Repairing STL files in 3D Printing is a valuable skill to learn when you come across files or designs that have errors. These are usually holes or gaps in the model itself, intersecting edges, or something called non-manifold edges. There are two main ways you can repair a broken STL file. The first option involves…
Learning how to calibrate your flow rate and extruder e-steps is something every 3D printer user should know. It’s essential to getting optimal quality, so I decided to write an article about it to teach other users. To calibrate your flow rate & e-steps, you’ll have to go through quite a few steps. First, you…
FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) is the most popular 3D printing technology among hobbyists. These printers have carved out a niche for themselves as the premier choice for low-cost, desktop 3D printing. Therefore, if you are a beginner looking to enter 3D printing, chances are your first 3D printer is going to be an FDM printer….
Knowing how to calibrate your hot end and heat bed with PID Tuning is essential for making high-quality and consistent prints. This is something that every 3D printer user should know about, so I’ve decided to put together a detailed guide for this topic. To calibrate your hot end and heat bed with PID tuning,…
When it comes to drying your filament, I didn’t realize how important it was until much later in my 3D printing journey. Most filaments have the tendency to absorb moisture from the air, so learning how to dry filament can really make a difference to print quality. To dry filament, you can use a specialized…
Resin 3D printing is rapidly gaining popularity as one of the best ways for creating high-quality 3D models. Thanks to the recent release of affordable desktop units, this technology has become more available to the general public, and we are loving it. However, having a decent resin 3D printer doesn’t guarantee you top-notch prints. Resin…
When you have an old 3D printer that has been stored and unused, you might wonder what you should do with this machine. If you have been in this position, this is an article for you. I decided to write an article giving people answers on what they should do if they have an old…
Digging holes in your resin prints is important for getting successful models that come out nicely, but many people get confused on whether they should do it in the first place, how to add holes, and even where to add them. I decided to write an article explaining exactly how to do this, as well…
The Ender 3 Series are very popular 3D printers but they are known to emit fairly loud sounds and noises from the fans, stepper motors, and overall movement. Many people put up with it, but I wanted to write an article to show you how you can drastically reduce this noise. To make your Ender…
Hollowing your resin 3D prints is an important step that many users overlook, one that I myself used to not know much about. After learning about hollowing models, I decided to write an article to show other people how to do it. To hollow resin 3D prints, you simply find the “Hollow” button in your…
