3D Printing Clogging Zones

Solution to 3D Printing Filament Clogging

Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes Cademix Institute of Technology’s study introduces an efficient solution to the persistent problem of filament clogging in desktop 3D printers. By fine-tuning the size of heat sink fins to 20mm, the researchers successfully minimized the problematic Zone 2 in the printer head, where filament begins to soften. This optimization is pivotal in maintaining the appropriate temperature gradient within the printer head, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted 3D printing operations.
