General info links on FDM/FFF 3D printing, and specific information on machines in basement.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is the most common term for this printing technology, but the term was/is copyright. Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) was coined by the open-source RepRap (Wikipedia) community in 2005 to avoid legal issues.

If you're new to FFF printing, this is a decent general overview: https://all3dp.com/2/3d-printing-for-beginners-all-you-need-to-know-to-get-started/ (Full article, 3,000 words, broken into small section.)
