There is nothing like having a high-quality printer in your possession, but a sturdy table, workbench or desk for it to sit on is more or less equally important as well. A solid foundation is definitely a factor that can impact your print quality, so this article will list down some of the best surfaces…
3D printing by itself is pretty cool, but you know what’s even cooler? 3D printing wirelessly. I think we all love some extra convenience, so why not add some when it comes to 3D printing? Some 3D printers come with wireless support built in, but the Ender 3 isn’t one of them, along with several…
3D printing is great in itself, but what if we could 3D scan ourselves and then 3D print ourselves. This is definitely possible when you know the right techniques. In this article, I will detail and guide you through how to 3D scan yourself the right way. To 3D scan yourself, you should use a…
Keeping filament dry is an issue that I realized was important for 3D printing, so I wanted to share with you guys 4 awesome methods that 3D printer users implement to keep their filament dry. Filament is best kept dry in vacuum bags, a dry box or cabinet or a specialized 3D filament box. You…
As we all know, 3D printers place great importance on getting the right temperature conditions in order to create a high-quality 3D print. One of the best ways to achieve that constant temperature is to use an enclosure, but can things get a little too hot? This article will look into 3D printer enclosures, temperature…
In the 3D printing field, there are massive archives of designs which people upload, can also download for free themselves, and use them to 3D print. Another element comes into play when you print these models and put them up for sale. This article will look into whether you can sell 3D printed models that…
As you probably already know, there are two main filament sizes in 3D printing, 1.75mm & 3mm. Many people wonder whether you can actually convert a 3mm filament down to a 1.75mm filament to successfully use in a compatible 3D printer. This article will guide you in that process. The best way to convert 3mm…
When it comes to 3D printing resolution or layer height, you always hear or see the term microns, which definitely confused me at first. With a little research, I’ve figured out the micron measurement and how it’s used in 3D printing to describe 3D print resolution. 100 microns is equivalent to a 0.1mm layer height,…
Learning how to improve overhangs in your 3D prints is a skill that your print quality will really appreciate. I’ve had some pretty poor overhangs in the past, so I decided to set out and figure out the best methods to improve them. It actually isn’t as hard as I thought. To improve overhangs you…
You’re presented with countless variations to choose from when it comes to picking a 3D printer. One such case is where you have to decide between a Delta or a Cartesian-style 3D printer. I faced a similar hassle and experienced nothing but tough luck for a long while. That is why I’m writing this article…
