6039 | 3D Printing of a Swellable Material
I recently saw this video of super-swellable polymer and felt inspired. Printing a swellable structure would be sort of interesting. However, sodium polyacrylate isn't a printable material. Does anyone know of a material that is? Preferably, swelling activated by water.

6116 | Dual extruder unused nozzle is breaking prints
So I got my first 3d printer, with 2 nozzles. I thought why not, I may want to print 2 colours, dissolvable supports etc in future. But for now, only using one.
I've had good success on small items so far, but when I try to print something that's a big on the bigger side, ... | Stack Exchange | 2025-03-21T12:54:43.453433 | 2018-06-07T13:57:15 | {

6134 | On a LENS printer, does the head move, or is it table that moves when printing?
I'm wanting to know how a LENS printer moves to create 3D prints.
Whilst this is not a definitive answer, if you watch the video on their website, LENS 450 Systems, it is the bed that moves in the X and Y axes - the head remains static. Th... | Stack Exchange | 2025-03-21T12:54:43.453696 | 2018-06-09T13:48:38 | {

6153 | Printer Enclosure Material Selection
Im planning on building an enclosure for my CR-10S and am debating whether to use MDF walls lined with an insulation foam that reduces noise and keeps the heat in or going with double pane glass walls.

6158 | What is the best way to dry filament?
I have some nylon that appears to have soaked up some moisture, the prints have the texture of rice bubbles. So I'm wondering what people suggest for drying.
My priorities are:
cheap
low energy use
safe
effective
