Selective laser sintering: Welcome to this new section dedicated to discussion and introduction to additive manufacturing technologies. In these weekly articles we will analyze from time to time a more or less known technology. Characterizing it in broad terms to have a clearer idea of all the facets of 3D printing. That, as we will see, are […]

Best Resin 3D Printer: Top 5 in 2021
Today we talk about resin and we will try to locate the best 3D resin printer that you can buy in this early 2021. Resin 3D printer: short introduction Basically the working principle is very similar to traditional 3D printing. In the sense that even in this case the model takes shape one layer at […]
5 Printing objects completely useless but very nice
Completely useless but very nice Since I’ve started with 3D printing, I often find myself printing things that are completely useless, strange, or meaningless. After a worldwide production of spinners, fidgets or other such amenities I decided to share with you this strange trend. That involves all makers sooner or later. In fact, the first […]
3D Modeling for Printing – Guidelines!
In this article I would like to try to give some small guidelines on modeling for 3D printing. It may seem strange to differentiate 3D modeling from 3D modeling for printing. After all, you use the same software, the techniques are identical, just as the whole theory is identical. In fact, we are not talking […]
What is a 3D pen and how does it work?
The 3D pen is used as if it were a normal pen. Instead of leaving the mark with ink, he writes plastic: yes exact, very solid plastic! He does not need paper but writes everywhere, even in the void, in three dimensions. This innovative 3D pen is used to create objects of any kind, the […]
How to get the first 3D model
A 3D model is a virtual track that a 3D printer follows to print an object. In this article I will try to explain what a 3D model is and how you can create it. There are many ways to get a digital representation of an object, existing or fictional. A 3D model is a […]
Setting up a domestic FabLab – Here’s what you need
Setting up a domestic FabLab The domestic FabLab is for anyone who is intrigued by 3D printing and wants a printer, and from the moment of purchase the “curious” becomes passionate. And for an enthusiast, normally only one machine gets narrowed down. Thanks to the waiting time for the realization of a project (read this […]
Evaluating printer performance – Here is the universal method
Who among you wants to evaluate the performance of the 3d printer? You spent sleepless nights installing the latest upgrade that reduces vibration by 0.3% or the linear guides on all axes… but how can I say unequivocally that your efforts have been rewarded? Well, it’s possible! And it’s also easy and fast, you just […]
Anycubic 4Max-PRO Review
Anycubic 4Max-PRO Review For this Anycubic 4Max-PRO review we have on the test bench the water green and black version. Similar to the previous version has only a part of the name and corexy construction, for the rest the two machines do not look like each other. The construction volume of the Anycubic 4Max-PRO (270 […]
Introduction to Resin 3D Printer
The resin 3D printer is a completely different way of creating solid objects, even if we’re traditional fast prototyping makers. In this article we will deal with the differences with the most classic 3D printing system, to see when it is better to use one rather than the other and to finish a series of general […]
[GUIDE] Choose the best printing bed – All options at a glance
In this very short guide I would like to illustrate the surfaces on which you can print in 3D, to help you choose the best printing bed “according to you”. The “according to you” is specially put, in fact there is not, at least not yet, a method clearly superior to the others, in all […]
What are the skills needed for 3D printing?
What are the skills needed for 3D printing? As a perpetual undecided I took a long time to arrive at a choice, and then I realized, afterwards, that I had only wasted time! With this article I would like to help those who are, now, with the same question in the head. I hope that […]
Filament – 3D materials that simulate others
Filament. With 3D printing you can achieve anything you want, or almost, thanks to a series of new filaments! This leads us to broaden our horizons and to think that we want to give our creation not only a shape, but also a particular consistency. And if we can’t turn our creations into metal, glass […]
USB Digital Microscope 400x – Print analysis to the next level
In today’s review we’re going to talk about a very useful little object, the USB digital microscope. However you can use this tool in 3D printing, even if not strictly related to it. In addition to electronics and for inspecting insects and plants can be used as well for a close look at the 3D […]
All uses of 3d pen even if you already have 3d printer
Even if you own best 3D printer could find some uses of 3D pen. Normally, those who own a 3D printer think that the 3D pen is an unprofessional tool good for childs. This thought comes from the fact that the 3D pen does not have the precision of the printer. Obviously creating an object […]
