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...
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...
Layer separation is when there is poor adhesion between the layers in your print. In most cases you can fix layer separation issues by adjusting settings like the temperature, print speed or layer...
