Editorial Disclosure
This page states how 3D Filament Guide makes money, how its articles are produced, and what a recommendation here is and is not based on. It describes what this site actually does today, not what it intends to do.
How this site is funded
Some articles on this site contain Amazon affiliate links. If you buy something through one, this site may earn a commission, and the price you pay is unchanged. Every article that carries such a link shows a disclosure notice at the top of the article itself, not only here.
That is the only way this site earns anything. It runs no sponsored posts, no paid placements and no display advertising. No vendor has paid for coverage here, and none has been shown an article before it was published.
A product is only linked where the article already recommends it on the basis of published specifications and documentation. The commission does not decide which product is recommended, and no article is written in order to carry a link. Where a product is worth naming but the retail listing is ambiguous, the article points at the manufacturer instead.
What a recommendation here is based on
Assessments here are based on published specifications, vendor and project documentation, research papers, and results published by whoever produced them. They are not based on first-hand testing in a private lab, and no article on this site should be read as a measurement report of its own.
Where a claim depends on someone else's measurement, the article names whose measurement it was so you can weigh it yourself.
How articles are produced
Articles are researched from primary sources, drafted with AI assistance, and then edited against the sources they cite before publication. This is an AI-assisted publication and says so rather than implying a newsroom that does not exist.
Everything is published under the 3D Filament Guide Editorial byline. That byline is the site's publishing identity. It is not a named individual, it carries no professional certifications, and no article here claims otherwise.
What this site does not do
- No paid placement, and no sponsored content presented as editorial
- No vendor review or approval of drafts before publication
- No undisclosed affiliate links
- No invented scores, benchmark numbers, or test results
- No claim of first-hand testing that did not happen
Corrections
If something here is wrong, email [email protected] with the page address and what it should say. Substantive corrections are made in the article itself.
Independence
3D Filament Guide is independently operated. It is not owned by, funded by, or affiliated with any vendor, platform, manufacturer or service it writes about. If that ever changes, this page changes with it.
