We’re interested to see if the researchers can figure out how to tune the filament to fluoresce in more colors to increase the information density of the codes. Now, go forth and 3D print a snake with snake in a QR code inside! Continue reading “Fluorescent Filament Makes Object Identific...
If you’reinto 3D printing, then you probably have several spools of filament lying around. It turns out, however, that lying around may not necessarily be the best place for it. Whilst PLA filament isn’t as affected by moisture as some other types, if it’s stored in humid conditions,...
We also offer the option to "pause" your subscription, for those times when you have filament coming out your ears and just need a little time to catch up. Then, when you're ready, it's one click to start up again! WHAT HAPPENS NEXT...
Although the household sealed storage box can meet the demand, many makers designed special containers for storing filaments. You can download the file and print one out directly, or make some adjustments and create the most suitable filament container for yourself! Filament dry box for 3-4 ...
more accurate placement of material with proper cooling (it does not shrink as much) and also thinner build heights because of less resistance from the plastic coming out the nozzle, where ABS even at high temps (252℃) is still sticky and has high viscosity. PLA has a obvious feature that...
Here at MatterHackers, we carry a wide variety of 3D printers that are ready to print advanced materials right out of the box. HOTEND RECOMMENDATIONS If printing a polypropylene with no special blends of other polymers and/or fibers (ex:,), no special hotend is necessary. ...
[Yes/Filament not loaded/Color not clear] = If everything went fine and the new filament is coming out nicely (and has the right color), simply press [Yes]. If you think that the filament was not loaded properly, press [Filament not loaded], which will push through the same amount of...
The first layer is the most important part of any print - it sets the foundation that the entire print builds on. You can check out the in-depth article on how to get a perfect first layer, or for a brief summary of what to consider below are the few things you need to do to get...

(there are a few exceptions, like running metal powder filament through a 0.3mm nozzle or trying to print with cleaning filament). I also used to own an Afinia H-Series Printer (US version of the Up! Plus), only a few of these filaments work well with that printer out of the box. ...
