Vase mode, also referred to as spiral vase mode, is a unique method of 3D printing that is meant to print hollow and thin-walled objects with a smooth exterior finish. Unlike other 3D printing methods, which print in layers and have defined beginning and ending points, the vase mode makes use of a smooth motion…
You are often faced with a crucial decision when you complete a 3D model in your design program and click “Export.” Which file kind should you use? For years, the response was only STL. But the additive manufacturing industry has been transformed with the introduction of the 3MF standard. So let’s look at both formats…
Not every digital file is made alike. Though STL has long been the main workhorse of 3D printing, several other kinds of formats have appeared, each with distinct pros and disadvantages. Using the wrong format can cause unsuccessful prints and aggravation, whether you are printing a full-color art piece or a functional prototype. This guide…
Having problems dialing in the best results for your 3D printer filament? Want to make your 3D objects look more or less shiny? Seeing problems with the texture after your print is finished? All of this and more can be tweaked by adjusting the temperature in your print settings before starting a new model. And…
For anyone who has 3D printed more than a few times, chances are that they have experienced their 3D prints slowly peeling off the bed during the process. Most of the time, this leads to a failed result because of warping or other problems, because the 3D model does not adhere well enough to the…
One of the more frustrating parts of 3D printing any design, is when you experience hairy strings or blobs of filament in the middle of an hour-long project. Oftentimes, this can not only look like a 3D printed spider web, but also mess up your entire print setting you back on both time and material…
Understanding when to use supports in 3D printing, what they do, and how they actually work can be a challenge for many beginning hobbyists. There are a number of different technical terms to learn, and then, of course, the impact on the overall result itself to consider. So this article aims to help you understand…
Wer gerne mit PLA druckt, weiß, wie vielseitig das Material verwendet werden kann und wie einfach es zu drucken ist. Es gibt aber manchmal auch diese kleinen „nervigen“ Unannehmlichkeiten, die den Druck irgendwie nicht so rund laufen lassen.Wir haben 4 häufige Fehler beim PLA-3D-Druck und Lösungsansätze hier zusammengefasst, sodass ihr diese 3D Druckprobleme mit optimierten…
