The inventiveness of 3D designers and simple enthusiasts is unlimited when it comes to using 3D technology to give shape to interesting and inventive objects.
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.

In my previous part I shared my own experience in 3D printing. I have already tell you about Model Positioning and first three Slicer parameters.
In this part I would like to describe one of the most important Slicer’s parameter.

Hello guys!
I would like to make your life easier, that is why I decided to share my experience!
The story is dedicate to all home 3D printers’ owners, who use ABS and PLA materials. Those who have novolescence printers – your model will be cool without any advice, that’s for sure 😉
I want to share my first experience in 3D printing, if to be precise it was 3D printable file of Video game scale model, designed by Gambody Team.
Software used was also provided by those guys – Repetier-Host Gambody, and I’m happy to share my thoughts here. I made my fare share of mistakes, but it was all made for the sake of tests, and now I’m ready to save your time 🙂
3D Printed Houses come into reality
If you could print anything you want with your 3D printer, what would it be? A human? A car? And maybe a house? Recently the ambitious plan of some Dutch lovers of 3D technology came in action and pretty soon a 3D printed house in Amsterdam will be welcoming its guests. Since it will be located near one of the Amsterdam canals it’s called 3D Print Canal House.

4 reasons why 3D printed toys are better than ordinary ones
In the childhood plenty of us dreamt of a special machine, which could create as many toys as we wanted. It took some time for this child dream to come true and now your kids can have this magic machine, which we (adults) prefer to call 3D printer.
Growing popularity of home 3D printers is going to totally change toys industry, since there are so many reasons why 3D printed toys are much better than ordinary ones.
3D Printed Prosthetics – future of medicine
Many people percept 3D printing technologies only as another toy designed to entertain and create plenty of neat and funny cups, stands or action figures. But in fact there are many ways of using 3D printers for the good of mankind. One of them has already proved to be quite efficient and, what’s more important, cheap – we are talking about 3D prosthetics.

3D printer will take its place in every house
We can rightfully claim that the future inventors and science fiction writers wrote about has finally come. 3D design makes so many things possible that the boundaries of this industry are really hard to imagine. It can be used in so many spheres starting from production of goods for kitchen or studying and ending with medical and art fields. It wouldn’t take long and 3D printer will take its place in every house and will become as usual device as TV-set or fridge.
We have launched made in home beta version.
We have launched online facilities that allow you to sell and buy 3D printing items from creative designers from all over the world and print them at home.
