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 ...

The infill settings you use for your 3D prints can make or break them — literally. Let's talk about what infill does and how ...

If you 3D print, you already know that every spool of filament brings some level of waste. Changing color causes waste, but you can reduce that with better slice profiles and newer printers. What ...

Good 3D prints take more than well designed STL files and trustworthy printers, you also need reliable filament. Here are the ones we've grown to trust.

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 ...

3D printed parts are generally no way near the strength of an equivalent injection moulded part and techniques such as a sustained heat treatment, though effective usually distort the part beyond use.
