When you wish to 3D print your new designs, you are met with many different options of printing filament to choose from. You could go for ABS or PLA as they are quite common and affordable, but depending on your needs and how the model will be used, there are some interesting alternatives. One of…
If you have ever used TPU 3D printer filament before, you might have had issues with a stringing mess created by the printer, or maybe bad layer adhesion. This is often caused by moisture in the TPU filament, which typically happens when it is not stored in an airtight container or package. So let us try…
If you have ever printed with your own 3D printer at home, you might have wondered what to do with 3D printer waste, and whether you could possibly recycle 3D printer filament at home. It is not a topic many people talk about in great detail, so this article will try to clear things up.…
If you have ever printed 3D designs made for outdoor use, you will most likely have noticed a big difference in performance and durability depending on the different filaments that were used. So to help you decide which option to pick for different outdoor scenarios, let us take a closer look today. Enjoy! Properties of…
Whether you are printing many different prints, or just looking for the best value, researching more about ASA and ABS filament is a great way to set yourself up for success. So today we will be looking at which is the best 3D printer filament as a general all-around material in terms of pure value.…
If you are looking to create 3D printed objects with a really special texture and high impact resistance you might be interested in 3D printer filament combining PETG and metal, as this material has metal powder embedded in the polymers, which creates a unique and interesting visual effect, while also having a set of beneficial properties such…
When it comes to flexible filament types, there are two main materials to consider as they outperform other common flexible materials (such as flexible PLA or PVC), like elastic recovery rate and fatigue resistance. These are TPE and TPU filaments, which are used in a wide variety of projects that require flexible parts as part…
Do you sometimes feel it is a challenge to figure out which 3D printer filament will work best for the design you want to print, or are you just looking to brush up on your knowledge of ABS 3D printing techniques? In any case, we will go over everything involved with the process of using ABS plastic…
