printer enclosure is an option, but many users prefer to build or make one for themselves. I wrote this article to…
There are a lot of 3D printing enthusiasts that wonder how they can correctly print thin walls and many of them experience different issues when working with models that feature thin walls. To fix thin walls in 3D prints, you can try adjusting wall thickness, optimizing line width, or enabling the option “Print Thin Walls”…
Partial clogs happen when a blockage or obstruction occurs in the nozzle or filament path. This causes the filament to come out curly, which leads to failed prints. I decided to write this article to explain the best ways to fix this issue. To fix a 3D printer partial clog, you should perform a cold…
It can be quite common to run out of filament during a print and many users wonder how to properly change filament without ruining the whole print and having to start it over. To change filament during print you can do a manual filament swap, which requires pausing the print and changing the filament by…
You can now easily produce objects of different sizes and complexities thanks to 3D printing. However, one common issue many 3D printing users face is running out of filament mid-print. There are several ways to fix this issue anytime you experience it. To fix a 3D printer running out of filament, you can install a…
