How to Use Orca Slicer

(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)

When one gets a Bambu 3D printer, the first destination for slicing software is usually Bambu Studio, a 3D slicer developed specifically for use in the Bambu 3D printers. It has a user-friendly interface; however, if one wants advanced features and customization options, Orca Slicer is the best choice. Orca Slicer is a free and open-source slicer made by a GitHub user called SoftFever, who forked it from Bambu Studio, and it is gaining popularity

How to Fix Filament Grinding

(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)

The extruder of a 3D printer usually has gears that exert pressure on the filament to feed it on the hotend. Sometimes, as the motor exerts force to push or pull the filament, it encounters resistance along the filament path, and as it struggles to grip, the filament can start to deform or be chipped by the teeth of the extruder gears. You can sometimes even hear a clicking sound during 3D printing or even see filament shavings coming out from the extruder

5 Key Design Rules for 3D Printing

(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)

Designing for 3D printing is usually different from the traditional approach, and moving from an idea to creating a functional design requires following a certain set of rules and regulations even if you are using one of the best 3D printers . For example, you need to consider important details like the geometry of the design and ensure that the part is watertight and that there are no non-manifold edges that can make the design fail to print properly.

You should also be able

Face of 75,000-year-old Neanderthal woman revealed

What would it be like to meet one of our closest human relatives from 75,000 years ago in the flesh?

Scientists have produced a remarkable reconstruction of what a Neanderthal woman would have looked like when she was alive.

It is based on the flattened, shattered remains of a skull whose bones were so soft when excavated they had the consistency of "a well-dunked biscuit".

Researchers first had to strengthen the fragments before reassembling them.

Expert palaeoartists then created the 3D model.
