In the experiments, he used the smaller RS1 (€36.25 a piece) for a single spool container, and the larger MDL-3 (€169) with a Bambu Lab AMS multi-spool unit. Normally such an AMS has three big ...

There has been a lot of activity from [Richard Horne] regarding 3D printing filaments lately; most recently he has shared two useful designs for upping one’s filament storage and monitoring game. The ...

I wanted to see if I could build my own filament dryer using a simple 4l food container, a heater, and some electronics powered by a NodeMCU that I programmed myself. In this video I walk you through ...

The phase of filament drying is critical yet frequently neglected in 3D printing. The presence of moisture in the filament can cause problems with the print’s quality, including bubbles, distortions, ...

Plastic waste is a big problem in our world today. It's important for makers who use 3D printing technology (which generates plastic objects) to consider the waste hierarchy paradigm. Here's the thing ...

Once more afraid* to leave the front door, I was messing with some sample filament spools I bought from UK firm Filamentive – which sells only filament with a high recycled content. These are loose ...
