I spent entirely way too much time trying to get one of these style extruders on my Ender 3. Maybe I picked a knock off without realizing it, maybe mine was just defective, I'm not entirely sure....
I have some Fiberology PA12+CF15 blend (link) from a long time ago and recently got around to using it. I am amazed to say the least! It prints easier than PETG, even without an enclosure. Only downside is that it is much more expensive per kg, although it is lower density so I don't seem to be going through it as quickly as...
I love it when I have a problem and I can just go fix that with an hour of designing and testing and have a working solution printed for the next day. Just so satisfying. This is why I love this hobby....
Assistive tech for people that have trouble holding forks/spoons/etc. Made from my favorite lesser known material, polyhydroxyalkanoates, which is fully biodegradable in any biome. Anyone else making AT for people?
I hope the 3D Printing community welcomes other CNC tools. This is a project I made on my custom-built laser table, utilizing "Living Hinges" aka "Torsion Lattice Hinges". They're a really neat mechanism that allows for a variety of different arrays or "lattices" of shapes that facilitate bending--and of-course these can also be...
The #3DBenchy model usually capsizes in water, but I found that with the right slicer settings, it will actually float upright: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6076719
This system can be adjusted and securely locked in place. This example is a M42 2mmp. A printed tool fits the clamp collar outer spline to adjust tension on a bicycle crank while the base is attached to the crank spindle....
Here's a close up picture of the print itself: https://imgur.com/a/flJjhGs. It's printed in PETG with 40% infill. I printed it first in PLA, but then it snapped immediately (thankfully not on my face). The only reason why I didn't use PETG from the get go was that I actually didn't know you could print it without an enclosure....
So tried out some PETG for the first time, and the first couple prints went really well. but I believe it's picked up quite a bit of moisture, sitting in the basement....
Hi, I am totally new to 3D printing and want to have a printer. Budget is 400€. My background is computer science and programming and I want to be able to hack the device if I want but it should work fine OOTB (or with minimal effort). Which device would you guys suggest to me?
Still going through my included bottle of resin, they sent me flesh color. This is my first venture into resin printing. Ive been FDM printing for years now, have a few Ender 3s....
