Can You 3D Print With A ( Glowforge ) Laser Printer? (Comparison)
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...
It is possible to 3D print Lego-compatible bricks using a 3D printer. You will need a 3D printer, a suitable filament , and a 3D model of the Lego brick. While 3D printed Legos may not have the same...
