I recently picked up 3D printing as a hobby. It almost feels unreal to be able to print pretty much any object I want to.

So here's my problem: I want to change to a .6mm nozzle but when I do it appears that while the spacing of the paths the slicer makes assumes a .6mm line width the amount extruded is woefully ...

Researchers repurpose a mosquito’s proboscis for 3D necroprinting, offering a lower-cost and biodegradable alternative to ...

When the 3D printer gives up, don’t wait for the experts. Here are solutions to the most common problems: layers failing to attach, stringing, and overheating. Sometimes there isn’t the time or money ...

Necrobotics is a field of engineering that builds robots out of a mix of synthetic materials and animal body parts. It has produced micro-grippers with pneumatically operated legs taken from dead ...

3D printers have come a long way over the past several years, but the process of bed leveling remains a pain point. Let’s take a look at the different ways the problem has been tackled, and whether ...

Researchers at MIT have used 3D printing to open the door to low-cost, scalable, and consistent generation of microencapsulated particles, at a fraction of the time and cost usually required.

Imagine having the ability to digitally print the impossible with sub-micrometer precision, on any material and at scale. A spin-off out of ETH Zurich has done just that. Walter Braun, chief operating ...
