One of the most curious things we can do with our 3D printers is make what are known as lithophanes. The technique is nothing new and has been around for quite some time. Still, machining tools and, later, the rise of 3D printing seem to have brought it back to life. For those of you who don’t know what lithophanes ...

Today we will begin our article talking about an essential component in all our printers called nozzle. Inside our nozzle is where the melting of our filaments is carried out and the point of extraction of the same, to then be deposited on our construction platform. And one of the most important aspects will be the choice of it, always ...

Currently, the vast majority of 3D printer manufacturers offer us the filament detection function (or lack of it, to be more precise) as something common. This means that when our spool of filament runs out, Marlin automatically stops the current job and offers us the ability to insert another spool without losing our current impression. And although most printers already ...

The integration with its own brand’s printers is obvious (fine-tuned profiles, Prusa Connect, ...

About a month ago we published an interesting article about The 10 most interesting Octoprint plugins (and how to install them). Among all the plugins that we mentioned in this article, there was one quite interesting that allowed us to visualize a 3D mesh of our printing surface. Its name was Bed Level Visualizer and it was certainly illustrative when ...
