Since our early days as The Spaghetti Detective, Obico has been at the forefront of 3D print failure detection. Today, over a hundred thousand makers trust our technology, with almost one million failed 3D prints caught to date!

The Obico team has been working on something new for a while, and we are excited to announce it today!

We are launching the Alpha Program of our nozzle camera-based First Layer AI Inspection (codename: Celestrius)​

For the past several months, we’ve been working with about 50 early pilots (thank you if you are one of the pilots!) to collect millions of images. With a huge amount of effort, we were able to successfully build an initial version of the AI.

Now we are ready to invite you to participate in the alpha program to get early access to this amazing technology!

Every maker around the world knows that the Prusa i3 MK3 S/MK3S+ 3D printer is a best-in-class 3D printer that not only delivers high-quality prints but is also accurate and reliable. However, as technology evolves and the needs and desires of the user and the customer change, it becomes necessary to keep your printer up to date while also making the process simple. As a result, we've compiled a list of the top ten must-have upgrades for your Prusa i3 MK3 S/MK3S+ 3D printer.

Need for Upgrades​

If you own a 3D printer, you are probably aware that 3D printing is not as simple as it may appear. It has a steep learning curve and can be irritating at times. But what makes it all worthwhile are the custom products you can create with it, the time you save, and the money you can save and even earn with your printer. To ensure that you are always eager to print more and more, it is important that you regularly upgrade your printer.

These upgrades are not only required because they can improve the capabilities of your printer, but they also help you make the process a lot easier, friendlier, fun, and organized.

Octoprint has changed the way we use 3D printers in more ways than anyone could have thought. Wireless 3D printing, failure detection, smooth time-lapse movies, and a ton of other features make it one of the best 3D printing software on the market today.

Some of these features are built into the program, and others are made possible by the plugin system. The "plugins" allow users to perform a wide variety of operations and increase Octoprint's use.

It can be difficult to know which plugins to install first and what they do as a newbie while setting up a 3D printer. In this article, we’ll help you figure out this ''plugin'' situation and guide you through installing them simply via a Plugin pack.

We’ve compiled a list of the best 11 plugins in Octoprint that you, as a beginner, should take notice of. The purpose is to get you up and running quickly with Octoprint and ensure that you get the most out of it.

Let's get started!

ABS to niesamowity materiał do druku 3D. To rodzaj przemysłowego tworzywa sztucznego, który był używany jako jeden z pierwszych materiałów do druku 3D w latach 90. XX wieku. Jednak nawet ABS nie uniknie problemu druku 3D FDM: linii warstw.

Modelowanie metodą osadzania topionego materiału z natury tworzy linie warstw. Dzięki temu wydrukowane w 3D części stają się wyjątkowe, ale bądźmy szczerzy, linie warstw nie wyglądają dobrze na każdym modelu. Sprawiają, że modele wyglądają mniej profesjonalnie i tracą swój urok wizualny.

Na szczęście można całkowicie ukryć te linie warstw w komponentach ABS, wykonując jedynie niewielką obróbkę końcową. Wygładzanie ABS to proces, w którym linie warstw całkowicie się topią, nadając elementom gładką, błyszczącą powierzchnię.

W tym artykule dowiemy się wszystkiego, co warto wiedzieć o tym procesie i pokażemy, jak tworzyć profesjonalnie wyglądające wydruki 3D. Wydrukujmy ABSOLUTNIE niesamowite dzieła!

Introduction​

Klipper and Mainsail are one of the best software pairings for 3D printers you can find today. Both of these programs keep getting better over time so that users can have a better printing experience.

Today, we're going to look at the camera streaming part of Mainsail-Klipper. Mainsail's Crowsnest streaming service recently added the camera-streamer project. This makes it easy to get high-quality video from your webcam without using a lot of data.

Everything you need to know about this revision is included in this article. We'll look at how to add a single camera or multiple cameras, as well as how to get a high-quality video stream of your 3D printer to your laptop.

Let's set sail and get the cameras ready!

The 3D printer calibration is crucial to ensure that your machine creates parts as intended. To 3D print your part as closely as possible to the original design, you need to adjust the 3D printing temperatures, material flows, tolerances, and many other factors.

There are several calibration models you can use to find and tune your print settings. But not all of them are needed, and to be honest, some of them are not even good models.

This article aims to do two things. We want you to adjust your machine and make it as accurate as possible so you can make the best 3D prints. And we want to help you find the best calibration models among the hundreds that are already out there.

This will help you save valuable printing time, materials, and work while getting the best calibration results possible. So, without further ado, let's get your 3D printers squared away!
