With the addition of input shaping to the well-known 3D printer firmware, Marlin’s 2.1.2 release opens up possibilities for high-quality prints at faster speeds. The widely used 3D printer firmware now supports input shaping thanks to the Marlin 2.1.2 launch this past Sunday. The release’s accompanying text centers on the addition, perched at the top of a list of twelve new features. Print imperfections like ringing are frequently the first barrier to increasing printing speed. Input shaping, also known as resonance compensation, is a calculation that aims to remove visual artifacts like ringing from a printed surface and the vibrations…

We are obviously referring to animals, specifically pets, who hold a special place in our hearts and occasionally even sleep on our couches. They are regarded as man’s best friend. Humans and animals have coexisted for all of recorded history, and this coexistence is still present today. Dogs, cats, fish, and birds are the most common species, and there are significantly more animals per household in 2016 than there were in 2020. In 2016, 76.8 million dogs and 58.4 million cats were adopted worldwide. In just four years, this number increased to 83.7 million dogs and 60 million cats. The…

Learn how to create a beautiful 3D printed lithophane with this step-by-step guide. From converting your image to preparing your model for printing, we’ve got you covered. Follow these easy steps and impress your friends and family with your 3D printing skills. Lithophanes are unique and beautiful 3D printed objects created by converting a 2D image into a 3D model. The image becomes visible when light is shone through the thin layers of the lithophane. These objects make for great gifts and decorations, and with some knowledge and the right tools, they are easy to create. This blog post will…

This tutorial will cover all the information you require about support structures. These frail, breakaway structures support your model’s cantilevered and steep overhanging portions. The Support Generation Tool makes adding, moving, and removing supports simple. The supports are built as a network of connected pieces so they can be removed from your model easily, despite appearing as individual pillars in the software. When are supports necessary? When models have pronounced overhangs or unsupported regions, supports are used. For instance, if you printed an arch, the center of the arch might need support material because nothing would support the top layer…

We can design all kinds of one-of-a-kind components using 3D printing, from cool figurines to intricate industrial models. Unfortunately, 3D printers can’t print through the air or defy gravity. Most entry-level 3D printers extrude material with many cost and safety benefits but also limitations. Designing a part with extreme overhangs, arches, or shallow angles can be difficult. Printing these geometries is made possible by supports. How, then, do you determine when a print requires supports? It varies based on the printer and the print’s layer height. Supports are typically needed when printing overhang angles greater than 45 degrees. Each layer…
