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 ...
We break down the pros and cons of the various types of 3D printing materials, from PETG to TPU, to help you figure out which filament is best for your prints. Since 2004, I have worked on PCMag’s ...
There are many factors that determine how well a 3D printer prints. While many of them involve tuning and tweaking the actual 3D printer itself, the filament you print with may be one of the most ...
When 3D printing a particularly complex object, you often need to incorporate additional support structures into its design, given how the layer by layer additive process works. And with 3D systems ...

Can this $1,500 filament recycler actually work?
In this video, I attempt to build an affordable filament recycling setup that allows anyone to turn wasted filament into ...
Netherlands-based artist Olivier van Herpt wanted to 3D print ceramics. The problem? There was no machine that could do what he wanted. His solution was to build his own. Michelle Starr is CNET's ...
As we know, 3D printers make objects but eliminate the waste and high tooling costs of traditional manufacturing. Because the machines print parts off of CAD files, even weird or impossible-to-find ...
Plastic waste is a big problem in our world today. It's important for makers who use 3D printing technology (which generates plastic objects) to consider the waste hierarchy paradigm. Here's the thing ...
