How To Choose Your 3D Printer: Important Features To Consider

You’ve heard what amazing things a 3D printer can build and have decided to buy one. 3D printers offer an endless range of possibilities as long as you’re creative. There’s a catch however, irrespective of what you’re printing, picking the right device plays a huge role in the outcome of the printing.  

If you want to get started on printing your models, there’s no limit to what you can do from printing custom phone cases to cosplay designs.

There are various types of 3D printers available today each with their unique specifications like the Toshiba Exclusive Multifunction Dealer in Adelaide & Perth that in turn caters to their various demands. The typical printer is priced between $100 to several thousand dollars depending on its size and capability. 

There are technical aspects about the 3D printer you should consider before getting one. Some of which include the different technologies ranging from Fused Deposition Modelling to Digital Light Processing it utilizes as well as stereolithography and much more. This might be quite overwhelming if you’re not much of an expert. 

But, don’t worry, with this article you’d be able to find the right choice that suits your needs using some of the features listed below. 

1. Heated Bed

This feature is needed for most high-temperature extrusion filaments such as Nylon, ABS, Polycarbonate, and HIPS. Not only is it beneficial for virtually all the materials, but it also ensures the plastic remains warm in the printing process and prevents it from warping. 

The heated bed makes sure that there’s better adhesion (gluing) between the layers as this will produce great structural integrity of the printed parts. It is very vital for the first layer so it can ensure a proper foundation level. The typical temperature of the bed is between 40°C to 110°C (under no circumstances should your fingers wander around it).  

If you’re going with printers with unheated beds, bear in mind that it can only work with PLA-based plastics and TPUs. Those have a less tendency to warp during the cooling process. The bed is usually covered with PET or painter’s blue tape.

2. LCD Display

The display controller makes it easy for you to 3D print without using a computer system or a software host like Cura. Some of the best resin 3D printer have an LCD display on them such that only an SD card is needed to read the G-code instructions. While this isn’t a very critical feature to look out for when buying, you should consider it as it makes the printing process somewhat less stressful. The display helps you to manage space more efficiently so your computer can perform other tasks. As indicated earlier, it’s really good if you are going to be printing almost every day and can be used for most of your print jobs.

3. Multiple Extruder

Having multiple extruders on your 3D printer means printing various colors or materials simultaneously is possible. You can assign each extruder with the color or material of your choosing. Certain printers are upgradable (can be upgraded from single to multiple extruders) while others can’t. It’s advisable to go for a printer that comes with multiple extruders. 

A major benefit of having multiple extruders is that you can set your support structures with various materials that can be dissolved in a  solvent depending on the type of material you used when printing.

4. Cooling Fan

The fan has a very crucial role in 3D printing and it’s a feature every printer must-have. It is not every printing material that requires cooling but it’s beneficial for most prints. 

The presence of a cooling fan in a  3D printer will improve overhanging features and crisp sharp edges which will result in remarkable bridging ability.

It is important to note that all cooling fans are not created equal. Their sizes range between 25mm to 40mm. Certain fans blow air at the mid-hot-end area, others concentrate on the nozzle’s tip, and others have ducts shaped differently. 

5. Hot End

It is probably one of the most vital parts of the 3D printer. The hot end is where plastics are melted and extruded into tiny layers. They are of different types (majorly PEEK and metal-based). The maximum temperature for Peek-based Hot ends (prints thermoplastics) is 230°C and for metal-based ones (prints Nylon, PET, Polycarbonate, and other strong materials), 320°C.

The things to take note of in a hot end include the: 

  • maximum printing temperature 
  • size of the nozzle and available options for it
  • active cooling

6. Build Area

The build area is the largest size of an object that can be created with the 3D printer. Its dimension is measured in terms of XYZ (breadth, depth, and height).

When you want to print a mug, a typical measurement can be 3 inches wide (X) by 4 inches deep (Y) by 6 inches high (Z) which is 8x8x10 inches. 

More complex and larger print jobs can be divided into smaller parts before finally combining them. 

Apart from taking note of these important features, you need to consider what product you intend to produce and what type of material would be suitable for it. It would go a long way in helping you to decide what type of printer you should get.

