There is an endless amount of 3D printing terms out there. While some terms are very common and often used, some are not, thus it is easy to get lost in the terminology while reading. For that reason, I decided to make the ultimate glossary regarding any 3D terms. In this article, I will giv

You bought your first 3D printer and already printed the files that came with it as well as some of the free 3D models available on the web. However, once you’ve done that it’s time to start designing your own prints, but to do that you’re going to have to learn some 3D des

Additive manufacturing is an awesome way to create objects. Any owner of a 3D printer can easily download a cool model file and bring it to life in no time, and that is what most of us do in the beginning. But what happens when the original design does not fit our requirements? Whenever we need

Here’s a huge list of some of the best upgrades available for the Ender 3, Ender 3 Pro, V2, and even CR10, CR10 mini, as well as for other printers, that you can print for free as well as purchase. Make sure to check the compatibility of each upgrade with your printer (information can

Owning a 3d printing can expand your creative possibilities to new horizons. Printing new objects on-demand from an extensive catalog is obviously a big advantage, but it only gets you so far. Sooner or later, you will have to design an entire object yourself, or at least modify an existing one

Printing can come with it’s fair share of difficulties, and poor bed adhesion and having a badly printed first layer are definitely part of those difficulties. A Skirt, Brim and Raft can definitely help with providing a better first layer adhesion, prevent warping (not the skirt really

Getting your first 3D printer is exciting, but once you’re done putting it together it can be quite hard to figure out how to actually get it to print without any hiccups, not to mention how to create your own 3D models. So, in this article I will be going over the best courses I found

If you’re the proud owner of an Ender 3, then you might have thought about printing flexible filaments only to find out that the really flexible kind, NinjaFlex, etc., can’t be really printed on it without some major modifications. That’s where the EZR Struder comes in sinc

When you first get your hands on a brand new 3d printer, you can spend hours printing objects available on Thingiverse and MyMiniFactory. Sooner or later, there comes a time when you will have to design an entire object by yourself, or at least modify an existing one in order to meet a specific

For every maker, there comes a time when you feel the need to create or at least modify a design to fit your specific requirements. That is when we get to know about CAD software and its uses. Since there are a lot of CAD apps out there, this article’s objective is to help you decide whic

Have you ever come across a model you would like to modify so it can meet a specific requirement of yours? If you ever felt the need to modify an existing model or to create your very own designs, then you surely saw there are a lot of programs to help you achieve that. There are quite a fe

This article is intended to be a review as complete as possible of the Geeetech i3 Pro B 3d printer, which is one of the most popular printers in the world, given its low cost and the ease of buying it and getting it delivered in any country from its many resellers. I will go over its assemb

If you’re having trouble keeping the bed of your Ender 3 (Pro or V2) leveled, or if you’re just learning about 3D printing and can’t get the damn thing leveled properly and the filament isn’t sticking to it, then this guide is definitely for you. In this article, I will go over how to fix ce

In this article, I will be going over a lot of the important information regarding the belts on your Ender 3 and how tight they should be. I will also show you results of three different prints I made, one with very loose belts, another one with fairly tight ones, and the last one with the b

If you’re just getting started with 3D printing, you might not be entirely sure what layer height it is that you should print your models at. In this article, I’ll go over what layer height is, the relationship between layer height and nozzle diameter and how they differ, since t

Ender 3 Bed leveling can be quite difficult at times, especially if there are some things that aren’t working as intended. In this article, I’ll explain how to fix a wobbly bed, how to fix a bed that is higher on one side, how to fix the bed screws that seem to be turning in plac

Did you know that there are some filaments that can actually carry electricity? While they may not be widely known, or used for that matter, there definitely are conductive filaments out there that you can get to print some insanely interesting projects. Now the question is, how conductive i

If you read the news at least once in the last decade, you may be aware of the so-called 3d printing revolution. Although additive manufacturing has been used in the industry since the 1980s, it was not widely available to hobbyist users up until recently. The creation of the RepRap project

If you already own a 3d printer, you are surely aware of PLA and even ABS. Perhaps, you already tried printing other less popular filaments, like PETG, TPU, and ASA, among others. Before you buy a spool of these, you may find it usefull to know if your 3d printer is compatible with that specifi
