I’ve been playing with 3D printers since 2016 and in that time I’ve learned that when it comes to 3D printer filament, you get what you pay for! Thankfully in that time, many new companies have come to the market with better and better products. After a lot of experimentation with filament offerings from various

Air filtration, heat and humidity management are an important part of maintaining high quality 3D prints. All through the year the humidity in Brisbane can be quite high so it’s important to control the climate in the workshop. An air filtration unit has been installed in the enclosure and a dehumidifier is on its way
