D printers are sometimes compared to hot glue guns, in part because of similarities between hot glue and printer filament. However, analyzing the mechanical obstacles that ...
Maker Jón Schone recently showcased a slick new design that bridges the chasm between his first love of 3D printing - and hot glue guns.
The fundamental problem with multi-color 3D ... hot and fresh from a print run. Again, ick. [Stefan] eventually got a process down that produced decent, usable filament that would jam the printer ...
Probably the most correct yet unsatisfying answer is ‘yes and no.’ A key difference is that 3D printers use specially formulated filament, not hot glue sticks. But Schone mused that glue gun ...
