Failed prints, support structures, prototypes destined for the bin, the colorful "poop" purged during multi-color prints – if you're involved in 3D printing, you likely have a growing collection of filament waste. It's a common sight in workshops and labs. This often leads to the
FDM 3D printing is a quite common 3D printing technology that builds objects layer by layer by extruding melted material through a filament. Like any other printer, a 3D printer also experiences wear and tear and breakdown if it’s been in operation for ages. Ensuring its maintenance on time
