Hello makers, today is quite chilly. I've been busy with a lot of printing, including a purge bucket experiment. My printers are working hard on prototyping and design, yielding great results. More details on those soon! Meanwhile, I'm trying something new—an episode I've wanted to do for a while. Let's see how it goes, and your feedback will be invaluable. I often get asked by friends new to 3D printing which printer they should buy. Recently, one friend, hesitant to spend much, opted for the Ender 3. He later sent me photos of an issue he encountered. The first print was flawless, but the next showed signs of underextrusion. I suspected a nozzle clog, but he assured me no settings were changed in Cura, ruling out filament size issues. Despite trying to clean the nozzle with nylon filament, the problem persisted when he sought help on Facebook. It became clear his hob gear had slipped due to loose grub screws, causing the extrusion problem. After a quick fi

Welcome! If you're passionate about 3D printing and looking to turn it into a profitable venture, you're in the right place. I've been selling 3D prints and accessories online for three to four years, primarily on Etsy, where I've made nearly $90,000 in sales. In today's guide, I'll share my top five tips for selling 3D prints in 2024. 1. Choose the Right Platform While Etsy remains a dominant platform for selling 3D prints, don’t overlook other options: - eBay: Despite some challenges, many sellers find success here. It's worth experimenting to see if it suits your needs. - TikTok: This platform has exploded in popularity for direct sales. A viral video can lead to significant sales without needing a large following. - Facebook Marketplace: Ideal for local sales and networking, helping you connect with local businesses and makers. 2. Optimize Your Listings Ensure your listings are attractive and informative: - Photos and Videos: High-quality vis

Have you ever stumbled upon a new hobby and thought, "That's cool, I want to do that," but then realized you didn't have the time or commitment to fully dive in? For me, 3D printing was one of those interests. The idea of creating objects out of thin air was captivating. However, the process of learning to 3D model and fine-tune a printer seemed daunting and time-consuming. Then, one night, after a deep YouTube rabbit hole at 2 a.m., a sudden surge of motivation led me to purchase the Creality Ender 3 V2. It seemed like the perfect addition to my life, and surprisingly, it was. Setting it up was straightforward, even for a beginner like me. While 3D modeling takes time to master, I discovered vast libraries of free designs ready for download and printing. I printed various items, from a cool stationary cup to a memory card organizer, with minimal adjustments needed. The printer's ease of use exceeded my expectations, even though I encountered some chal

In this article, we will compare resin and FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printers to help you decide which technology is best suited for your needs. We'll spend the same amount of time and material to print a sample piece using both technologies and share the results. Hello, 3D printing enthusiasts! I'm Julie, your host for today's comparison between resin and FDM 3D printers. Here on our YouTube channel, we'll dive into the main features of each technology. By the end of this video, you'll have a clearer understanding of which 3D printer to choose. If you're new to 3D printing, this guide will simplify your decision-making process.

It involves using filament rolls made of various plastics like PLA, known for its ease of printing. The filament is fed into the printer, melted by a heating block,

Want a faster, more user-friendly 3D printing experience? The E3D Revo Rapid Change hotend is the perfect upgrade for your Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro or CR10 SE. Let's dive in! Why Upgrade to E3D Revo? A Closer Look Rapid Nozzle Changes: The Game-Changer The Revo system eliminates the need for hot tightening of nozzles. This reduces the risk of burns but mainly saves significant time. Experimenting with different nozzle sizes for varying line widths and print speeds becomes effortless. Switch easily between detail work and rapid prototyping. Improved Reliability and Safety E3D's Revo HeaterCore features a positive temperature coefficient (PTC). This means that as it gets hotter, its resistance increases. This built-in safety feature helps dramatically reduce the risk of thermal runaway. Nozzles are factory-sealed, eliminating potential leaks from poorly tightened nozzles. Precision Engineering for Stunning Prints E3D has a longstanding reputation for quality in t
