In this article we troubleshoot printing the first layer and answer questions about inaccurate tolerances in a fused filament fabrication process. The following article is a continuation of our series ...

It is a fact of life that 3D printed parts from an FDM (fused deposition modeling) printer have weaknesses where the layers join. Some of this is due to voids and imperfect layer bonding, but you can ...

We’ve seen FDM printers lay down layers by extruding plastic in a line. We’ve seen printers use sintering and lithography to melt or cure one layer at a time before more print medium moves into place ...

Is your 3D printer just collecting dust? We've uncovered 4 functional tools you can print right now that would help you ...
