The reason PLA is so widely used in 3D printing is because of how easy it is to print. PLA has a wide temperature range — between 190c and 230c 3D printing is almost entirely metric, sorry Imperial ...

One downside of 3D printing is the relatively high material price of filament spools. While 1 kilogram of filament costs between 25 and 50 dollars, the same material in pellet form only costs around a ...

After you pick a 3D printer, the first decision you'll have to make is what type of filament you want to use. Look deep enough, and you'll see several dozen varieties—even setting aside the numerous ...

In this episode of Samcraft, we explore the impact of filament moisture on 3D printing quality. Key topics include: - ...

Filament 3D printing, also known as FDM (fused deposition modeling) or material extrusion, involves melting filament which is ...

Over the years 3D printing has continued to engage and interest people for industrial uses as well as consumers. The consumer models started somewhat expensive, and way out of the ballpark of most ...

Believe it or not, you can now squeeze wood through the nozzle of your 3D printer. This new addition to the maker’s palette of 3D printer filaments comes from the mind of [Kai Parthy]. The new ...

Using Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) filaments in your 3D printing means that your models strike the perfect balance between durability and design. The best ABS 3D printers are capable of ...
