Use our interactive FDM table to find recommended 3D printers. The printers are judged on quality, features, open-source, prices, and customer support.
This Resin 3D Printing guide is intended to provide a baseline for the tools and information needed to start resin printing.
The data from research papers presented here add to a growing foundation of understanding 3D printing safety.
Filament is ideal for trinkets, rapid prototyping, and large prints. Resin is ideal for miniatures, jewelry and high-temperature parts.
The recommended location for a resin printer is a garage or workshop. Resin printers indoors should be enclosed and vented out a window.
Jumpstart your resin printer setup with inspiration on enclosures, ventilation, heating, and planning tips.
Learn about various setups for heating Resin 3D Printers when the outdoor temperature drops below 20°C (68°F).
Respirators are a must-have when interacting with resin and thankfully 3M has affordable facepieces and cartridges.
Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) can be safely used in an ultrasonic cleaner if it is placed in a bag or container with the print.
Distillation results in crystal clear IPA, but there are safety concerns that should be addressed. Filtration alone does not purify IPA.
Although the principles and printers created by Prusa and Bambu differ greatly, both companies produce high-quality printers.
This video covers how ventilation can be used to increase safety with FDM and Resin 3D Printers
This video covers how cartridge respirators capture emissions and how they provide protection for 3D printing and other activities such as sanding.
This video covers the basics of ultrafine particles, where they come from, how they impact our health, and explores a few ways to avoid them.
This video compares different types of respirators and presents an affordable DIY supplied air respirator.
These are a few quick adjustments you can make in FDM slicers to minimize the amount of material consumed in a print.
