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, ...

D Filament Profiles attempts to standardize and track 3D printer filament inventories, and that could simplify FFF 3D ...

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 ...
