Why are I-Beams shaped like an I

You can save yourself some plastic if you know the theory behind the I-Beam and the Real Engineering channel on YouTube explains why I beams are shaped like they are. It explains the second moment of area (sometimes refered to as the moment area of inertia).

The strongest material

Do you have a part that you are thinking about printing, but your are worried about the strength? MatterHackers has done some unscientific comparitive testing for you. You don’t need to be an engineer to understand the test. They printed some parts and tried to break them. Check it out.

ABS Juice, Glue and Slurry

MatterHackers has an DIY piece on how to mix and use ABS solutions: Use the ABS Juice for better bonding to the print surface, ABS Glue is a better alternative to super glue and hide those seams with ABS Slurry.

Update 4/24/2019 (WARNING): I got a part so stuck to the table that I damaged the coating on my Prusa I3 MK2 table.
