A critical step in familiarizing yourself with SLA printers (or stereolithography) is learning how to operate the printers safely. While very useful in creating 3D prints and models with intricate...
There is a lot of information to sift through when it comes to 3-D printing, especially when it comes to first-layer settings. So, when I began my journey beyond the Cura recommended settings, I...
There are several popular types of 3d printers on the market today but Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is by far the most popular. With that said, let’s go over all the components that make up the...
As a 3d printer hobbyist, I have come across (and purchased) many types of 3d printers and 3d pens. In this article, I’m going to go over what a 3d pen is and compare them to a 3d printer. I will...
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a commonly used type of 3D printing. FDM 3D printers melt and expel thermoplastic filaments to construct three-dimensional designs. It prints a layer at a time, one...
