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 »
3D printing with Nylon seems to be one of those things that the 3D printing community doesn’t talk about much. Admittedly there was a learning curve to getting a successful print. However, once I got it dialed it, I believe it prints just as good as PLA with the advantage ... Read More »
Introduction Sometimes, PLA just isn’t enough. Typically the next step from here is either PETG or ABS. What if you need something just a bit stronger, flexible, and easy to print? You’re probably looking at some sort of nylon. If that’s the case.. you should take a strong look at ... 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 »
