Most 3D printers come with a pretty basic filament holder — often little more than a bar to hang the spool on. [Ivan Miranda]’s 3D printers run bigger spools than most, though, so he had to craft an ...

Most 3D printer filament soaks up water from the air, and when it does, the water passing through the extruder nozzle can expand, bubble, and pop, causing all kinds of mayhem and unwanted effects in ...

Plastic waste is a big problem in our world today. It's important for makers who use 3D printing technology (which generates plastic objects) to consider the waste hierarchy paradigm. Here's the thing ...

There are many factors that determine how well a 3D printer prints. While many of them involve tuning and tweaking the actual 3D printer itself, the filament you print with may be one of the most ...

Prusa invited reporters and content creators from around the globe to take a look inside his new machine, literally. The ...

I am not quite sure this is the place for 3D printer modifications, but as this seems to work it might as well go here so folk have a chance of finding it by web search. This is because the spool ...

Prusa has been really smart about how it approaches the sale of Prusament. Dimensional accuracy is one of the most important parts of any filament and Prusa has gone beyond the norm to bring us the ...

FDM stands for Fused Deposition Modeling, and it refers to the most popular and common form of 3D printing where material is ...

3D printing enthusiasts interested being able to monitor just how much 3D printing filament they have left on their spools. Might be interested in an new Arduino project that allows you to easily see ...

If you frequently use a 3D printer for your projects then you may experience issues calculating the material weight and length usage. If so, then you might be interested in this project using Arduino.

In evaluating a 3D printer, we look at a number of factors, among them ease of setup and use, print quality and consistency, build volume, software, filament, connectivity, and price. Although no ...
