Increasing the travel speed of the nozzle when it is not trying to print can reduce 3D printer stringing, but if the temperature is low and the print speed is too high, you may end up with under extrusion because the plastic will lack enough time to drip.

American Magic will rely on Stratasys technology to produce reliable, repeatable end-use parts for its competitive sailing yacht. The team feels that with the Fortus 450mc 3D printer, engineers can design and 3D print new parts more quickly and accurately after each qualifying race.

MARIN: The [D.C.] after party, was at the National Zoo and I don’t know how they did it but they got the lions at the zoo to roar all night long. If I ever heard that roar in real life, I knew that very soon, I’m gonna die. 

Then there’s the legacy of the original to think about. The importance of this film for many people is not lost on those individuals who helped make it. Just about every day, they’re humbled by run-ins with fans, both old and new.

"I’ve never looked at it philosophically, but there was a period where there was obviously a lot of hype and people started hearing about 3D printing and imagining it can do all these things," Hull says. "And maybe it can do everything. [But] then you had the people jumping in to tackle the impossible —small companies and investors and entrepreneurs—running across the reality."

"The problem back then was the designer would design a part and it was a long, long time before he actually ever had a part in his hand to judge whether or not it was what he wanted—and whether it was going to work for the intended use," Hull says.

Stringing is a common 3D printing problem that can be prevented in a couple of ways. In this article, we explore those prevention methods in detail to rid your 3D printer stringing woes.

Clogging is caused by particulate blocking the small hole at the end of your nozzle, preventing the flow of plastic. This particulate will either block flow completely or just restrict it enough to cause problems.

Cable Granulators have numerous environmental and economic advantages, such as high rate of recyclability and purity of end product. That apart, cable granulators do not lead to environmental pollution during processing of scraped cables. The global cable granulator market is also expected to grow against the backdrop of the ongoing shift towards recycled products and use of environment-friendly solutions. Also, industrial and government initiatives to minimize waste and support sustainable development is another key reason that will help to boost the production of recycled materials. According to the BIR (Bureau of International Recycling), the field of recycling witnessed more than 5% Y-o-Y in 2016 across the globe. Also, increasing production from recycled materials and growing demand from manufacturing industries is also expected to boost the demand for recycled products and lead to the growth of cable granulators across the globe.

The Guardian also ran a full page in print of what was written by Rob Smyth during its live blog online, starting from when there were two overs to go in the England innings. It’s amazing Smyth had the capacity to continue typing among the madness but he saved his best line while waiting for the final ball of the contest, when New Zealand needed two runs to win from one ball.
