Still using the same basic plastic for all your 3D prints? Discover the ultimate upgrades you actually need for stronger, ...

We’re not sure what a typical weekend at [Walter]’s house is like, but we can probably safely assume that any activity taking place is at minimum accompanied by the hum of a 3D printer somewhere in ...

Print's weak, spools are heavy.

Some FDM filaments are pretty brittle even if properly dried and stored, especially those which contain carbon fiber (CF) or similar additives like glass fiber (GF). This poses a problem in that these ...

After you pick a 3D printer, the first decision you'll have to make is what type of filament you want to use. Look deep enough, and you'll see several dozen varieties—even setting aside the numerous ...

Nature is replete with slender filaments that bend and coil—from climbing grape vines, to folded proteins, to elephant trunks that can pick up a peanut but also take down a tree.

Researchers have developed a 3D printing strategy to create programmable artificial muscles. Harvard’s SEAS ...

Here’s another project with the worthy ultimate aim of repurposing household plastic waste as useful 3D filament for making new stuff with your home 3D printer. Both the Strooder and the Filabot are ...
