Many customers frequently ask about different aspects of 3D printing, either when choosing one of our 3D printers, or because they want to make some modification to your 3D printers. Internet is full of information, sometimes confusing and contradictory. In this article we want to deal in a simple and effective way with all these doubts that are of..

What is PETG?It is a derivative of PET, one of the most used materials in the industry and in the world. It is the material used in rigid bottle containers due to its excellent mechanical and chemical properties.In addition, it is a recyclable material, so treated correctly the environmental impact of using this material in 3D printing can be very ..

Marlin 2.0 is now available. And, although it is still in the "beta" phase, in RAMPS it is stable enough to be used, and it has many important advantages over versions 1.1.X. These include:Complete compatibility with TM2130, including menus to adjust the intensity, operating mode, sensitivity for sensorless homing, etc.Improved acceleration and mov..

We have based our new 3DSteel model on the popular P3Steel kit, keeping the same frame and rods, as well as many other components to allow the upgrade to this new version.We have prepared different packs, so you can make a total or partial update with the greatest comfort and flexibility possible. Next, you will find the different parts that you ca..

What you need to know about TMC2130These are controllers for stepper motors designed by Trinamic (from Germany) especially for 3D printing.They are very advanced drivers that include first class technologies at a very affordable price. They can also easily replace the DRV8825 and A4988.They include the following technologies:SPIStep/DirMicrostep ta..

What is to crimp?    It is called crimp to the cable splicing procedure, especially used for telephone connectors.  Crimper, is the tool used to crimp or corrugate two metal pieces and other malleable materials by deformation of one or both pieces. This deformation will keep them together in a very safe way.  Using this system instead of weldin..

  3DTouch is an automatic leveling system for 3D printers that can measure the inclinations or variations of the printing surface in a precise and simple way.   It is compatible with any type of surface: glass, metal, etc. since, unlike other systems, it works by contact, which is a great advantage over other capacitive, inductive and other se..

How to select the best 3D Filament for your 3D printer   Which filament should I choose? Is ABS or PLA better? What is the difference between a normal PLA and PLA 3D850? Can I print PETG with my printer?  These and many other similar questions are what our customers ask us, and they are very common doubts in 3D printing, in this article we will t..

We have created new step-by-step tutorials for the assembly of our P3steel, which makes it easier to keep the printer's assembly instructions updated.    The format of the tutorial is very visual and detailed, and are explained with precision the assembly of each component.    With this tutorial we intend to update the documentation and suppo..

Cool Pull or Atomic Method to clean the nozzle of our 3D Printer   Cool Pull or Atomic Method is a technique to clean the nozzle. It can be done after a jam, or as a preventive cleaning after a change of material or many hours of printing.    With the Atomic Method technique, we can extract residues and/or burnt particles of filament from the n..

In this tutorial we are going to learn how to update the Marlin version of your 3D printer.  Marlin is the firmware that controls your 3D printer, installed in the board, it is opensource, costless and very powerful. We offer updated versions configurated for our kits.   Steps to follow: Download or update Arduino IDE. It is important u..

How to print ABS?    Its scientific name is Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). It is considered a engineering plastic.    ABS filament is very popular in 3D printing and it was one of the first filaments to be used; although it is losing protagonism in favor of PLA, it is still a very interesting filament which offers great results if we work..
