A world record has been set for the speed of 3D printing

What do you think of when you hear the word “3D printing”? Most people initially associate the latter with ordinary printing on paper (2D), but in this case it is a three-dimensional application of material from which a 3D model is created. There are many different 3D printing technologies, but the most commonly used is FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication). It involves melting the filament, which is then applied to the working surface of the 3D printer by a guided nozzle moving along the X, Y and Z axes. This is repeated layer by layer until the entire 3D model is created.

3D printing is interesting, but relatively slow. The best printers take between 15 minutes and 30 minutes to print a test miniature 3D model of a ship. But Monika McWuff made the decision to significantly speed up the printing speed of the mentioned 3D model. And she succeeded in doing so, namely with a redesigned Ender 3 Pro 3D printer that offers a filament flow rate of up to 130 mm/s3.

While the best printers take between 15 minutes and 30 minutes to print a test miniature 3D model of a ship, the converted Ender 3 Pro printer took just two minutes and nine seconds. This broke the world record set by a fan with the pseudonym Beraval. His time was two minutes and 40 seconds.
