Guides
We will publish as much support as possible 3d printing support guides, from the use of modeling programs, the functioning of the Slicer, and above all we will dedicate ourselves to the practical part of 3D printing.
The first approaches to the machine can be brutal if we are not sufficiently prepared or we can not find the right information. We are at your side! Browse all the following pages and search for the guide you need.
Among the various methods to increase adherence the use of lacquer is definitely the most used but how to remove the lacquer from the printing plane? This reinforcement to the membership is used by many makers, and the reasons are moltemplius. Cheapness in the first place, and second reason is certainly the ease with which […]
.The Simplify 3D settings follow the process rule. For comparison we can say that what in Care is theprinter,in Simplify is the process. A Process is the set of settings that will be applied to the template when creating the Gcode. You can create an infinite amount of processes. If you have read the […]
As already mentioned in the first Simplify 3D guide: Work table and models in this second guide we will talk about the interface of this software. If the interface part has no secrets for you then switch to the third guide right away: Processes and Printing Startup. Just to make it clear, let’s re-propose the […]
Welcome to this mini-guide on how to transform an image into a 3D object, even a 3D Logo. This feature is one of the demonstrations of Simplify’s power. If you’ve never heard of this powerful software I recommend this short reading, but if you know it and want to know in depth all the possibilities […]
A Simplify 3D guide is one of those things you can’t miss in a blog like ours. And I waited far too long before giving birth to it. Simplify 3D is perhaps the most complete, versatile and powerful slicer on the market. I say trade because this slicer is not free, but paid. Certainly the […]
In this short post we try and see how to recover wet filament. Don’t despair! Nothing is lost. Your filament can be saved, and as usual we will provide you with more than one solution! Recover wet filament: First solution The first and “most professional” solution is the purchase, at an affordable price, of a […]
In this guide we will explain how 3d print 2 colors (or two materials, always similar) with our printer, then the two-color 3D printing. The used machine is a Tevo Tarantula modded with dual Z, rail on Y axis and mks Gen L card with TMC2208. But obviously this particular configuration can be applied to […]
Here we are, we have a 3d printer and the models to print: what we have to do is prepare the models, here is a Checklist to follow! We have said it several times, the files must go through the slicing program.If then, like me, you do not have a profile ready for each material, […]
I wanted to create this 3D Printing Glossary because additive manufacturing is a very simple concept, just add a dimension to the typical 2D printing. This obviously makes the whole thing more intricate, but at the same time more fascinating. For a novice user it is very difficult to understand some concepts because you are […]
There are same days, in 3D printing as well as in any other activity where all go wrong, and when we have to clean up the Hot End after a disaster is one of those. One example is getting up in the morning, and when we go to our beloved printer to see what was […]
Today we are talking about steps calibration of the X Y and Z axes, a simple and practical guide on how to obtain exact dimensions of our 3D prints. Steps calibration: Practical Guide First specific that this is a practical guide. Therefore it involves the direct comparison of practical results. The process consists of redoing […]
Most slicers are capable of analyzing a model (mesh), identifying mesh issues and solving them automatically if necessary. However, it may happen that the slicer does not solve the problem or that it solves it but not in the correct way. As already mentioned, creating three-dimensional models for printing requires the use of some care […]
What is a mesh? A mesh is a set of basic polygons (Triangles/Quads or Triangles/Quadrilateral) that are “joined” in a certain way to form the mesh itself. If we go into more detail, we find the vertices. Vertices define the position and orientation of every single triangle of a mesh, but not only… In three-dimensional […]
Creating three-dimensional models for 3D printing requires the use of software that can generate this type of models. In fact, the creation of models (modeling) can be done using the most appropriate software, to be chosen according to your needs.However, many of the software that follow offer the same functionality, and probably, the same functionality […]
The question: “How to repair an STL?” is constantly asked in the forums and Facebook groups, and the answer is NO, if you Repair STL with Meshmixer. Why? Quite simply because when you go to edit a *.stl or *.obj file, as well as when you draw in any of the 3D formats and you turn […]
