Most people start 3D printing with a simple question about print time, which usually leads to much more learning than expected. I went through the same journey and discovered that estimated times ...

Most slicer defaults are designed to “work” across a wide range of 3D printers, not to save you time, filament, or patience. If you print functional parts, organizers, or small household fixes, you ...

3D printing is all well and good for making low numbers of units, so long as they’re small enough to print in a reasonable time, but what if you want to go really big? Does a 35-hour print time sound ...

While 3D printing has provided a rapid platform for fabricating products in a way that is generally less time-consuming, it still has its drawbacks—one of the key ones being the amount of material ...

The trick to producing great 3D printing time-lapse animations is to ensure that the extruder has moved out of the frame each time a photo is taken — which usually requires OctoPrint to be controlling ...

When it comes to 3D printing, speed is the ultimate metric, and one research team in China has their print speeds down to less than a second.
