New SUNLU Filament Dryer Review: Filadryer S2 2023 Edition
The quality of 3D prints often drops when cold and wet weather arrives. High humidity in the air, rain, snow, and storms eventually negatively affect your 3D printing materials. For example, some filaments absorb moisture, resulting in failed prints, and that’s when a good filament dryer comes in handy. Let’s unbox and review the new SUNLU filament dryer, Filadryer S2, to see how this small device can dry PLA, ABS, PETG, and other plastics and help you 3D print outstanding models.
Different Types of 3D Printer Resin for Miniatures and Big Models
With the growing number of budget printers, hobbyists can create more detailed and precise-looking projects by 3D printing resin models at an affordable price. Unlike with FDM filament, choosing resins can be tricky. Having different bottles doesn’t mean you can’t mix them, mainly because you’re dealing with liquids rather than solid filaments. The variety of 3D printer resin types can look confusing, ranging from water-washable to heat-resistant. Still, it is incredible to understand them and learn to mix resins to create the best outcome.
Fantastic 3D Printing Experiments by a Hobbyist: Interview with Crazyfilament
Those people who are in love with 3D printing know that this industry can be rather expensive. You have to buy a printer, filament, model STL files, paints before you can craft something outstanding. Since it costs much money to make figurines and miniatures, not many enthusiasts are willing to perform 3D printing experiments and test various filament types on multiple 3D printers.
A Guide to 3D Printing Filaments: Part 2. Nylon vs PET vs PVA/HIPS
This is the second part of a two-series article on the most popular 3D printing filaments in which we will analyze such building materials as nylon, PET, PVA/HIPS. Last week we started analyzing general and technical properties of most commonly used filaments for home-based 3D printers, such as ABS and PLA filaments.
A Guide to Choosing the Right 3D Printing Filament: ABS vs PLA Part 1.
In this article we will analyze the different types of 3D printing materials to help you make a correct decision when in search of the best 3D printing filament for your future printing project.
