An Elegoo Mars resin 3D printer, straight to my doorstep for a few hundred bucks. What a time to be alive. Resin-based 3D printers using digital light processing (DLP) and especially stereolithography ...
Get started with resin 3D printing in this introduction to stereolithography (SLA)! I cover the basics of how it works, what makes it different from FDM printing, and what you need to know before ...
Resin 3D printers, like the Anycubic Photon or the Elegoo Saturn, have gained popularity for producing high-detail prints with smooth finishes. While FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printers are ...
3D printers are affordable enough that almost anyone can buy one, but should you? Before you dive in, here's what to consider—about materials, possible uses, software, and much more. Since 2004, I ...
With 3D printing becoming more and more accessible, there still exist a few limitations or practices that come out rather messy. One of these practices is resin stacking which could not only be messy ...
Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is normally an irreversible process. In a digital light processing (DLP) printer, a structured pattern is projected onto a layer of liquid resin, which cures ...
While 3D printing is indeed a burgeoning technology, it's limited by the fact that items can typically only be printed from a single material. A new system still uses just one print resin, but that ...
They're not your granddad's daisy wheel printer or your mom's dot matrix. In fact, they bear little resemblance to today's document or photo printers, which can only print in boring old two dimensions ...
