Tips and Tricks for 3D Printing Beginners and Pros
Update your 3D printer firmware without a bootloader!
I also explain how to burn a bootloader to a 3D Printer that doesn’t have one yet. But really, you might not even need one!
Improving the backyard with Fusion360! (printed on Creality Ender 3)
The new garden hose is scraping the corner of the wall – time to fix that with a 3D printed part! But not everything goes according to plan…

Today we’re going to use a 13-hundred € 3D scanner and a 1000€ 3D printer to fix a compost bin that cost all of 19€.
Make your 3D printer safer: Marlin configuration!
Probably the most crucial steps in making your 3D printer safe is configuring the firmware right – I show you how with Marlin!
Everything you need to know to make your 3D printer fireproof!
It doesn’t take much for a 3D printer to catch fire – but it’s easy to prevent! Here’s how you can make your own 3D printer safer and keep it from causing more harm should it start to burn anyways.
Things you should know about flexible filaments and Nylon
Ok, let’s talk about Nylons, or Polyamides and flexible 3D printing materials. They’ve been around for a while, but I still think they are a super interesting – even if I wouldn’t print everything with them.
