the Copier2go blog will cover the latest news and trends in the 3D printing industry. We will dive into deep guides for troubleshooting, product data sheet specifications, and how-to’s to support your 3D printing journey.
What is 3D Print Layer Shift? There is no solution for the 3D print layer shift problem after it happened. That is why it is crucial to learn how to prevent it. In a few words, layer shifting appears when subsequent layers of your print are offset from the previous ones. Regardless of the printer […]
In general, color-changing filament represents thermochromism in 3D printing. This means that the color of the material changes based on its temperature. Materials utilize this phenomenon through Leuco dyes used in color-changing items. In addition, using Leuco dyes will help you achieve a gradient from warmer (lighter) to colder colors (darker). In the 3D printing industry, Leuco […]
Drying filament is one of the most important things you should consider when doing 3D printing projects. Be aware that all FDM 3D printing filaments absorb moisture (hygroscopic). Moisture is one of our greatest enemies. But don’t worry, we are here to provide the best solutions to fight this monster. Before we dive into how […]
Before starting your next printing project, it is important to understand the differences between PETG vs PLA. Though they are similar in several ways, there are still significant differences between the two filaments. PETG and PLA are two thermoplastics that belong to the polyester group of plastics. Known for ease of printing, these two soften […]
If you notice that the corners of your 3D models are bending and starting to deform while you are printing, then you might be suffering from 3D Print Warping. Spots that are bending are a huge problem because they can cause separation from the bed and may cause the entire print to fail. Also, this […]
PETG Data Sheet, Description & Applications Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol, known as PETG or PET-G, is a thermoplastic polyester that delivers significant durability, chemical resistance, and formability for manufacturing. PETG is an adaptation of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), where the ‘G’ stands for Glycol. In addition, it is added at a molecular level to offer different chemical […]
3D printer over-extrusion is one problem that we all suffered once in our printing journey. With our 3 great extrusion setting solutions, you will forget about the blobs and strings that appear when over-extrusion happens. If you notice over-extrusion stop your printing, adjust with our solutions, then resume your 3D printing activities. What is 3D […]
Filament Spool Without Tangles We all feel that frustration when a filament spool gets knotted and eventually ruins our printed project. When the 3D filament becomes tangled it cannot be transported to the feeder and there is no extrusion. This is one of the many issues that we notice while printing. Your project ends up […]
Is your 3D print not sticking to bed platforms? Yes, we all felt that frustration once. But don’t worry, we have 5 solutions to help you avoid your first layer sticking to the bed platforms. If your first printed layer is not sticking to the bed, the rest of your project will be compromised. Before […]
3D print stringing is one of the most common problems when doing a 3D project. In this article, we will dive into what stringing is, how to clean up your strings, and how to prevent it. What is 3D Print Stringing? As you start printing, your nozzle moves across your printing bed from one point […]
