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 →
3D Curiosities Why do we at Winkle vacuum pack our coils? At Winkle we vacuum pack our spools to avoid the problem of under-extrusion, which is caused by the presence of moisture in the filament. If the spool is not dry, you can have low quality prints. To know if the filament is wet, you can see if the material is not smooth and contains bubbles […] Read more →
