Manually leveling your 3D printer’s bed can sometimes be confusing, especially if you rely on vague instructions. Many people struggle with the “paper method,” which requires adjusting the bed's ...

3D printers have become very popular recently, and while the technology has become more accessible on a consumer level (both in price and comparative ease of use), it's still a bit more involved than ...

In 3D printing, we often talk about leveling the print bed, although that’s not an accurate term. A bed that is level in our terms presents a flat surface that is parallel to the path of the print ...

3D Printering: the final frontier. These are the voyages of another 3D printer hack. Its mission: to explore strange new ways of leveling a print bed. So far, we’ve had servo probes, Allen key probes, ...

With the excited interest of scientists watching a rocket launch, members of the College’s Physics and Engineering Club gathered around a rectangular contraption that gradually layered thin sheets of ...

The highly mechanical world of 3D printers hasn’t traditionally been welcoming to beginners. Most kits require you to assemble dozens of complex pieces which creates a time-consuming initial setup.

Since 2004, I have worked on PCMag’s hardware team, covering at various times printers, scanners, projectors, storage, and monitors. I currently focus my testing efforts on 3D printers, pro and ...

3D printing is still kind of a niche thing; a mysterious and complicated dark alley of the whole maker movement seemingly kept behind a gated wall of complexity, janky hardware and imposing lingo and ...

Presenting the 3rd prize winner in the TI LDC1000 inductive sensor design contest. One of the challenges to consumer 3d printing involves leveling the print platform. Current methods (insert a ...

Ease of use is the hallmark of Airwolf 3D’s AXIOM 3D Printer, with the integration of a print-bed auto-leveling system.... Ease of use is the hallmark of Airwolf 3D’s AXIOM 3D Printer, with the ...

Quite often when objects are being 3D printed, they have to include supportive structures that are subsequently cut off and discarded. A new print bed, however, is designed to minimize or even ...
