The Flow Rate, also known as the extrusion multiplier is an important setting that can help you with getting better 3D prints. This is measured in a percentage, so the default is 100%, but you can adjust this in certain situations. I decided to write an article about how to get the best extrusion multiplier…
The temperature on 3D printers can go pretty high, but in some cases, you might want to increase the temperature past what is the usual maximum point. I decided to write an article teaching you how to increase the max temperature on a 3D printer whether it’s the Ender 3 or another machine. What is…
The firmware of a 3D printer is important for unlocking the capabilities of your machine, so many people wonder the best firmware is for the Ender 3 series. This article will guide you on what the best firmware is, as well as how to install it for yourself. The best firmware for an Ender 3…
The Ender 3 is probably the most popular 3D printer in the industry, mainly due to its competitive cost and ability to produce effective 3D printing results. I decided to put together a nice starter’s guide for 3D printing with an Ender 3. This guide will also cover everything you need to start printing with…
There are plenty of settings within Cura that many people don’t use, even though they can be very helpful. An example of these settings is a section of Cura settings called “Experimental”. So, I decided to write an article about them so people could try it for themselves. Keep on reading through this article for…
The Creality Ender 6 is a fairly popular 3D printer that has plenty of settings you can adjust to get the best quality. It can be confusing to figure out what the best settings for an Ender 6 are, so I decided to make this article to detail that for you. I’ll explain some more…
Calibrating the Z-axis on your 3D printer is a good way to ensure you are getting dimensionally accurate 3D printers, as well as creating better quality models. This article will take you through the calibration process for your Z-axis. To calibrate the Z-axis on your 3D printer, download and 3D print an XYZ calibration cube…
Hollowing 3D prints is something that people wonder if they can do, whether it’s for a project or to create a special item. This article will detail whether you can hollow models or even 3D print hollow models, as well as some methods to do it. Can You 3D Print Hollow Objects? Yes, you can…
Cura has plenty of settings that contribute to creating some great 3D prints with filament 3D printers, but a lot of them can be confusing. There are pretty good explanations on Cura, but I thought I’d put together this article to explain how you can use these settings. So, let’s look at some of the…
Bridging can be quite difficult when it comes to PETG specifically due to the physical properties of the material. This article will detail some simple ways you can improve the bridging of your PETG 3D prints. The best way to improve PETG bridging is to decrease your printing temperature, increase your cooling fan speeds, and…
