Common questions
What tools do I need for 3D printing?
Flush cutters, a print scraper, a deburring tool, digital calipers, tweezers and a nozzle cleaning kit cover most everyday needs.
Do filament dry boxes really help?
Yes, especially for PETG, nylon and TPU, which absorb moisture quickly and print much better when kept dry.