Old People Mayhem Sandbox ‘Just Die Already’ to Launch on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC on May 20th 2021. #Gaming

Having spent the last 12 months couped up in our houses, it’ll soon be time to collectively step out and breathe in the fresh air. Of course, that’s all before we strap two live fireworks to our tender bodies, propelling us up into the sky before we come crashing back down to the ground, landing in the open jaws of a handy shark who has taken refuge in a nearby river.

Oh wait. No. That’s Just Die Already – the old aged pensioner playground that Curve Digital and DoubleMoose can today announce will be launching on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch as well as PC on Steam and Epic Games Store on Thursday May 20th, 2021.

If this is the first time you’ve heard about Just Die Already – and, given we’ve all had so little to do during the last year that even thankless tasks such as “reading a book” or “making conversation with a loved one” have almost seemed legitimate, we frankly find that hard to believe – then hold onto your dentures: Just Die Already tells the tale of old folk who have just been kicked out of their retirement homes, competing with each other to secure a sweet spot some place new by performing dangerous challenges to qualify for free care.

Players can either take on Just Die Already alone or compete in four-player online multiplayer (fully cross-platform too, thanks to Epic Online Services), ticking off dangerous challenges that put your life – and, indeed, every atom of your being – in danger. You’ll lose limbs getting eaten by sharks, you’ll break every single one of your bones, you’ll get squished and squashed and shot to pieces and, if you’re lucky, you’ll stay alive long enough to earn your place at a prized retirement home.

“Just Die Already might be a fictional tale of OAPs competing for spots in retirement homes, but given the folks in those homes have food & drink, company, and – most importantly – haircuts on tap, I’m starting to think I should join then,” offers DoubleMoose co-founder Armin Ibrisagic. “Seriously, after a year of COVID-dodging, there’s not a single person in a retirement home who doesn’t look younger and fresher than anyone at DoubleMoose. At least we can now take on the comparatively sprightly forms of Just Die Already’s cast of characters when the game launches on May 20th.”

For more insights into Frank’s mind, the protagonist of Just Die Already, follow the Twitter account here: @JustDieGame. Be warned: Frank does not hold back…or even know what Twitter is, really.

Just Die Already will launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch as well as PC on Steam and Epic Games Store on Thursday May 20th, 2021 for £11.99/$14.99/€13.99.

Until then, you can pre-order the game on Steam here or on the Epic Game Store here.

Six million batteries recycled through top five supermarkets last year. #WEEE #EarthDay #Recycling

Almost six million batteries were recycled through five supermarkets last year as more people used their grocery shop to do their bit for the planet. Despite the encouraging data, for every 10 AA batteries sold on the market, only four are returned for recycling, with 20% in a recent survey admitting to dumping used batteries in general waste bins.

To coincide with Earth Day today WEEE Ireland is urging the public to gather old batteries for recycling and avoid dumping them in bins, from where they end up in incinerators, meaning precious metals are lost for good.

Aldi leads the charge

WEEE Ireland collected half of the huge haul from Aldi stores, which led the charge on 3.2million, double that of its German rival Lidl on 1.6million.

The e-waste recycling scheme also picked up 850,000 used batteries from Tesco and 224,000 from SuperValu, while Dunnes Stores prevented over 97,000 ending up in landfill.

In total, the equivalent of 21 million AA batteries were recycled by householders in 2020 through retailers and civic amenity sites – an average of four for everyone in Ireland.

“Earth Day is an opportunity for people to stop for a moment to think about how they can make a difference. Recycling batteries is as easy as taking them to your nearest supermarket or recycling centre and plays a huge part in helping protect the environment,” said Leo Donovan, CEO of WEEE Ireland.

Six million batteries were recycled through Ireland’s main supermarkets last year, but Leo Donovan, CEO of WEEE Ireland, warns that 20% of us are ignoring the green message and dumping used batteries in general waste bins. Picture: Conor McCabe Photography.

“Rolling lockdowns saw people use more home grooming devices such as electric shavers, games consoles, remote controls, kids’ toys, power tools and fitness equipment – resulting in more batteries being used and many of these ended up in drawers.

“For the millions of batteries not recycled properly every year, we lose precious elements and important resources that could be used again in manufacturing. The hazardous material they release also has an impact on human health and our environment.”

For every battery recycled, WEEE Ireland makes a contribution towards Laura Lynn – and it has confirmed a further €40,000 donation to the children’s hospice.

