The next time you find yourself in need of some large-ish plastic springs, maybe consider [PattysLab]’s method for making plastic springs out of spare filament. The basic process is simple: tightly ...

Most 3D printers come with a pretty basic filament holder — often little more than a bar to hang the spool on. [Ivan Miranda]’s 3D printers run bigger spools than most, though, so he had to craft an ...

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printers have evolved from a time sink gimmick to sophisticated additive manufacturing equipment that sits on a user's desk. There's no longer a need for multiple ...

The world of 3D printing is constantly evolving, and with the increasing focus on sustainability, innovative solutions like the Artme3D MK2 3D print recycler and filament maker are taking center stage ...

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 ...

D printers are complex machines with lots of moving parts. When any of these problems start showing up, repairs may no longer ...
