3D printing an STL file can take minutes, hours or days depending on many factors, so I wondered if I could get an estimate of the exact time and know how long my prints will take. In this post, I will explain how you can estimate printing times of any STL and the factors that…
Over time, your 3D printer bed can start to warp and bend, resulting in a product that doesn’t work in your favor. A warped 3D printer bed is something that can cause issues and decrease print quality so I decided to look around at the best solutions and put them together in this post. So…
3D printers are versatile in the fact that they can use numerous types of materials to create a desired object. The materials you can use include plastics, metals, ceramics, powders, resins, and much more. The most popular material you’ll see is plastics, more so PLA and ABS because of their ease of use and compatibility…

When searching through filament on Amazon, other websites and looking on YouTube, I came across filament sizes of 1.75mm and 3mm diameter. I didn’t know how much difference there was between the two and why people prefer one over the other. I did some research and wanted to share what I found with you. 1.75mm…
You’ve got your 3D printer set up, got an awesome design to print and have all the files loaded up ready to go. Your 3D printer is active but for some reason the print won’t stick down and moves while it’s printing. It’s a frustrating thing that has happened to many 3D printer hobbyists, but…
3D printers are a complex piece of machinery that comes with safety rules every user should follow. I’ve put together a list of these rules so follow these rules and be confident about your safety through your 3D printing journey. Safety is your responsibility, so read these carefully before your start 3D printing. This is…
You’ve set up your printer, had many successful prints but for some reason the top layer of your prints aren’t looking their best. This is an issue many 3D printer users have dealt with. It can be annoying to have a print go perfect, until the very end where you experience pillowing, which results in…
3D printers really are great, but the problems that you can run into aren’t so much. One of these issues is the 3D printer extruder nozzle getting jammed or clogged up. It’s an issue that can be resolved easily so I’m going to share that with you guys in this neat post. As you know,…
3D printers are very useful machines, but they can be a bit of a noise disturbance depending on what 3D printer you have. You’ve probably been thinking about getting a 3D printer and wonder, just how loud are 3D printers? The average 3D printer is around 50 decibels, which is as loud as a normal…
