Category: About Filaments

Filament comes in two sizes of different diameters or thickness. They are either 1.75mm or 2.85mm. A 3D printer will therefore use one or the other. Generally, a 1.75mm printer cannot use a 2.85mm...

ABS is one of several filaments that has quick absorption of moisture. ABS, Nylon, PVA, and certain types of flexible filaments absorb moisture quicker than PLA for example.

PLA filament can last up to three years after it’s been unsealed. In most cases, it can be used for much longer provided it is stored away from moisture or direct sunlight.

There is no specific time limit as to how long you can pause your 3D printer. You can pause it as long as you choose. However, you need to keep your 3D print in place to ensure that the printing...

Also, when a 3D print process is complete, you need to ensure that you leave the printer to cool down sufficiently for a period of 5-10 minutes before separating the 3D print from the base. If this...

3D printed items are safe for kids and babies if produced properly. The safety of a 3d printed items depends on the toxicity of the material used, the design, and the strength of the final product....
