Is filtering resin necessary after each 3D print? Learn the benefits of filtering and how often it should be done.

Always remove filament after printing to protect it from moisture and dust, which can affect the quality of prints. Store it properly in an airtight container.

ABS is harder to sand than PLA because of its denser nature. PLA is softer and easier to sand with fine grit sandpaper.

Printing ABS at too high temp causes issues like stringing, sagging, poor surface quality, and toxic fumes. Best temp range is 210-260°C to ensure proper melting without burning.

It is best to print PLA at a temperature of 210°C (410°F) to avoid damage to the printer or filament. Follow manufacturer’s advice for safe and successful 3D printing.

Resin has become a potential substitute for the lost-wax casting method. But can you use 3D printer resin for casting and expect precision, reliability, and safety?

The object is created by adding material layer by layer until it is complete. However, you can use various materials to create something with 3D printing.

Wet 3D printer filaments can jam your hotend, extruder, or nozzle, and some may be in an unusable condition. So, what is the best humidity for storing 3D printer filament?

Along with thermoplastics, liquid resin is one of the most popular 3D printing materials. Its properties allow it to produce unique prints, and its resistance to melting is one such property.

There are ways to harden your ABS prints after peeling them off the print bed that will drastically improve the durability and appearance of your 3D printed objects.
