Basically it has to be noted here that it is not really worth to model threads for 3D printing in plastic. 
Sure, there are plugins for many CADs, so that you can model threads, but the only method I would try is 3D printing in metal. But I suppose…
Unfortunately an error crept into my new filament calculator, which led to the fact that I included invisible fields in the calculation, which led to strange results. I was able to fix that now and hope you’ll send me more feedback about the filament calculator.
If you print a lot of 3D, you surely know the problem that you want to run a job, but you don’t know if there is still enough filament in the printer. All slicer software I know adds a comment line in the gCode file with the expected length in…
I came across a very interesting article on one of my favourite websites (https://hackaday.com/2018/11/01/adaptive-layer-height-on-the-monoprice-select-mini/) came across a very interesting article about the possibility of Cura to generate variable, (adaptive), layer heights. We know that an FDM print with 0.3mm layer height is printed much faster than a print with 0.1mm. But…
Photo by Eiliv Sonas Aceron on Unsplash Recently, Google+ in the 3D printing community raised the question of how it is possible to produce food-compatible 3D prints, as some FDA-certified 3D printing material is now available. I thought about it and came to the conclusion that the first thing I would do…
Even if it was quiet here, and no one has heard from me, I have never really been away. It just happened a lot in the meantime and I did a lot of other things and didn’t find the time to blog anymore. Now I want to change that again….
