Color gradient filament is fun stuff to play with. It lets you make 3D prints that slowly fade from one color to another along the Z-axis. [David Gozzard] wanted to do some printing with this effec… ...

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 ...

Even if you own one of the best 3D printers, I’m willing to bet that at one point or another, you’ll have experienced wet ...

Although most 3D printers have a single extruder, some dual-extruder models can print an object in different colors or with different filament types. The process of printing with plastic filament ...

The 1.75 mm filament works with standard 3D printers and is compatible with automated material systems used in some newer ...

Most 3D printers come with a 0.4mm nozzle as standard, which is fine as a happy medium but won't always be enough in either direction. The genius of the Revo Six is the ability to change nozzle ...

One is the "total filament" figure, which tells you how many grams of filament the printer will use to make your model (filament typically comes in 1 kg spools, and the printer generally won't ...

Slicing refers to software turning a 3D model into instructions that a 3D printer has to follow. As the name implies, it slices the model into many layers, with each printed by the printer itself.

3D Printer Filament Sensors This session starts with a quick introduction to filament sensors, as it might be helpful for some beginners. First off note that 3D printer filament sensors come under ...
