LULZBOT, ULTIMAKER, 3D4MAKERS AND NASA; TURNING A DESKTOP 3D PRINTER INTO A HIGH TEMPERATURE PRINTER
Repost;https://www.3d4makers.com/blogs/news/turning-a-desktop-3d-printer-into-a-high-temperature-printer Desktop FDM 3D printers are usually able to extrude material up to temperatures of around 280 C. At these temperatures prolonged use will degrade parts such as PTFE nozzle inserts or plastic parts in the build volume. At even higher temperatures stepper motors will fail, as will electronics. Build platform temperatures are also limited to around 100 C. Current generation d

Berg3D Printing received a request to quote on 3D printing the SANBS Trophy approx 30 cm high for the Varsity Cup ; On receival of the order we requested a few blood bags

Oh PET-G!
PETG is an abbreviation for Polyethylene Terephthalate (with a glycol modification) which is one of the most common polymers used today - It is used to make water bottles, food packaging, and many other common plastic items. PETG is fast becoming one of the most popular filaments for 3D printing. Not only is it easy to use, it also sports a number of industrial benefits. If ABS is turning out to be more difficult to work with than you realized, and you want a stronger finish

Ultimaker and 3D4makers Filament: A match made in 3D heaven!
Printing on an Ultimaker alone is a pleasure, its high quality structure and user friendly programming makes working with this piece of machinery a dream, bringing beautifully thought out ideas to life.. its fun to work with to :) 3D4makers filaments' print exquisitely contributing to the general success of Berg3D. General properties; Excellent roundness 99% - vertically extended 0% Moisture; these filaments never come into contact with water during the production process and

3D4MAKERS is now in SA!
For the past 2 years we have been growing at a phenomenal rate providing personalized service on all things to do with 3d printing and rapid prototyping. We have encountered incredible people and have been blessed to be part of equally incredible projects. We are now broadening our scope and are excited to announce the launch of 3D4makers filaments in South Africa, we are now the sole importers of this well known, high quality filament. #Filament #3D4makers #PETG #PLA
