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 ...

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 ...

After previously putting carbon fiber-reinforced PLA filament under the (electron) microscope, the [I built a thing] bloke is ...

3D printing enthusiasts searching for an affordable way to keep their 3D printing filament dry to produce the best 3D prints possible. Maybe interested in the new PrintDry Filament Dryer 2.0. Watch ...

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 ...

Ordinarily, when using an off-the-shelf 3D printer, it's quite difficult to print a single object that incorporates multiple materials. An experimental new system could make it easier, though, by ...

A new 2025 review identifies several bulk 3D printer filament options that combine affordability with reliable print quality, addressing growing demand from hobbyists, educational users, and small ...

There are many factors that determine how well a 3D printer prints. While many of them involve tuning and tweaking the actual 3D printer itself, the filament you print with may be one of the most ...
