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.
A practical guide to choosing filament for outdoor 3D printing. PLA is mainly suitable for prototypes and short-term parts, PETG is a good compromise for the garden and balcony, and ASA is the best choice for direct sunlight, higher temperatures, and car accessories.
A practical guide to recognizing damp filament in summer, when to dry PLA, PETG or nylon, and how to store spools in dry conditions so that surface quality, strength and material changes are not affected.
Nylon filament is suitable for functional parts that need to withstand friction, impacts, and repeated stress. PA6 offers high performance, PA12 easier printing, and PA-CF stiffness and improved dimensional stability. The key is proper drying, dry storage, and a suitable nozzle.
Practical ideas for what to print on a 3D printer: organizers, holders, repairs, workshop aids, outdoor parts, and advice on when to choose PLA, PETG, ASA, or TPU.
Wet filament causes popping at the nozzle, stringing, bubbles, a poorer surface, and weaker layers. Find out when a filament dryer makes sense, which parameters to look for when choosing one, and why the Creality Space Pi is a practical choice for standard PLA, PETG, TPU, and engineering materials.
A practical comparison of carbon-fiber composite filaments: when to choose PETG-CF, ASA-CF, PA6-CF or PAHT-CF and what to watch out for when printing.
Not sure whether to print with PLA, PETG, or ASA? This practical comparison explains when to choose easy-to-print PLA, more durable PETG, and when demanding ASA is worthwhile for outdoor parts.
Wet filament often looks like incorrectly set retraction, but the cause is usually in the material. This article explains the symptoms in PLA, PETG, TPU, and nylon, when a drybox with silica gel is enough, and when an active dryer or AMS with active drying is worthwhile.
Carbon fiber-filled, glow-in-the-dark, and other filled filaments can quickly wear out a brass nozzle. In this article, we explain when to choose a hardened nozzle, why a 0.6 mm diameter often makes sense, and how to adjust the profile for PLA-CF, PETG-CF, or PA-CF.
Two nozzles are not just for impressive multimaterial printing. With ordinary FDM prints, they mainly help with supports: cleaner bottom surfaces, less waste, faster material switching, and a lower risk of damaging the finished part.
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 […]
