Here’s what to do if you notice clicking noises, under-extrusion, or other print quality issues caused by extruder skipping on the Ender 3 by Creality.
Binder jetting is accurate, fast, and more affordable than powder bed fusion processes like DMLS. Here we examine the process, its advantages and disadvantages, and its most promising applications.
Hygroscopic materials, like Nylon, absorb moisture, impacting print quality. Despite manufacturers' claims of low moisture content, over 55% of neat Nylon filaments are too wet out of the package. Drying these materials is crucial, but often the provided instructions are insufficient.
