Flexible Filament When people think of 3D printing they think of parts or objects made using rigid (stiff) materials. It’s natural since we associate the word ‘plastic’ with rigid objects like water bottle, drinking cups, spoons and mice (the computer kind) to name a few. But 3D printing filaments also comes in flexible varieties called
3D Printing Strength Once a designer has created a model to be 3D printed we need to determine how strong the model needs to be. Generally this is determined by how the model will be used. Perhaps the model is statue that sits on a table. In this case strength is not critical. Perhaps the

Design for 3D Printing – Orientation In a prior blog I wrote about overhangs, the problems they present and how to avoid them. If you haven’t read that I suggest you start there first and then come back here. The “print orientation” of a 3D printed part is very important as it determines the plane

Design For 3D Printing – Overhangs It would be nice if every model were easy to 3D print, but the fact is that some models are easier to print than others. Today we’ll look at one of the challenges when printing a 3D model – overhangs. 3D printers deposit filament (plastic) in thin, horizontal layers. The

3D Printing Materials (PLA PETG ABS) – What to choose and when to use 3D printers use a process called Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM for short). FDM is a process by which a thin strand of plastic is forced through a hot nozzle (aka extruded) and deposited on a flat surface. The model itself is built up
