If one has a multi-material printer there are more options than simply printing in different colors of the same filament. [Thomas Sanladerer] explores combinations of different filaments in a fantastic …read more Continue reading Printing in Multi-material? Use These Filament Combos
Bambu Lab has released a new line of low-temperature build plates that look to be the next step in 3D printing’s iteration—or so YouTuber Printing Perspective thinks after reviewing one. The Cryogrip Pro is …read more Continue reading Putting the New CryoGrip Build Plate to the Test
What does it take to make decent tires for your projects? According to this 3D printed tire torture test, it’s actually pretty easy — it’s more a question of how …read more Continue reading 3D Printed Tires, by the Numbers
We’ve all heard stories of the dangers of 3D printing, with fires from runaway hot ends or dodgy heated build plates being the main hazards. But what about the particulates? …read more Continue reading New Study Looks at the Potential Carcinogenicity of 3D Printing
Ever needed a strong yet adhesive-free way to really stick PLA to glass? Neither have we, but nevertheless there’s a way to use aluminum foil and an IR fiber laser …read more Continue reading The Strangest Way to Stick PLA to Glass? With a Laser and a Bit of Foil
[Stefan] from CNC Kitchen explored an unusual approach to a multi-material print by making custom PLA filament with a TPU core to make it super-tough. TPU is a flexible filament …read more Continue reading 3D Printing in Custom PLA With a TPU Core
The global issue of plastic waste has prompted scientists to seek innovative solutions for recycling. Single-use plastics, notorious for their environmental impact, require new methods for efficient and sustainable management. …read more Continue reading Common Enzyme Breaks Down PLA Fast
When you set out to build a 60,000-volt power supply and find out that it “only” delivers a measly 50,000 volts, you naturally have to dive in and see where …read more Continue reading Lessons Learned from a High-Voltage Power Supply
The fundamental problem with multi-color 3D printing using a single hotend is that they poop an awful lot. Every time they change filaments, they’ve got to purge the single nozzle, …read more Continue reading Lessons in Printer Poop Recycling
Do you speak GAL? [Peterzieba] does, and has pulled together a collection of documents and tools so that you can too. There’s a dividing line in electronic engineering education, between …read more Continue reading Using 5V Programmable Logic Here In The 2020s
