PETG Retraction Settings: Total 3D Printing Guide (Do This!)
PETG is a notoriously difficult 3D material. It has a high melting point, which means that it takes longer to cool down once printed. Material oozing from the nozzle during non-extrusion...
One of the most annoying issues when printing with PETG is finding the right speed balance. Technically, this material requires a low speed to achieve good results. Yet, too low printing can...
PETG is one of the most popular 3D printing filaments, but also one of the most challenging to work with. This material is highly hygroscopic and notorious for stringing and blobbing if you can’t...
ABS is one of the 3D printing materials most notorious for warping. This defect can single-handedly ruin your otherwise perfect prints, so knowing how to prevent it can help you avoid the loss of...
Whether you want to use more colors for your model or combine different materials, you can change the filament mid-print with Cura. To change filament mid-print on an Ender 3: Slice the model...
