Painting 3D prints is a great way of making your models unique and more accurate, but people get confused about how exactly they should be painting their 3D prints. I thought I’d put together an article that helps people to paint 3D prints from filaments like PLA, ABS, PETG & Nylon. The best paints to…
Voxelab are starting to build up a name for themselves as a reputable 3D printer manufacturer, especially with the introduction of the Voxelab Aquila X2 machine that is an upgrade from the Voxelab Aquila. They have FDM printers as well as resin printers, both of which I have used and had great success with. They…
We’ve all gone through plenty of filament and failed 3D prints, so naturally it’s normal to ask whether we can recycle it. Many people wonder what to do with failed 3D prints, so I decided to write an article on it. Recycling is defined as the action or process of converting waste into reusable material….
When I first started 3D printing, I didn’t know much about calibration tests so I just went straight into 3D printing objects. After some experience in the field, I learned how important 3D printing calibration tests are. The best 3D printing calibration tests include the 3DBenchy, XYZ Calibration Cube, Smart Compact Temperature Calibration, and the…
Learning how to orient models for resin 3D printing is a skill that I found a little confusing in my early 3D Printing days. So, I decided to write an article about it to help people in a similar position. You can tilt and orient models for 3D printing by rotating them in the slicer….
3D printing is steadily growing as time goes on as a way to create high quality models, whether they are items related to one of your hobbies or for some cool miniatures, figurines and plenty more. Resin 3D printers are getting a lot easier to use for beginners and novices, so I decided to put…
3D printing can definitely be used to 3D print food safe objects such as cups, cutlery, containers, and more. Learning how to 3D print food safe objects is important if you want to use them for that purpose. To 3D print food safe objects, use a stainless steel nozzle, print with a certified food safe…
3D printed parts can be improved by using connecting joints & interlocking parts within the design, but they can be tricky to 3D print dimensionally. After having some failures with 3D printing these parts, I decided to write an article on how to 3D print them correctly. To 3D print connection joints & interlocking parts,…
The Anycubic Photon Ultra is a 3D printer that is created to introduce more people to the DLP technology for resin 3D printing at a budget. It differs from the usual MSLA 3D printing technology, allowing for more efficient light utilization. Anycubic have plenty of experience manufacturing popular printers, whether filament or resin, so hearing…
After getting into 3D printing, I came across terms such as firmware, Marlin, flashing, and upgrading which was pretty confusing at first. I did some research about 3D printer firmware and found out what it all means, so I wrote an article about it to assist other people. This article will discuss firmware-related topics such…
