3DModUKIn this video I print the Artillery 3D Test Cube using eSUN Marble PLA. I wanted to use marble PLA for a forthcoming project and the eSUN Marble PLA seemed to be of good quality and have good reviews. I always like to print a test cube as a test using a consistent model so […]
The ‘Deep Sleep’ or ‘Flame’ gun from Logan’s Run is one of those iconic movie weapons that made a big impression on me. From the film in 1976 to the TV series in 1977-78. In this video I take on my most advanced 3D print so far. I slice up the model’s component parts, print […]
I have a blade blank that I bought from Heinnie which I haven’t yet made a handle for. As I am getting more and more into 3D printing I thought – why not 3D print my own knife handle – so this is my attempt at created a knife handle from design through to printing. […]
I had a problem with a print whereby it wouldn’t stick to the bed, even when using a brim or a raft. In Repetier there is a gap at the bottom and with Prusa it brings up the error “no extrusions on the first layer”. I eventually identified the problem to be related to the […]
Using a filament cleaner can help ensure that dirt, debris, dust and fluff doesn’t easily get into the print head via the filament feed. This works by clasping around the filament and any dirt is removed by the sponge inside it. In this video we look at the original model and how the very clever […]
I was so impressed with the Silver Silk version of Sunlu’s PLA filament that I decided to add their Copper Silk PLA to my collection also. The end result is quite amazing with a beautifully vibrant shiny and eye-catching ‘glow’ to the cube that really did exceed my expectations. I can’t wait to print more […]
In this video we’re going to be printing the Artillery Test Cube on the Sidewinder X1 3D printer using Multicomp Pro Brown PLA filament. The test cube prints a little lighter than the filament appears on the reel. The end result is very good, consistent and accurate print which is what I have come to […]
In this video we’re going to be printing the Artillery Test Cube on the Sidewinder X1 3D printer using Multicomp Pro Peak Green PLA filament. The filament is quite vibrant on the reel but its quite another when it has printed. It’s almost a bright lime colour which is very eye-catching, vibrant and striking. Printed […]
In this video we’re going to be printing the Artillery Test Cube on the Sidewinder X1 3D printer using Multicomp Yellow PLA filament. The filament appears quite flat in colour on the reel but once printed the end result is a vibrant yellow colour which is bright and striking. Printed using the standard Artillery test […]
In this video we’re going to be printing the Artillery Test Cube on the Sidewinder X1 3D printer using Multicomp Blue PLA filament. The filament appears almost matt blue on the reel but after printing the test cube appears almost metallic blue and is really nice and striking. Printed using the standard Artillery test cube […]
