Didyou know that 3D printing generates a lot of plastic waste? This mayseem odd at first, but every enthusiast knows the amount of plasticthat gets wasted before any successful printing is done.

The world of 3D printing is constantly evolving, and with the increasing focus on sustainability, innovative solutions like the Artme3D MK2 3D print recycler and filament maker are taking center stage ...

Ground plastic bits go in one end, finished 3D-prints come out the other. That’s the idea behind [HomoFaciens]’ latest build: a direct-extrusion 3D-printer. And like all of his builds, it’s made from ...

Now there’s yet another option for making your own 3D printer filament: the Filabot Wee. It looks like their once open source model that they pulled from Thinigiverse earlier this year has received a ...

Here’s another project with the worthy ultimate aim of repurposing household plastic waste as useful 3D filament for making new stuff with your home 3D printer. Both the Strooder and the Filabot are ...

For all its transformative potential, the high costs of 3-D printing continue keeping it from achieving mass consumer adoption. Now a new open source device may change that with its ability to create ...

Extruders are devices that heat and melt the feedstock and extrude it through the nozzle along a predetermined path on the print bed. Based on the material feeding, 3D printers are classified as ...
