One of the most popular file types for 3D models are STL files and there are a lot of them that can be downloaded for free online, but to be able to 3D print them you’ll need to convert them into G-codes. To convert an STL file into a G-code, download an STL file then…
Anti-aliasing is a unique feature that can help you get even better print quality than usual from your resin printer! When used right, anti-aliasing softens the print’s edges and reduces the staircase effect, leading to a smoother, more continuous surface. To use anti-aliasing, simply go into your resin slicing software and check the box besides…
Properly storing PLA filament is very important in order to preserve the quality of the filament. Many users get confused about how to do it correctly. To properly store PLA filament you can use different ways, such as storing it inside airtight containers with desiccants, on vacuum seal bags, or in Ziploc bags. You can…
QR codes have become very popular because they allow you to access information easily and quickly. 3D printing has enabled many people to create QR codes that they can use for various reasons. For example, to share their Wi-Fi network or details of their business. To create a 3D printed QR code, you will need…
Joining and fusing filament spools can be difficult, especially when you can’t secure a bond between them. Many users have experienced this issue, so I decided to write this article explaining different methods for joining filaments. To join filament spools together, you can use a filament joining tool such as a piece of PTFE tube…
With the ever-rising price of 3D printer filaments, many users have sought out means to make 3D filaments on their own. This is why I have written this article to inform you about how you can make 3D printer filament. Recycling failed prints and leftover filaments of the same type (PLA, ABS, PETG) can be…
Having the right tension on your 3D printer’s FEP film can make a big difference to the success of your models. Many people aren’t sure how tight the FEP should be or how to measure the FEP tension, so I decided to write this article going through some methods to do this. To measure the…
Jyers is a powerful open-source software that can control your 3D printer, providing a user-friendly interface for controlling and communicating with your printer. Installing Jyers on your Ender 3 (Pro, V2, S1) printer can bring many benefits, such as improved control over the printer, better 3D model visualization, and increased printing accuracy. That’s why I…
If you own an Ender 3, you may have encountered the issue of under extrusion, where the printer is not able to push out enough filament to create a clean print. This problem can be frustrating, especially if you are new to 3D printing. That’s why I wrote this article, to teach you some of…
