ABS is a 3D printing classic for good reason: It’s tough, heat-resistant, affordable, and easy to smooth, paint, and drill. But with easier-to-print alternatives now available, when is ABS still the right choice?
The right 3D printer lubricant improves the performance and lifespan of your printer, the wrong one can muck up the works. Here's the difference.
The company is teasing the R1, its first standalone laser cutter and engraver. Lasers are already a part of its multi-function machines, but apparently the beam has now earned its own apartment. Details are scarce: full specs are due in late August and pre-orders open in September. Bambu says the R1 applies the same philosophy behind its 3D printers to laser cutting and engraving: less fiddling, more making.
