Beginners Ultimate Guide To Learning About And Teaching 3D Printing

Painting a PETG print is a commonly used way to make it more weather-resistant. Adding a splash of paint has the double advantage of making it look better and protecting it from the elements,...

While 3D printing continues to grow at a steady pace, it still has a few shortcomings. In this guide, we explore some of those shortcomings by comparing 3D printing against traditional manufacturing...

Glowforges are subtractive CNC machines. Laser cutting is one of several types of subtractive manufacturing where material is cut from a solid block to get the desired part. 3D printers on the other...

The simplest fix for an extruder clogged with filament is to first try to physically push the filament out. This can be done using a wire, needle, or any other material solid and thin enough to fit...

Clogging happens when material or the filament itself blocks the nozzle or the Bowden/PTFE tube of a 3D printer. While it also happens with regular filaments like PLA and ABS, clogging is more...

Wax for 3D printing is a material with similar properties to standard wax. 3D printing wax is known as a castable filament. These are filaments that can be used to cast a mold from which an item is...
