An overview of ten types of multicolor 3D prints where AMS, MMU, or a toolchanger really make sense. The article presents practical models, slicer tips, and ways to reduce waste during filament changes.
Failed prints, supports, and purge towers from multicolor printing are useful only if you sort them right next to the printer. Separate PLA, PETG, and PS, keep the material clean, and treat home filament production as a demanding project rather than a quick waste solution.
Recycled PLA and PETG filament can be a practical, more eco-friendly choice if it comes from clean manufacturing waste and the manufacturer provides specific data. This article covers the differences from regular filament, suitable uses, limitations, and printing tips.
PLA is often described as an environmentally friendly and biodegradable material. In practice, however, an ordinary 3D print will not break down in garden compost or mixed waste. This article explains when it makes sense to talk about industrial composting and how to handle failed prints more responsibly.
A practical guide for hobbyist makers: when recycled PLA or PETG is worthwhile, how refill filament works, what to expect from colors, and when a standard spool is the better choice.
A practical guide to 3D printing waste: how to sort PLA and PETG, why purge towers and supports generally do not belong in regular recycling, what to reuse at home and when a home extruder or recycling service is worthwhile.
Moisture from the air can easily damage 3D printing filament, which can also affect the quality of your prints. Find out how to dry filament properly! All filaments used in fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing are hygroscopic. That is a complicated way of saying that the material likes to absorb moisture. This hygroscopicity can cause problems with filaments. As plastic polymers, they are […]
