Despite being a readily-available source of useful plastic, massive numbers of disposable bottles go to waste every day. To ...

3D printing with pellet extruders versus with filament Discover more videos on JEC Composites Web TV. Pellets for industrial 3D printing explained Let’s dive into the mechanics of pellet printing ...

The extruder is designed to work with most stepper-based (a type of motor) 3D desktop printers. If your printer uses regular plastic filament, it will probably work just fine with the Discov3ry.

We toured several 3D Printer factories, including Prusa Research, Printed Solid, Printerior, and ProtoPasta, to learn how 3D Printing filament is made.

The plastics used in 3D printing, in fact, can be melteddown and re-extruded without a significant loss of material. Thisis what Felfil Evo domestic filament extruder is for.

At its core, the MK2 is designed to efficiently convert dried, shredded 3D print waste into fresh filament, ready for immediate reuse in new projects. The kit’s user-friendly features include: ...

If you frequently use a 3D printer for your projects then you may experience issues calculating the material weight and length usage. If so, then you might be interested in this project using Arduino.

Ground plastic bits go in one end, finished 3D-prints come out the other. That’s the idea behind [HomoFaciens]’ latest build: a direct-extrusion 3D-printer. And like all of his builds, … ...

As I mentioned above, cheap filament can clog or jam your extruder and affect the outcome of the print if low-quality or "dirty" raw materials are used in its manufacture. The term "dirty raw ...

Protocycler was created to answer both problems. Currently on Indiegogo (where it's already reached its $70,000 funding goal), the device recycles old 3D printing material into new filament for ...
