    If you're aiming for TPU, the flexible stuff, steer clear of bowden tube type printers. It's said they are impossible to use for TPU, but I have a bowden tube type and printed TPU with it with good...

    Look carefully at the safety considerations for resin printing. The resin is considered a hazardous material and should be treated as such. It's on a par with resin impregnated fiberglass and resin...

    here's the latest result, but it's not what you want. 3D Builder in Win10 joined the entire perimeter, probably because the perimeter lines were not properly joined to the walls that make up the...

    At first glance, it looks like a zero thickness set of walls. When you suggest that it's half of the blade, are you planning to print it in halves, then join it together? There are a tremendous...

    This is the first time I've seen this option and it's impressive. Blue tape is a common bed treatment, but I like this far more. I've used the same stuff to mask off a CO2 laser work piece,...

    It's possible that a nylon version of this fan would hold up better, but nylon can be challenging to print if you are the printing resource. As you are using PETG, another option would be to...
