SKR v1.3 Board connections -  Quick guideThe world of 3D printing is in a moment of frenetic development, driven largely by the Maker community and the Open Source movement. One of the great advances made has been the adoption of 32-bit processors for the control of our 3D printers.These 32-bit processors offer many advantages over 8-bit processors..

3D printing as a service is one of the areas with the greatest future projection growth. This technology is more known every day and due to its advantages and the opportunities offered by its reception and implementation it is being very fast. Prototyping This is perhaps the application that first comes to mind when thinking about 3D printing, we h..

Lately, new drivers for the engines of our 3D printers are appearing on the market, which can cause some confusion among the newest users. So we are going to make a small guide to know the main types of controllers and their main characteristics.A4988Originally designed and manufactured by the American company Pololu, its use is widespread in 3D pr..

The power supply is one of the key components in our 3D printer. Sizing it well is a critical factor in the stability and durability of our printer.Differences between Nominal power and Working powerThis is perhaps the critical and most important point of this article since the power supplies are defined by their nominal power or their nominal inte..

Many customers frequently ask about different aspects of 3D printing, either when choosing one of our 3D printers, or because they want to make some modification to your 3D printers. Internet is full of information, sometimes confusing and contradictory. In this article we want to deal in a simple and effective way with all these doubts that are of..

What is PETG?It is a derivative of PET, one of the most used materials in the industry and in the world. It is the material used in rigid bottle containers due to its excellent mechanical and chemical properties.In addition, it is a recyclable material, so treated correctly the environmental impact of using this material in 3D printing can be very ..

Marlin 2.0 is now available. And, although it is still in the "beta" phase, in RAMPS it is stable enough to be used, and it has many important advantages over versions 1.1.X. These include:Complete compatibility with TM2130, including menus to adjust the intensity, operating mode, sensitivity for sensorless homing, etc.Improved acceleration and mov..

We have based our new 3DSteel model on the popular P3Steel kit, keeping the same frame and rods, as well as many other components to allow the upgrade to this new version.We have prepared different packs, so you can make a total or partial update with the greatest comfort and flexibility possible. Next, you will find the different parts that you ca..

What you need to know about TMC2130These are controllers for stepper motors designed by Trinamic (from Germany) especially for 3D printing.They are very advanced drivers that include first class technologies at a very affordable price. They can also easily replace the DRV8825 and A4988.They include the following technologies:SPIStep/DirMicrostep ta..

What is to crimp?    It is called crimp to the cable splicing procedure, especially used for telephone connectors.  Crimper, is the tool used to crimp or corrugate two metal pieces and other malleable materials by deformation of one or both pieces. This deformation will keep them together in a very safe way.  Using this system instead of weldin..

  3DTouch is an automatic leveling system for 3D printers that can measure the inclinations or variations of the printing surface in a precise and simple way.   It is compatible with any type of surface: glass, metal, etc. since, unlike other systems, it works by contact, which is a great advantage over other capacitive, inductive and other se..

How to select the best 3D Filament for your 3D printer   Which filament should I choose? Is ABS or PLA better? What is the difference between a normal PLA and PLA 3D850? Can I print PETG with my printer?  These and many other similar questions are what our customers ask us, and they are very common doubts in 3D printing, in this article we will t..
