Color gradient filament is fun stuff to play with. It lets you make 3D prints that slowly fade from one color to another along the Z-axis. [David Gozzard] wanted to do some printing with this effect, ...

In this video, we explore seven lesser-known, unique 3D printer filaments. The discussion includes the material characteristics of each filament, their strengths and weaknesses, and their printability ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

If you're waiting until November 28 to pick yourself up a Black Friday 3D printer deal, you don't need to wait patiently for the discounts to begin, because there's no harm in preparing ahead of time ...

If this machine had hit the shelves just a few months ago, it would have gone straight to the top of our best 3D printers list. It's absolutely superb. However, in the wings are the new multitool ...

I'm staring right now at a printer that works about one-third of the time. And even then, it's a crapshoot -- it's likely to jam or fail to print in color without streaking. Why am I keeping it? A ...

Scientists at EPFL have reimagined 3D printing by turning simple hydrogels into tough metals and ceramics. Their process allows multiple infusions of metal salts that form dense, high-strength ...

It’s little secret that stepper motors are everywhere in FDM 3D printers, but there’s no real reason why you cannot take another type of DC motor like a brushless DC (BLDC) motor and use that instead.

It's been a big weekend for all sorts of cosplayers with MCM ComicCon and EGX in London, and the turnout of people rocking up ...

Using his background in 3D printing, Tao now creates meticulously designed, 4.5-inch custom doors—each one a subtle, physical ...
