We are already familiar with the infinite uses that 3d printing enthusiast re finding every day. It should be of no surprise that this incredible technology has also reached the culinary world in the form of kitchen utensils. One of the most popular 3D printed parts for kitchen use is none o

As our experience in 3D printing grows with the passage of time, we may also get courageous enough to start tinkering with our hardware, install updates or set other start and end G-Code snippets. Seeing how our additions improve the output quality of our machine can be incredibly rewarding and

When we buy a 3d printer, we think about the benefits that it can provide us: create our own parts, print collectible figures, spare parts for a broken mechanism, among others. We do not think that having a machine melting plastic in our home could affect our health in a serious way. Today w

The 3D printing comunity has debated extensively about the advantages and disadvantages of both resin and filament printers. The most usually discussed topics are related to the quality of the prints, the cost of the materials and the printing times of each technology. It may also be the ca

If you own a 3d printer and have used it at least once in your lifetime, there is virtually no possibility that you are unaware of the existence of supports. Although they are a common feature in 3D printing, they are mostly parametrized in a suboptimal way. This article will show you how to im

Both novice and experienced 3D printing enthusiasts have to deal with printing issues on a regular basis in order to finally achieve rewarding and good-looking prints. The main difference between both type of users is that the experienced ones typically can look at a print and quickly troublesh

One of the reasons I like 3D printing so much, is because of how useful it can actually be to fix things in your own home, such as your bathroom or kitchen sink. However, not all filament types have the same properties, which begs the question; Which filament is the best one to print gaskets

3D printing parts are being used in an infinite array of industries and purposes. It is not uncommon that some uses require specific technical characteristics, such as impact strength, moisture resistance, UV resistance, or heat resistance. Today we will focus on heat resistance and determine w

One of the first things anyone wants to print as soon as they get their hands on their first 3D printer, are Phone cases, and I think that that’s kind of the beauty of 3D printing; Creating functional objects that actually have a real use. In this article, I will tell you what filament

If you have been introduced to the 3D printing world fairly recently, you already know about all the most relevant slicers. You may have also noticed that among them, there is a slicer that stands out because of its price tag. Considering that most free and open-source slicers available toda

3D Printing definitely comes with its vast number of issues and problems you need to solve, and when you’re dealing with dual extruders it’s even more complicated. This is why I decided to create this guide where I go over how to deal with most dual extrusion problems such as Ooz

Have you ever noticed some plastic hair in your print going from a wall to another? Or did you find small plastic balls on the sides of the piece? Or maybe some leaks on every layer? This type of error may occur when the nozzle “leaks”, causing the plastic to flow from the nozzle

If you’ve already read a few posts related to 3D printing and dabbled a little in the details of the process, you sure are aware of the existence of heated beds. This component heats the surface of a 3D printers buildplate, which has many advantages. You may also know that you can change

You just got your first resin printer, installed a slicer for those types of printers, and then started printing. Now, you’re almost out of resin, so you buy another type of resin, however, can you mix those and still get quality prints? Can you change their colors/dye them? In this

Did you know that you can print images with your 3d printer? Yes, like a regular printer but fancier and with a three-dimensional look. These images are called lithophanes and can be printed on a regular cheap 3d printer. In this article, we will learn about 3D printed lithophanes: what they

As a newbie to 3D printing, this is the question that may have been bothering you for months. You’re always on the lookout for materials to print your models with and have tried polylactic acid (PLA), Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), Architectural Acrylic (aka shiny glue), and more. B

During the regular and normal use of a 3D printer, there is a wide variety of problems that can appear. Some of them will just delay our job for a few minutes, while others can render our machine completely useless until we are able to solve the issue. A common and annoying issue is when our

Recycling used filament spools is an ongoing challenge for 3d hobbyists. This is mostly because not all spools are recyclable. Some spools have a recycling symbol, while spools that do not carry the recycle symbol are used in alternative creative projects or simply thrown away. Most filament

When getting started in 3d printing, you will be overwhelmed with the number of parameters that your Slicer has to offer. Some of them are of course more important than others. There is no way around knowing how to fine-tune the extruder temperature, movement speed, heated bed temperature, amon

You may have recently bought a 3d printer and started obtaining some results after iterating and tweaking some settings. You already solved layer adhesion, filament temperature, and other basic aspects and now you are doubling down on printer quality. Congratulations! Let’s move on to the
