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 ...

This can show up as various issues related to extrusion. Common issues like under-extrusion, inconsistent flow, and layers ...

Empty spools from 3D printer filament are the kind of thing that begs to be repurposed, and one option is [3d-printy]’s vertical filament spool parts drawer design. The way this solution works is by ...

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 ...

FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printers, better known as filament 3D printers, come in a wide range of models, at a wide range of prices, with many different features. Whether you're new to 3D ...

Once more afraid* to leave the front door, I was messing with some sample filament spools I bought from UK firm Filamentive – which sells only filament with a high recycled content. These are loose ...

The grand prize includes five spools of filament and two runners-up will each win a Micro+ 3D printer and two spools! Rick Broida is the author of numerous books and thousands of reviews, features and ...

Prusa has been really smart about how it approaches the sale of Prusament. Dimensional accuracy is one of the most important parts of any filament and Prusa has gone beyond the norm to bring us the ...
