Chinese filament is very cheap now. I just ordered a batch of TPU filament, and it will take another 10 days to arrive by sea. I am looking forward to seeing its performance.
For special-shaped accessories that take a long time to arrive when ordered online, I opt for 3D printing. For example, when the handle of my pot broke, I scanned it with my phone, made slight modifications, and finally printed several with TPU filament. If there are any problems with the...
Great design. I recently found that bulk purchasing of PLA is more cost-effective, but I’m not ready to organize them yet. Your post was a great help in pointing me in the right direction.
Oh my God, that's a great idea. Is it made of PLA? And have you tried using other materials? I have four cats at home, so maybe we could also make some small balls for them.
I don't know exactly what type of item you want to print, but if it's for school use, it may not require high precision and speed for teaching supplies or work assistance. I don't think you need to choose a large resin printer, and resin filament are relatively expensive and expensive. PETG...
If you are not good at modeling, it is more convenient to directly download free models from free websites. Open3dModel is a website that I often use, and it also provides many file formats, such as Blender, 3ds Max, Obj, and STL. I have downloaded a model of an umbrella handle from here and...
Regarding the issue of printing speed using PETG, my experience is to print at a speed of 25mm/s on the first layer to better adhere the parts to the bed. Then print at a speed of 50mm/s, and if the effect is satisfactory, increase the speed to a maximum of 60mm/s, which saves more time.
Hello friend, UV radiation can cause PLA chains to break, thereby reducing their mechanical properties. Compared to PLA, PETG has better resistance to heat, UV radiation, and different types of solvents. My printer at home is relatively small, and I have only printed the support rod of a balcony...
I have also seen relevant information recently. Safety is the first issue, and the second is that it is too expensive. Recently, I have even started purchasing bulk PETG to reduce expenses:idunno
For beginners, I still recommend using FDM printers. I remember several brands have launched mini printers that are more flexible and easy to use, such as Creality and Bambu Lab, and now there are many choices of filament, including bulk filament, which will be cheaper. Good luck!
Hello, I am currently trying to make a desktop ornament of Master Yoda using PLA filament. the details are not fully depicted so far, but I am confident that I can succeed
Hey there, if your printer allows, set up a custom paper size that matches your card blanks exactly. This can help ensure that the printer knows exactly where to place the print.
