3D Printing is becoming more sensitive to plastic pollution that is created while printing the objects. To overcome this thing we need to do the recycling of 3D filament from waste plastic and failed 3D prints. The biggest environmental issue. What comes along with 3D Printing is the leftover plastic filament or spool after printing…
As you continue to model and 3D print various objects, you’ll find that many of them will need support structures to hold the design up. The more complex the object is, the more crucial it is to design a good support structure. However, on some occasions, you may find your support fails to do its…
We all know that designing and printing a 3d model is not an easy task. 3d printing involves different stages and processes of designing and printing. 3d designers use different software, different print in materials and printers, and sometimes most of them using a different printing technology suited to the product or item they’re printing. So…
The 3D Printing Problem– Your print may start out looking fine but as it progresses, you notice a shift in between the layers. It looks similar to a step and this effect is known as a layer shift. It may be subtle or could end up ruining your print entirely! So to overcome this troubleshooting…
The 3D Printing Problem- Your 3d print may have seemed successful while printing it but once it’s finished you notice gaps and holes in the outer layers. This is known as pillowing and though it is frustrating after spending hours on a print, there are some easy ways to prevent it from happening again! How…
Let’s be honest- 3D printing isn’t as easy as it looks. Especially if you’re a beginner, there are many problems that you will encounter but that shouldn’t stop you from pushing on. One of the most common 3D printing problems that we face is when your print stops right in the middle and you’re left…
The problem: You’re trying to print a design but whatever you try, nothing comes out of the nozzle. Removing and reinserting the filament doesn’t work as well. Why is it happening A small piece of filament has been left behind previously in the nozzle after changing spools, often when the filament has snapped off at…
Today we will continue with our topic on “troubleshooting guide to 19 common 3D printing problems”, and provide practicable solutions for you 3D printing hobbyists! 3D Printing Problems #10: Over-Extrusion What’s the 3D Printing Problem? Over-extrusion means that the printer supplies more material than needed. This results in excess material on the outside of the…
