When you work with 3D printers, it's easy to assume that every surface flaw or failed print means your hardware isn't good enough. When layers don't stick or extrusion becomes inconsistent, premium ...

A newly published Chinese patent proposes an unusually elaborate way to protect an FFF 3D printer nozzle when the machine is ...

Conventional single-nozzle multi-color systems (AMS) plague users with excessive filament waste, long retract cycles, and heaps of purged plastic. The M1D overcomes this through its DualX system, ...

So here's my problem: I want to change to a .6mm nozzle but when I do it appears that while the spacing of the paths the slicer makes assumes a .6mm line width the amount extruded is woefully ...

When new materials are released to the market, they jump on the opportunity to test and research them extensively. Hereby they aim at the best printing settings using their extruder and various ...

Adding a third dimension to sketches with a 3D printing pen can bring a whole new layer of fun to doodling. But as we discovered for ourselves last year, it's not as easy as company reps make it look.

If you’re new to the world of 3D printing, you’ve probably seen a lot of jargon thrown around. This can be particularly off-putting for a newcomer, despite how mainstream the hobby has become in ...

A newly granted Chinese utility patent describes an unusual FFF 3D printer arrangement combining a magnetically driven ...
