D Filament Profiles attempts to standardize and track 3D printer filament inventories, and that could simplify FFF 3D ...

Your 3D printer's hotend affects far more than most people realize, and ignoring it can quietly wreck print quality.

Despite being a readily-available source of useful plastic, massive numbers of disposable bottles go to waste every day. To remedy this problem (or take advantage of this situation, depending on your ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Once more afraid* to leave the front door, I was messing with some sample filament spools I bought from UK firm Filamentive – which sells only filament with a high recycled content. These are loose ...

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 ...

If you frequently use a 3D printer for your projects then you may experience issues calculating the material weight and length usage. If so, then you might be interested in this project using Arduino.
