Changing the tip/tips on a Professional Stratasys FDM 3D printer can seem like a pretty big job, but if you approach this with a ‘pit crew’ mentality of, get in and get out, it really is a quick and easy procedure. Here are a few “tips” for changing the tips.

In my first month working with GoEngineer I have been surprised that so many of our prospective customers already love 3D printing and have great interest in 3D Printers. They’ve seen 3D printed metal parts, concrete houses, working hearts, and more.

Many of my coworkers are into drones, and they talked me into buying one. Once I got my drone, I noticed that the propellers are not protected as you’ll see in the image below.

Stratasys Objet desktop PolyJet 3D printers have a Log file that contains a time sequenced history of events of the printer activities. It contains error codes, calibrations, positions, and generally a snapshot of what the 3D printer is doing at the time. It is an invaluable troubleshooting tool and is often requested by Stratasys for analysis when diagnosing printer issues.
