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...
Is 3D Printing A Design Revolution Or An Intellectual Property Nightmare?
If 3D printing allows you to copy a design and reproduce something without providing compensation to the original creator, does this make it an act of piracy?
The ability of a material to float is partly determined by its density or how heavy it is relative to how big it is (mass multiplied by its volume). For a material to float it must be less dense than...
As important as supports may be, most makers would prefer to print without them if they could. This is because supports add to the material used, increase the amount of post-processing you need to...
