If you have a different 3d printer, you should check out Thingiverse for drive blocks that use a spring and roller bearing that will fit your printer. There should be a very small gap (orange arrow) below the bearing and drive gear and the hole where it goes into the hot end of the ...
It's also helped create small businesses, allowing for small-scale production efforts to be performed by teams, rather than going through the usual expensive and lengthy manufacturing of components. For design teams, they can very quickly print and test an object, without needing to use a produc...
Preparing your first 3D model for 3D printing can be a daunting experience. Fortunately, you don’t need to design your own model as there are thousands of great designs available for free as STL files on sites such asThingiverse. However, once you’ve chosen a model that you want to pri...
If you have a design with a short bridge, you can 3D print it easily without supports. However, if there is a hole in it, it will be difficult as the printer will try to create the hole in mid-air. To avoid this, you can use a thin layer of material under the hole so the pri...

The "Import" tab allows you to import pre-made designs from other websites such aswww.thingiverse.com.You can add to these designs or use them as is. The "Shape Generators" are pre-made designs already on Tinkercad. The "Tinkercad" and "Community" sub-tabs include more complex designs...
How to 3D Print? Download a design you want to print (the design file is called STL file) from sites such as thingiverse. Import the design into a slicing application to prepare it for 3D printing. Customize the printing parameters based on the type of filament you are using. Export the...
In recent years, 3D printing has matured into an excellent solution for many kinds of production parts, and other manufacturing technologies (like CNC machining) have become cheaper and more accessible for prototyping. So while some people still use ‘rapid prototyping’ to refer to 3D printing, ...
You can also download and print the retraction test model from Thingiverse and use it to find the correct retraction settings for your 3D printer. 6. Low Z-Offset (Image credit: Tom's Hardware) The Z-offset is the distance between the tip of the nozzle and the print bed when the nozzle...
