Bridging in 3D printing refers to building up a solid layer between two points, without any support from below. Since the material extruded in FDM printing is melted thermoplastic, it’s easy to...

Three-dimensional printing can be tedious, especially if you use an FDM printer. The melting, extruding, and cooling of filament takes time, and you might wonder what are the mysteries of rapid...
If you want to print complicated parts, it can require a significant amount of technical know-how and experimentation. Interlocking parts, especially those that have to move after you put them...
Anyone with a 3D printer will eventually end up with an ugly, sagging mess – after a 3D print failed and gravity did its work on an overhang. Overhangs, or prints without anything directly...
3D printers allow you to maximize your usage of materials and print time versus model strength and appearance by setting wall thickness to whatever you want. The shell or outer walls are the...
If you’re new to 3D printing or trying to customize your printer for the first time, a new nozzle is probably one of the first things you’ll look at. Extrusion nozzles can start at as little...
