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...
There are a number of ways to make a 3D print really come to life. Smoothing for example can take the rough edges out of your print and make it look more professional. But if there is one thing...
There are instances where it is necessary to cut away plastic for example to remove supports or any excess material. It could be your design might need to have holes or teeth as when designing a gear...
Post-processing a print involves among other things, smoothing it to remove layer lines and gaps to produce a better finish. It removes the “3D printed look” and makes it look more like an...
Can You Splice 3D Printer Filament? How To Join 3D Filaments!
Almost any material can be spliced together as long as both pieces are made from the same material. For example, you cannot splice ABS and PLA together. Splicing different brands of the same material...
The simplest way of removing tangles is to try to remove the knot without removing the entire roll of filament from its original spool. This involves less work and has less likelihood of creating...
