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 ...

I keep up with the trends in 3D printing reasonably well. The other day my friend mentioned that filament thickness sensing had been added to the latest version of the Marlin firmware. I had no idea ...

If you have had a 3D printer for awhile, you know the heartbreak of coming in to check on an 8-hour print only to find that in hour 7 you ran out of filament (or the filament broke) and your printer ...

Christopher Robertson has created a new 3D printer filament roller and feeder which offers an all-in-one IR sensor and alarm to detect all filament feeding errors automatically to help stop your ...

Purdue University researchers have developed a patent-pending method to add particles to filament and disperse them evenly through a traditional fused deposition modeling, or FDM, 3D printer, which ...

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.

Makers, hobbyists and 3D printing enthusiasts searching for a way to keep their printer filament in top condition might be interested in a new 3D printer filament dryer that has launched via ...

Purdue University researchers have developed a patent-pending method to add particles to filament and disperse them evenly through a traditional fused deposition modeling, or FDM, 3D printer, which ...

3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that turns a digital model file into a physical object. A 3D printed object is created by layering materials sequentially using additive processes ...
