3D printers are growing in popularity and are developing at a fast right, but how fast are 3D printers themselves? There are many speeds that 3D printers can move, some faster than others, so this article will explain how fast a 3D printer can really print. 3D printers are known as rapid prototyping and work…
When it comes to 3D printing, there are several filaments that people use, but it’s steadily growing to users opting in for either PLA or PETG. This had me wondering, is PETG actually stronger than PLA? I set out to do some research to find out this answer and share it with you guys. PETG…
3D printer filament has a tendency to absorb moisture and water over time from the immediate environment. Some filament is definitely worse than others, so I decided to write an article detailing which filament absorbs water, as well as how to prevent moisture from being absorbed. The main 3D printer filament that absorbs moisture and…
3D printer fumes and pollutants are usually overlooked by people, but it’s important to ventilate your 3D printer properly. There are some great ventilation systems that you can make use of to have your 3D printing environment safer and less harmful to people around it. The best way to ventilate a 3D printer is to…
ABS is one of the most popular 3D printing materials, but many people struggle to get it to stick to the bed. Bed adhesion for ABS does take a little bit of extra knowledge to get it perfect. This article will detail the best ways to get your ABS prints to stick to the print…
Nailing the first layer when beginning your print is something that’s desired by everyone in the field of 3D printing. To get it right, however, requires paying attention to extra detail and being aware of what needs to be sorted out. This article aims to do exactly that and help you in perfecting the first…
When it comes to 3D printing, many people have issues with getting prints to stick to the print bed, but there is an issue on the opposite side. That is prints that stick too well to the print bed, or just won’t come off the bed at all. In instances where prints are really stuck…
There are many settings that we can adjust and improve on our 3D printers, one of them being retraction settings. It took me a while to figure out how important they were, and once I did, my 3D printing experience changed for the better. Many people don’t realize how important retraction can be until they…
Are you planning to purchase an efficient yet economical 3D printer for your personal use or business? Are you fed up with the loud shrieking sounds of your old printer? Or are you looking for a multi-tasker printer which follows commands while you do other things? If any of this is the case, you reached…
Bridging is a term in 3D printing that refers to a horizontal extrusion of material between two raised points, but they aren’t always as horizontal as we want them to be. I’ve gone through experiences where my bridging was quite poor, so I had to search for a fix. After doing some research, I decided…
