The new Revo Six hot end from E3D is an easy way to swap in different nozzles on your 3D printer. James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main ...

In this video, I explore multicolor, multi-material, and multi-nozzle size 3D printing using the 5-headed Prusa XL. The video covers the use of different nozzle sizes within a single print, combining ...

On a fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer, the nozzle size dictates how small a detail you can print. Put simply, you can’t print features smaller than your nozzle for the same reason you’d have ...

Entrepreneurs in Denmark have taken another step towards improving the general usability of 3D printers with the Diamond Hotend, a single 3D extruder unit that can mix and melt three filaments ...

Although 3D printing technology continues to improve, it's still limited by relatively long print times and low resolution. A new technology could help, by simultaneously utilizing multiple small ...

Get the latest federal technology news delivered to your inbox. A new method 3D-prints large and complex parts more cheaply than current methods. “We have more tests to run to understand the strength ...

3D printing is super cool, but it's also super slow -- it would take 115 days to print a detailed, multimaterial object about the size of a grapefruit. A new method allows printing with up to 8 ...

So here's my problem: I want to change to a .6mm nozzle but when I do it appears that while the spacing of the paths the slicer makes assumes a .6mm line width the amount extruded is woefully ...

A new process called Laser Wire Direct Closeout (LWDC) was developed and advanced at NASA to build a less-expensive rocket nozzle in significantly less time. LWDC is a different process than most 3-D ...
