Layer separation or delamination is an issue where the layers of your print fail to stick correctly, causing them to separate from each other, resulting in prints with visible gaps and horizontal cracks in between them. When it happens, the print becomes weak such that you can even easily pull the various layers apart, especially in severe cases.
The issue can be caused by many factors, especially poor layer adhesion, using a wet filament, and not using the proper settings in your slicer, like
Ever wanted to see a 3D printer operate underwater? The guys over at CPSdrone and its corresponding YouTube channel certainly did, and they cooked up a full 17-minute video breakdown of the project to prove it.
To make a system capable of surviving underwater use, the CPSdrone men created a custom printer that appears that be based on a Prusa i3
Getting started with resin 3D printing is a little more difficult and sometimes expensive than FDM printers such as the Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus . You need a printer and a wash and cure station to process your prints. If you can save a little money, then the overall cost isn't too different to FDM, but resin has a much higher level of detail.
We reviewed the Anycubic Photo Mono 2 and loved the detailed 4K prints, fast setup and effortless print removal. This
Black Friday doesn't officially arrive for a couple more days, but the best deal of the holiday season for FDM 3D printer enthusiasts may have just dropped at Amazon . Elegoo's Neptune 3 series of printers introduced a large-scale 3D printer that wouldn't break the bank. The $319 Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus is the "middle child" of the Neptune 3 series and it offers a larger print area than the Pro, without dominating the room like
Black Friday sales are here and some of the Best 3D Printers and Best Budget 3D Printers are being offered with great discounts at Amazon , Best Buy, and other major online retail stores. So, if you have been thinking about owning one of these machines for yourself or giving it as a gift to a loved one, now is a good time to take the plunge and take advantage of the savings while it lasts.

Black Friday doesn't officially arrive for a couple more days, but the best deal of the holiday season for resin 3D printer enthusiasts may have just dropped at Newegg. This complete Elegoo Mercury XS wash and cure station will make the messy task of finishing your resin prints a breeze.
The Elegoo Mercury XS bundle includes a wash station, used to wash excess resin from a resin 3D print, typically with isopropyl alcohol (although you can get water-soluble resin now).
The Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro takes the already impressive Neptune 3 Pro and adds a part cooling fan, Klipper firmware, linear rods, and more features while keeping the price surprisingly low.
Powerful direct drive extruder
“Sport” mode part cooling fan
Linear rods enable fast printing speed
Synchronized dual Z-axis threaded rods
Textured PEI build platform excels at part adhesion
Build platform leveling requires manual input

Researchers from Inkbit have leveraged their v ision- c ontrolled j etting ( VCJ ) 3D printing technology to print a functioning robotic hand in a single run. IEEE Spectrum covered this story but stemmed from Inkbit's own Nature article covering VCJ and its applications in exhaustive detail, with the hand being only one of many examples used.
So, what makes VCJ
As a maker I love receiving new maker toys to play with. Soldering irons (I have so many now!), 3D printers, microcontroller, Single Board Computers (SBC) and add-ons are just the tip of the catalog available to makers. As we approach the holiday season, thoughts often turn to buying presents for our loved ones, but don’t we, the makers, deserve a little something?
Whether you need a small,
