Empty spools from 3D printer filament are the kind of thing that begs to be repurposed, and one option is [3d-printy]’s vertical filament spool parts drawer design. The way this solution works is by ...

Plastic waste is a big problem in our world today. It's important for makers who use 3D printing technology (which generates plastic objects) to consider the waste hierarchy paradigm. Here's the thing ...

3D printing pens may be toys to some, but they can be genuinely useful tools to repair 3D prints, rescue a support structure, or weld together different pieces. However, [BManx2000] found that the way ...

3D printing enthusiasts searching for an affordable way to keep their 3D printing filament dry to produce the best 3D prints possible. Maybe interested in the new PrintDry Filament Dryer 2.0. Watch ...

There are many factors that determine how well a 3D printer prints. While many of them involve tuning and tweaking the actual 3D printer itself, the filament you print with may be one of the most ...

Ordinarily, when using an off-the-shelf 3D printer, it's quite difficult to print a single object that incorporates multiple materials. An experimental new system could make it easier, though, by ...

3D printing enthusiasts interested being able to monitor just how much 3D printing filament they have left on their spools. Might be interested in an new Arduino project that allows you to easily see ...

Like most 3D printing enthusiasts, I started out thinking that a filament dryer was a must-have accessory. Humidity can ruin a spool faster than you'd expect, and I've seen firsthand how wet filament ...

FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printers, better known as filament 3D printers, come in a wide range of models, at a wide range of prices, with many different features. Whether you're new to 3D ...

Elegoo has confirmed that full color printing is coming to the Centauri Series of FDM 3D printers by the third quarter of 2025. The highly anticipated Automatic Filament Switching System will be the ...
