SUNLU S2 Filament Dryer: Moistureless 360° Surround Heating
Many 3D printing filaments are hygroscopic, which means they readily absorb moisture from the environment when they are removed from the original package. Moisture can turn into steam in the hot end, leading to issues like poor layer adhesion, bubbling, or even clogging of the nozzle. Using a filament dryer box such as the SUNLU S2 is essential to...
ELEGOO MARS 2 PRO review: My first 3D printer
I think there is no drone pilot that at least once didn't need urgently a 3D printed part or accessory. No one can contest how convenient (fast and cost-effective) is to make your own camera mount in the comfort of your own garage instead of ordering on eBay. The ELEGOO MARS 2 PRO is the first-ever 3D printer I...
SUNLU Filament Connector: Do you truly need something like this?
SUNLU's new 3D printing accessory, the FC01 Filament Connector, can join various 3D materials (PLA, ABS, PETG, PCL, PA, and PC). But why do you need such a tool? Let's find out from this review!
If you are into 3D printing, you probably know how hard it is to throw away a spool with a few meters of leftover filament....
eSUN eBox filament dryer review
When I got the first 3D printer and had only a few meters of demo filament, I didn't realize the purpose of a filament dryer like the eSUN eBox. Later, when I started to test more and more types and colors of filaments, I ended up with many started spools.
Most 3D printing filaments are highly hygroscopic, fastly absorbing ambient...
SUNLU PLA and PLA+ 3D filaments: Is it Worth it?
When I show my 3D-printed objects to friends, the most common question is, "How much does the filament cost?" SUNLU is known for its affordable 3D printing materials. In this review, we tested their PLA and PLA+ filaments. To check the quality and usability, I printed various things that I needed in the house.
PLA (Polylactic Acid) and PLA+ (also...
Elegoo Jupiter: Super-sized 6K LCD 3D resin printer
On the day we published our Mars 2 Pro review, Elegoo announced an upcoming large-size 3D resin printer with a 12.8" 6K LCD. The 5448 x 3064 UHD monochrome panel achieves a pixel pitch of just 51µm that should provide outstanding print quality. The Elegoo Jupiter was announced as a Kickstarter project and will be the biggest 3D printer...
Elegoo Phecda: My first Laser Engraver & Cutter
The Elegoo Phecda is not just the first laser engraver I reviewed but also the first of its kind I got to test. I have tested many 3D printers with a similar construction (mechanical design). Still, instead of an extruder that melts filaments, the Phecda has a powerful laser unit that can engrave and cut various materials.
Laser engraver machines...
Nanovia filaments review: Best for RaceWhoops
3D printing has become increasingly popular in recent years thanks to its affordability and ability to create complex and elaborated objects in the comfort of your garage. One of the most important decisions you'll make when 3D printing is choosing the suitable filament, as the material you select will greatly affect the outcome of your project. With so many...
ELEGOO Neptune 4 Max: Speedy XXL 3D printer
The ELEGOO Neptune 4 Max is the largest 3D printer that I reviewed. With a massive 420*420*480mm build volume, you can print big models at once without the need to glue multiple parts together. The Klipper firmware will also be a first for me. Klipper is an advanced open-source 3D printer software developed by KevinOConnor that allows you to...
Artillery Hornet 3D printer review
These days, 3D printers are used in various applications, from education and prototyping to advanced things like bioprinting organs. In the drone hobby, many DIY enthusiasts started to print their spare parts and accessories for long time ago. Lately, Free Zillion, founder of RaceWhoop Facebook group, designed a ducted drone that is almost entirely 3D printed. The concept became...
Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra: Experience 12K Brilliance!
The Saturn 4 Ultra is my third reviewed Elegoo resin 3D printer and the second of the series. I can confess that, from the very beginning, there has been a significant evolution in features and design from the first-generation Saturn to the fourth generation.
With an impressive XY resolution of 11520*5120 (19*24um pixel size), the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra achieves...
