To improve the bed adhesion and reduce warping of the first layer, several measures are available. For example, using a brim or raft that...

In a previous post the importance of controlling layer temperature is explained. In the latest prints poor results due to insufficient co...

The layer height is an important design parameter that impacts the printing time, cost, visual appearance and physical properties of a pr...

Since PP is known for its stubbornness to attach to other materials than itself, we were expecting some struggles with build plate adhesi...

When 3D printing thermoplastic materials the controlling of layer temperature is of great importance to create quality prints. By establi...

Here are the results of the first tests with new recycled PP material from Eco-Oh! We are glad to have found we made the right decision b...

Here are the test result of the overhang testing. With a layer height of 4 mm and overhang steps of 2 mm we managed to get good results w...

The Dutch national media service NOS published an article on the plastic recycling problem. Especially this infographic provides a good o...

After many months of developing and testing to master the PE/PP material from household waste, our gathered data indicate that we will no...

Many types of plastics intent to absorb moisture from the air. Even the types of plastics that are consider non-hygroscopic attract water...

Since the extruder is an oldy, it was about time to give it a good clean. For maintenance of the barrel we used cleaning purge. Purging t...

Since the optimal layer height was found at 6.5 mm with a 5 mm nozzle, the layer bonding and printing height are up for the test. Startin...

The optimal layer height will differ based on the output of a used nozzle. As starting point 80% of the nozzle size is valid in desktop 3...

With the installment of couplers and nozzles the quality of the output greatly improved. Since recycled plastics from household waste are...

In PE/PP Testing v1 the layer height was set between 5 – 8 mm, resulting in thick round layers. The material has less surface for cooling...

ECO-oh! supplied us with recycled PE/PP blend made of recycled household waste! With the material consisting of 75% PE & 25% PP it is cha...

While printing with recycled PLA we experienced considerable expansion and shrinkage of material. Since PLA is an amorphous plastic it sh...

The initial plastic research, as part of the subsidy trajectory, is rounded up. We concluded on the type of plastics that are going to be...

As a partner in the ReMake consortium ECO-oh! contributes with their expertise on plastic recycling and recycled materials. To get starte...
