How To Clear and Prevent Jams on Your 3D Printer

At some point you may encounter a filament jam or a clogged nozzle where your 3D printer is not extruding. This guide is intended to help you prevent such jams, or fix with them as painlessly as possible.

Retraction: Just say "No" to oozing

By understanding a little more about the 3D printing process, and how settings in MatterControl affect extrusion, we can help you reduce and even eliminate oozing and stringing from your 3D prints. This should be a part of the regular maintenance and calibration program for your 3d printer.

Three Reasons to Upgrade to an All-metal Hot End

Desktop 3D printing has come a long way in the past few years. It wasn’t long ago that PLA and ABS were pretty much the only filament options. PEEK-based hot ends – once the industry norm – aren’t able to print all the material options available now. Unleash the potential of your printer by upgrading to an all-metal hot end.

3D Printer Filament Comparison Guide

There are many different kinds of 3D printer filament, and each one has it's own strengths and is ideal for different projects. Knowing these differences is key to a successful 3D printing experience and so we have created a Filament Compassion Guide with everything you need to know about every type of filament available.

About PRO Series TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)

TPU is a strong yet bendable filament that has excellent layer to layer bonding that does not allow for any layer separation. This flexible filament is semi-transparent and has some resemblance to rubber. Compared to other elastic filaments, TPU is one of the easiest to print, making it a favorite to novice makers. TPU prints clean up as easy as they print. Simply apply a moderate soap to your piece for a clean finish.

PRO Series TPU filament is specially formulated for precision 3D printing and manufactured in the USA.
