Nowadays, desktop 3D printers that come with 2 extruders are more powerful and affordable. (the latest A10M is available for merely $259 after a discount, with an upgraded motherboard/LCD/Frame). Still, many, especially beginners are intimidated by those dual extrusion systems. In light of this, I am presenting to you this step-by-step guide to dual extruder…
Our team here at Geeetech has recently run a series of tests on our 3D FDM Printers-A10 and A10 Pro. To challenge their limits and capabilities, we printed the classic 3D Benchy, the 80°Overhang Model, and the PolyPearl Tower Torture Test Model. 3D Printer Test Models 3D Benchy The 3D Benchy model is probably the most…
3D printing can present all sorts of problems. Whether you are a newbie or an expert, chances are you are constantly tweaking a bit here and a bit there just to get the desired results. There are, however, a number of things you can do to get around some common issues in 3D printing and…
In memory of the great Leonardo Da Vinci (April 15, 1452 — May 2, 1519), the Shanghai 3D Painting Cultural Museum presented one of his best known artworks–the Mona Lisa.With an overall size of 4550mm*3500mm*45mm, it is the largest 3D-printed pixel painting in the world. In the creation of the massive Mona Lisa, staff at the museum turned the image into pixels which…
In FDM 3D printing, sometimes the nozzle may deposit unwanted plastic on the printed part where it is not supposed to while the extruder is traveling to a new point; the plastic then cools and sticks to the object, making it look hairy and unsightly. 3D printing stringing can be a common problem especially if…
Just like any other equipment, 3D printers also require good care and regular maintenance to produce top-notch results. Compared to traditional printers, 3D printers are easier to operate and maintain. This article will discuss how to perform routine maintenance on your 3D printer.

Every chicken has his day ! KFC’s efforts to make fried chicken nuggets, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, are likely to eliminate the need for broilers to die in the future. KFC announced a partnership with Russian 3D Bioprinting Solutions to produce the first-ever artificial fried chicken using chicken cells and plant ingredients,…
Layer shifting, in other words, known as layer misalignment, is when the layers of the print are not properly aligned, and the print can be unsightly(mostly a failure). It is a common issue in 3D printing and can be tricky, especially if you are a newbie. This article will walk you through the possible causes…
