Oozing in a 3D printer nozzle generally produces prints where instead of solid plastic, there is hairy, spider web, or stringy plastic. This is why oozing is sometimes called stringing. Oozing is...

What 3D Printer Filament Is UV Resistant? (ASA, ABS, PETG, PLA)
Heat resistance is a necessary characteristic of 3D prints produced for outdoor use. ABS and ASA have high glass transition temperatures so will not melt in the sun. This makes them adequate...
Resolution in 3D printing is a measure of the level of detail in a 3D print. In this sense, it is similar to the resolution in an image. While resolution in image printing is measured in dots per...
Do You Have To Use Cooling & Ventilation Fan? (Printing With ABS)
Print cooling is not always necessary when 3D printing. It largely depends on the material used. When printing ABS, for example, it is common practice to either run the fan at low power or disable it...
Fume extractors actively remove the harmful particulates found in the fumes produced when filament is melted or resin cured. This reduces the risk of inhaling the particulates which can have...
Brims are supports used to improve the first layer adhesion of a 3D print as well as test the extrusion of material before printing the actual design. Along with other types of supports like rafts...
