PETFusion 2.0, a PET Bottle Recycler that converts them into 3D printing filament, has launched onto Kickstarter and quickly met its funding goal.

My practical 3D printing advice is simple: if you're buying a new 3D printer, get one with a filament runout sensor. If you don't have one, see if it can be added and invest a few bucks to upgrade ...

If you frequently use a 3D printer for your projects then you may experience issues calculating the material weight and length usage. If so, then you might be interested in this project using Arduino.

Created using 3D printer parts, a handful of stepper motors, and an Arduino Nano development board, the wire bending machine can be programmed to create a wide variety of different shapes and angles.

Now a Seattle-based entrepreneur, Liz Havlin, aims to change that with a machine that turns recycled plastic into filament suitable for loading into any mainstream 3D printer. Interestingly, the ...
