Kiri:Moto (Web-Based Slicer): All You Need to Know

Kiri:Moto (Web-Based Slicer): All You Need to Know Kiri:Moto is one of many slicers available for free nowadays. Just like the others, it translates a 3D model file – STL, 3MF or OBJ – into G-code instructions your printer will execute to print an object. How then does Kiri:Moto stand out? Unlike other slicers, Kiri:Moto is entirely browser-based: No software or app to install… Continue reading Kiri:Moto (Web-Based Slicer): All You Need to Know

Non-Planar 3D Printing: All You Need to Know

Smooth & Curvy Do you ever notice those ugly level-by-level layer lines on concave 3D printed parts? The issue is known as the staircase effect, and it’s prevalent in regular FDM 3D printing. It occurs because standard 3D printing methods, contrary to the name, are really more like “2.5D”: Only the X- and Y-axes move… Continue reading Non-Planar 3D Printing: All You Need to Know

3D printing – Setting up Klipper – Install KIAUH script

📋 Prerequisites KIAUH is a script that assists you in installing Klipper on a Linux operating system that has already been flashed to your Raspberry Pi’s (or other SBC’s) SD card. As a result, you must ensure that you have a functional Linux system on hand. Raspberry Pi OS Lite (either 32bit or 64bit) is a recommended… Continue reading 3D printing – Setting up Klipper – Install KIAUH script

3D printing – Setting up Klipper – Prepare the Raspberry pi

In this exaple we will be using the raspbeyy pi zero 2 w to install klipper on anycubic kobra 2 neo 3D printer This guide will walk you through the process of installing Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32-bit) on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W using Raspberry Pi Imager. Additionally, we will configure SSH and… Continue reading 3D printing – Setting up Klipper – Prepare the Raspberry pi

3D printing – Setting up Klipper – Hardware

Installing Klipper on Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo Using Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W Enhancing your Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo 3D printer with Klipper firmware can significantly improve its performance and capabilities. This guide will walk you through the installation process using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W as the host. Important Note: Before proceeding, ensure… Continue reading 3D printing – Setting up Klipper – Hardware

3D printing – Firmware.

Firmware is the link between software and hardware: It converts inputs from software to an output that computer hardware can understand. In 3D printing, that process happens whenever you send a G-code file from your slicing software to the 3D printer: The firmware “works out” the code and accordingly gives an output to the stepper motors, heaters, display,… Continue reading 3D printing – Firmware.

3D printing – wall generation – Archane

The Arachne slicing engine is undoubtedly an amazing innovation in fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing. It dynamically adjusts the line width of extrusions to fill in spaces more efficiently than previous methods could. The innovation is thanks to UltiMaker and Tim Kuipers, one of their software engineers who published a paper on an alternative perimeter generation technique. UltiMaker… Continue reading 3D printing – wall generation – Archane

3D printing – Different types of nozzle based on material.

Brass Brass is the current standard material used in 3D printing nozzles (Source: Biqu) Brass is by far the most common metal used for 3D printer nozzles. This copper-zinc alloy offers great heat transfer at a relatively low cost. However, while these nozzles tend to be inexpensive, brass isn’t the most resistant material and is… Continue reading 3D printing – Different types of nozzle based on material.

3D printing – Different types of nozzle based on size.

The Importance of Nozzles The so-called Volcano hot ends are specifically designed for higher speeds and temperatures, with claims of processing at least three times more plastic than the regular V6 hot ends. For such reasons, Volcanos require a lengthier nozzle, usually 21 mm from end to end, to promote better thermal conduction. SuperVolcano The third size… Continue reading 3D printing – Different types of nozzle based on size.
