3d printing

REVIEW – I have an older filament printer that I learned to design, tweak, and print 3D models. Usually, my bigger prints came out fine, but I could never get the detail of smaller prints to look good. I heard about resin printers but didn’t know the benefits and shortcomings. I knew I wanted to […]

REVIEW – Does the prospect of making stuff make you giddy? Do you want to step up your 3D printer game to make some colossal stuff? Do you need a full-sized suit of armor without splicing parts together? If you answered “Yes?” to any of these, the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga 3D printer is fabulous! Read

REVIEW – It has been quite some time since I have reviewed a filament 3D printer. I started with “open” printers of various sizes and I guess I got tired of the tedious work of bed leveling and prints that would not stick to the bed. I gave it a break for a while, but

REVIEW – I’m sure a lot of you like me have always wanted to try your hand at 3D printing. We get offers all the time to review different 3D printers and I always throw my hat in to try one out. I have never 3D printed anything and the only 3D printed objects I

REVIEW – I got my first 3d filament printer back on 6/27/2022.  It was the Elegoo Neptune 3 that I was able to review for The Gadgeteer.  Since then, I have also had a chance to review the Mingda Magician Max printer and the current printer in my arsenal, the Creality Ender 5 S1. The

REVIEW – I previously reviewed the Anycubic Kobra Plus in 2022 and was incredibly impressed with it. Unfortunately it is a bit big so I just can’t keep it set up all the time despite being just a midsize printer with a 30x30x35cm print bed so when Anycubic asked me to try out their new

REVIEW – 3D printers just keep getting better and better. The best machine is still likely to be one you already have and know how to use, but if you’re looking for new features or faster speeds, or are just getting ready to drop cash on your first printer, there’s never been a better time.

REVIEW – I’m still a newbie in the world of 3D printing, but I’m enjoying the learning process. Ever since I reviewed a tiny toy 3D printer a couple of years ago, I’ve continued to be interested in the hobby. A few printers later and I’m starting to get the hang of things and was

REVIEW – I am loving this recent wave of higher speed 3D FDM printers, especially since I’ve been trying out some larger format items lately (like cosplay helmets) that can easily take 3 days or more on the previous printers I’ve reviewed. I’d also heard of Klipper while researching 3D FDM printers but hadn’t had

REVIEW – I’ve been working with 3D printers for several years, but reluctant to dive into resin printing because of the cost and complexity. Geeetech’s sub $100 Alkaid printer was just the incentive I needed to dive in. Is it any good? Join me for a peek! What is it? The Geeetech Alkaid is a
