ABS and ASA filaments are both strong and tough materials for 3D printing -but with some key differences ASA has superior UV and weather resistance, making it more suitable for outdoor prints. ... Read more
Are you looking to expand the horizons of your 3D printing? If you need a material that produces results that range from translucent to nearly transparent, PMMA filament may be the solution ... Read more
Carbon fiber filaments have an incredible strength-to-weight ratio, good tensile strength, and resistance to corrosion and fatigue. They use tiny fibers that have been cut to 0.01mm strands, which are blended with ... Read more
PLA is very probably the most popular 3D printing filament around. There’s a good reason for that popularity. It’s one of the easiest materials to work and print with, giving good results ... Read more
Is PLA or ABS not cutting it anymore? For something more durable that can handle higher temperatures than PLA, but is easier to print than ABS – PETG is the filament for ... Read more
HIPS is my go-to filament for helping to print complicated designs with overhangs that require support. However, HIPS isn’t just a support material. It might be one of the most underrated 3d print filaments ... Read more
You want to start using 3D printer flexible filaments? But with all the choices out there, it can be a bit daunting to decide which one to go for. The two serious ... Read more
Being entirely water soluble, and non-toxic, this compound is used extensivly within almost every facet of modern life...
In this guide, I’ll take you through everything I’ve learned about 3D printing clear plastic over the past couple of years – including which materials can be printed clearly, and the steps you ... Read more
Print speed is one of the most important settings when 3D printing. It affects both print speeds and the quality of printed parts, and therefore the likelihood of errors and failures. The ... Read more
Resin printers are known for their fine detailing and high-resolution prints, and Anycubic has been a powerhouse in resin 3D printing for quite a few years now. As a household name in ... Read more
When considering a dive into the world of 3D printers, we often gravitate towards the cost of the printer itself. But, it’s also important to consider the 3D printing materials costs. Beyond ... Read more
