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.
Owning a 3D printer is worthwhile mainly for regular printing, rapid prototyping, and repeated small parts. For one-off jobs, special materials, and a finished result without the hassle, 3D printing on demand is usually the better option.
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.
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.
Moist filament for 3D printing can lead to failed prints. Fortunately, proper storage and drying can help prevent and solve this problem. Although this may not be obvious to a beginner, every experienced 3D printing enthusiast knows how important proper filament storage and drying are. Moisture in filament can significantly affect print quality. We explain […]
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 […]
