This week, Adafruit shows us how to make a sci-fi-inspired bike headlight, inspired by jet engines and rocket boosters. Cycle through various colors and animations with the RGB LED button.
Clogging – the bane of all 3D printing enthusiasts. Oozing – a lesser known problem often mistaken for the first. So how do you tell them apart? That's what we're here for! Read on for tips and tricks that will help you discover whether your extrusion issue is a single jam or something else completely...
