  • Medium Build Volume: 220x220x250mm
  • Software: Cura
  • Filament Size: 1.75mm
  • Layer Thickness: 0.1-0.4mm
  • Nozzle Diameter: 0.4mm
This awesome 3D printer is perfect for hobbyists and beginners as it combines functionality with ease of use and affordability. 

This 3D printer is super simple to set up thanks to its modular design, plus it has a user interface that’s easy to use.

It’s also really quiet when compared to many other 3D printers on the market at just 50 dB, so you can print freely in your home without worrying about annoying noises and disturbing others in the house.

We love the filament run-out sensor and resume print functions, which mean even if there is an unexpected issue such as filament running low or a power cut, you can easily carry on where you left off. This is particularly handy as it means you won’t be wasting materials, electricity and time on starting the print again. 

Your prints are made simpler and with smoother finishes, thanks to the Carborundum glass plate that has improved adhesion and fast heating speed. This plate is an upgrade on older Creality models but luckily comes as standard on the Ender 3 V2.

Where to Buy Lite Hash Rate GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, 3070 and 3080 Graphics Cards

Image
While many of us rely on graphics cards to enjoy the latest gaming titles or to upgrade our PCs, their intelligent technology makes them ideal for alternative uses. NVIDIA GPUs are programmable, meaning they can be used for a range of activities from gene sequencing and weather simulation to mining cryptocurrency. Passionate about gaming, NVIDIA strives to find ways to ensure their GPUs " end up in the hands of gamers ", so we can experience cutting-edge technologies such as RTX real-time ray tracing as they were meant to be. What is Lite Hash Rate? Following the announcement in February that NVIDIA were reducing the Ethereum hash rate in all of their GeForce RTX 3060 graphics cards, they have now taken additional measures by applying a reduced hash rate to their new GeForce RTX 3080, RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti ranges. "Lite Hash Rate" or "LHR" for short, is the term given to these new GPUs, which contain a reduced hash rate making them perfect for gaming ...

Encrypted Data Storage vs Traditional Data Storage

Image
If you run a business, you may have large amounts of important data and files that need to be kept secure and confidential. So what’s the best way to keep this data safe? You need secure storage devices! A recent survey conducted by iStorage Ltd, found that some businesses may be at risk, with two thirds of data being stored on unencrypted storage devices. iStorage Ltd is an award-winning company and trusted global leader in PIN-authenticated, hardware-encrypted data storage and cloud encryption devices. Their research into data security found that 99% of people consider data security to be a necessary practice, but only 5% are following advice from the National Cyber Security Centre on data storage and backup. Not storing and backing up data with secure methods is causing a vast majority of data, and the businesses storing this data, to become vulnerable. Because of this, it's important to let businesses know about the importance of using encrypted storage methods, over tradit...