The gesture will provide much-needed overnight respite stays for 19 children and their families at the hospice this year and brings its overall donation to Laura Lynn to €480,000 since the partnership first began back in 2011.

WEEE Ireland is the country’s largest e-waste recycling scheme, representing most of the Irish battery industry and household, electrical and electronic industry, which has a producer responsibility to organise and finance the environmental management of their products at end of life.

Konftel Strengthens Climate Neutral Ethos. #Konftel #beclimateneutral

In an era of agile working with huge demand for conferencing and collaboration hardware, protecting the planet is just as important as connecting the world, for pioneering manufacturer Konftel.

The company was the first in the collaboration devices sector to earn official Climate Neutral certification – which has now been successfully extended for the second year in a row.

Climate Neutral Certified status means all greenhouse gas emissions have been offset, across all aspects of the business, from manufacturing and product packaging to transportation. Konftel continues to cut impact at source too with a series of new initiatives announced.

By investing in worldwide carbon credits, forest conservation, renewable energy and carbon capture technologies all benefit. Forest conservation in Zimbabwe, water filtration in Cambodia and renewable energy in India are some of the many projects to be supported by Konftel so far. 

Being a trendsetter is nothing new for Konftel, according to CMO Stefan Eriksson who cites how the booming business was the very first to manufacture and sell a commercial conference phone more than 30 years ago. “It all started in a basement in Sweden when a bank director needed a conference phone in his office. Today we have grown into one of the biggest players in the world for collaboration endpoint solutions, bringing people closer together.”

CMO Stefan Eriksson

He added: “Konftel is certified for the second successive year with the Climate Neutral standard. This means we have offset all our greenhouse gas emissions and are taking action to further reduce those emissions. Today’s hybrid working trends has triggered a huge explosion is conferencing equipment sales. But buying from Konftel ensures our customers have a ‘clear climate conscience’ that there is no overall impact on the planet. We believe every company should #beclimateneutral”

 

He continued: “For us, it’s not enough to simply provide innovative technology, equipment and support which helps people communicate more effectively. We also have to pay attention to our own carbon footprint in a way which encourages others to do the same. Stealing a march on our sector rivals and leading from the front is part of our DNA. A Climate Neutral Certified label is displayed on all our products which we are rightly proud of.”

Konftel has generated record annual sales, with an expanding portfolio of innovative video and audio conferencing solutions. Its environment friendly credentials help give it the edge too – an ethos inherent throughout the company.

“Konftel and our other Climate Neutral Certified brands are leading the global shift to a net-zero economy by doing what all companies should be doing immediately: measuring, offsetting, and reducing their carbon emissions,” says Climate Neutral CEO, Austin Whitman. “Our label helps consumers identify these brands. It’s a recognisable and trusted symbol that turns everyday purchases into meaningfully positive climate action.”

As well as the investment in its carbon credit programme, Konftel will continue to reduce future business travel by staff, once the pandemic is over. It has replaced all plastic packaging for accessory cables with paper-based alternatives.

Furthermore new pledges include all company owned cars becoming electric by the end of 2021. Konftel will ‘climate-optimise’ packaging for all deliveries sent from its head office. This includes replacing plastic bubble wrap with recycled paper, minimising carton sizes, switching from plastic tape and using thermal labels that require less energy and generate less waste. In addition Konftel will explore options for improved energy efficiency at its biggest manufacturing sites.

Eriksson emphasised: “We find that our customers, our partners and our people really care about all of this. We have put it at the very heart of our business because it’s the right thing to do. Yes, the right thing from a commercial perspective, but also the right thing from an environmental and ethical perspective.

“We often get asked by customers and channel partners where we stand on climate neutrality and what we are doing to minimise our carbon footprint. The subject is a big player in the procurement process, and rightly so. It means our investment in carbon neutrality is even more valuable and our commercial offering is more compelling. It is a new tool in the sales tool box, no question.”

Eriksson concluded: “When customers buy from us, they know they are buying from an organisation which has no carbon footprint whatsoever; zero net emissions. This is a huge statement of intent. The technology we produce works in harmony with our climate neutral philosophy. More conference calling means less car and rail journeys, fewer flights, less-full offices, reduced gas and electricity consumption. The two strategies operate together. By choosing Konftel they really can conference with a clear climate conscience.”
