Hear ye, hear ye! The future is in Open Beta Bed-leveling to get that perfect first layer. Then, there are temperature towers, stringing tests, and bridging challenges. All so that we can get the best out of our 3D printers. The amount of wasted filament and time is enough to ... Read More »
Artillery Sidewinder had a baby and clothed in it Blue – the Artillery Genius is born! Over the past year, Artillery / Evnovo has quickly made a name for itself by offering a competitor to the wildly popular CR-10, CR10S, CR10S Pro. Their spin? Artillery threw in several new tricks ... Read More »
MakerBot workstation is a universal leader in the industry of 3D printing. It started the METHOD X. There is an industrial workstation planned to encounter the traditional work with ABS. It is a 100°C compartment, and a Stratasys SR-30. They also maintain delivery of the dimensional precision and accuracy for ... Read More »
Have you always dreamed of owning a supercar? Well, why not 3D print yourself one! This is exactly what Sterling Backus decided to do by 3D printing a Lamborghini Aventador with the help of his son. Using inspiration from the video game, Forza Horizon 3, the chassis was designed, and ... Read More »
Polycarbonate is the strongest 3D printer filament presented in this list, it is extremely durable and resistant to both physical impact and heat. PC is able to withstand temperatures of up to 110°C. With it also being transparent, this explains why it is used in commercial items such as, bullet proof glass, scuba ... Read More »
TPE ( thermoplastic elastomers) is plastics with rubber-like qualities, making them extremely flexible and durable. TPE is commonly found in automotive parts, household appliances. Soft and stretchable, these filaments can withstand punishment that neither ABS or PLA can to handle. On the other hand, TPE can be difficult to extrude not the easiest filament to use. ...

Nylon a popular family of synthetic polymers, that are used in many industrial applications. Compared to most other 3D printer filament types. This filament ranks as the number one contender when together considering strength, flexibility, and durability. Another unique characteristic of this filament is that you can dye it, either before or after the printing ... Read More »
PETG is best known as the polymer used in water bottles, it is also found in clothing fibres and food containers. ‘G’ in PETG stands for “glycol-modified”, this makes the filament clearer, less brittle, and most importantly it is easier to use. This is often considered a good middle ground between ... Read More »
ABS filament (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is actually moderately superior to PLA, despite being slightly more difficult to print with. Products made of ABS boast high durability and a capacity to withstand high temperatures. Keep in mind the filament’s high printing temperature has a tendency to warp during cooling, and intense fumes. If you are using this ... Read More »
