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 ...

3D printing pens may be toys to some, but they can be genuinely useful tools to repair 3D prints, rescue a support structure, or weld together different pieces. However, [BManx2000] found that the way ...

Good 3D prints take more than well designed STL files and trustworthy printers, you also need reliable filament. Here are the ...

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 ...

Much of the time spent in front of a 3D printer is spent thinking about shapes. However, when you pick up the finished product, it is often the material that passed through the nozzle that determines ...

There are now a plethora of 3D printers available for all types of projects, but these five features should be considered non-negotiable when choosing yours.

A study of pultrusion based recycling examines how the geometry of discarded PET bottles affects filament quality, highlighting a frequently overlooked variable for anyone turning packaging waste into ...
