3D Printing Problems Have you heard about perfect winding in 3D printing? The text talks about the importance of perfect spooling in 3D printing. Often, issues with poorly spooled filament can cause jams in the 3D printer and ruin the final print result. It is essential to ensure that the filament is properly wound on the spool to avoid knots and problems during printing. At Winkle, they […] Read more →
3D Printers Recycled PLA-HD 3D Filament Recycled PLA-HD 3D Filament is manufactured in Spain for 3D printers with FFF/FDM technology. This filament is made from the leftover material generated from the production of other filaments. PLA is a biodegradable plastic obtained from natural resources such as starch extracted from corn, beets and wheat. At Winkle, a company belonging to the Ecotisa […] Read more →
3D Curiosities What is the PLA 870 annealing process? The oven annealing process of a filament is a thermal treatment widely used in the post-processing of 3D printed parts. With this technique, we seek to improve firmness, tensile strength and heat resistance. It is true that the vast majority of makers love to print with PLA filament, because it is cheaper, because of the […] Read more →
