[Alec Richter] had a good idea on how he could convert the leftover filament spindles from his 3D printer into multi-compartment storage. An empty spindle is fitted with several trays that rotate ...

Most 3D printers come with a pretty basic filament holder — often little more than a bar to hang the spool on. [Ivan Miranda]’s 3D printers run bigger spools than most, though, so he had to ...

Researchers have developed a new 3D printing system that can overcome the challenges of zero gravity and the vacuum of space.

Though the 3D printing hobby is jampacked with do-it-yourselfers, making your own filament is still out of reach for most ...

The open-source Lemontron aims to fill that void by providing a printer that can be transported in an empty filament box. Getting your hands on this portable 3D printer will cost around $413 for ...

This process pushes a plastic filament through a heated "print head" that extrudes molten plastic in thin layers to build your object. The main materials used for MPD 3D printing are ABS and PLA ...
