Here’s a great low cost filament extruder solution. It uses basic parts available from any hardware store, and a few 3D printed ones — estimated cost is well under $100. It’s very similar to the Lyman ...

I keep up with the trends in 3D printing reasonably well. The other day my friend mentioned that filament thickness sensing had been added to the latest version of the Marlin firmware. I had no idea ...

Didyou know that 3D printing generates a lot of plastic waste? This mayseem odd at first, but every enthusiast knows the amount of plasticthat gets wasted before any successful printing is done.

Over time 3D printing filament can degrade due to contact with the moisture in the air so keeping it sealed in air air containers is paramount, especially for more expensive 3D printing filament.

Apart from cost and quality, time to market has also become an increasingly crucial factor for the success of a product. A significant contributor to product development cycles is the time required to ...

For all its transformative potential, the high costs of 3-D printing continue keeping it from achieving mass consumer adoption. Now a new open source device may change that with its ability to create ...
