Moving beyond basic PLA.

There are plenty of great reasons to pick up a 3D printer, but it's also important to find a filament that works for you. Choosing the wrong filament will lead to clogs, a stringy printing process and ...

A new 3D printer brings the world's first automatic 12-nozzle swapping system to desktop 3D printing — and it's everything ...

However, industrial 3D printing machines differ greatly from traditional desktop printers. Besides the format of the machines and the prints, one major difference can be found in the material that is ...

The next time you find yourself in need of some large-ish plastic springs, maybe consider [PattysLab]’s method for making plastic springs out of spare filament. The basic process is simple: tightly ...

Cold weather taught me that filament problems aren’t just about slicer settings, and it completely changed how I thought ...

[DaveMakesStuff] demonstrates a great technique for 3D printing a sphere; a troublesome shape for filament-based printers to handle. As a bonus, it uses a minimum of filament. His ideas can be applied ...

Developers at M3D have created a four filament 3D printing head aptly named the QuadFusion witches this week launched via Kickstarter to raise the $10,000 required to take the design into production.

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.

As we know, 3D printers make objects but eliminate the waste and high tooling costs of traditional manufacturing. Because the machines print parts off of CAD files, even weird or impossible-to-find ...

In its latest venture into the 3D additive manufacturing field, BASF has acquired 100% of the filament producer Innofil3D, headquartered in Emmen, the Netherlands, through its affiliate BASF New ...
