Difference between knot and overlap

When the term "the coil has a knot" is used in 3D FDM printing, it is totally wrong. What can happen is an overlap. The winding process is complex, since the winding tension and the correct lateral positioning of the filament are involved.

How to glue 3D printing pieces

Users of a 3D printer always aspire to make increasingly complex and larger pieces, but often they are limited, not by their knowledge, but by their 3D printer or the incompatibility of making a piece in one part. The simplest and most economical solution is to make a piece in parts and then paste them.

Memories of 3D printing FDM

Since the RepRap and Open Source movement was born in 2005 with the appearance of Dr. Adrian Bowyer's 3D FDM printer, which could be built by itself almost entirely, this sector has evolved a lot to this day. In this article we will talk about 3D printers and components that were key at the time to achieve successful parts.
