While churning through rolls of FDM filament, there are these empty spools that remain at the end. These can be thrown out with the trash, or be used as a standard base for miniatures, for use with ...

Empty spools from 3D printer filament are the kind of thing that begs to be repurposed, and one option is [3d-printy]’s vertical filament spool parts drawer design. The way this solution works is by ...

3D printing enthusiasts interested being able to monitor just how much 3D printing filament they have left on their spools. Might be interested in an new Arduino project that allows you to easily see ...

Once more afraid* to leave the front door, I was messing with some sample filament spools I bought from UK firm Filamentive – which sells only filament with a high recycled content. These are loose ...

Apart from the dual extruders and filament feeders, and a spool holder that can fit two filament spools at once, the Ultimaker 3 ( at Amazon) is similar in design and appearance to other Ultimaker ...

Plastic waste is a big problem in our world today. It's important for makers who use 3D printing technology (which generates plastic objects) to consider the waste hierarchy paradigm. Here's the thing ...

FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printers, better known as filament 3D printers, come in a wide range of models, at a wide range of prices, with many different features. Whether you're new to 3D ...
