And there’s more to come. Right now, you can download and print the Formism Arc styles from MakerWorld. They are the free component of what will eventually be a nine-shoe collection.
Formism by SCRY’s ongoing crowdfunding campaign on MakerWorld offers an additional three "Persona" silhouettes, with files dropping to backers the day after the campaign ends on February 9. The final trio, the "Foam" series, will follow later in January.
The SCRY collection as showcased also gives us a sneak peek at a sleek new material – silver TPU 90A – which Bambu Lab expects to release in February.
By reprogramming a patient’s own cells into functional tissue, this multi-year research program aims to eliminate organ waitlists and the need for lifelong anti-rejection drugs forever.
While most manufacturers were busy shouting about their holiday sales, Qidi Tech quietly slipped a new machine under the tree. The Qidi Q2C is officially out, stripping out some of the Q2’s features for a lower price tag.
By eliminating complex assembly and traditional lead times, this food-safe, single-piece nozzle demonstrates how additive manufacturing is ready for food manufacturing.
Coat hangers. Stacks and stacks of them.
It's an awkward shape for most print beds, but on a printer large enough, they work great when stacked high.
Most of my prints land on the dull/practical/convenience end of the spectrum, rather than anything artistic or aesthetic. But that's the beautiful thing about printing – it accommodates so much variety. So tell me: What are we all printing these days?
This means that all of the Core One, Core One+, and Core One L join the MK3S+, MK4, and XL as validated to print compliant, self-extinguishing parts (provided they're printed according to basic criteria) using the company's Prusament PETG V0 material.
The Gauss MT90 swaps messy powders for proprietary "metal ink" cartridges starting at $150, bringing desktop metal printing to a potentially more affordable price point.
Co Print has revealed its next hardware play, the Quadro, a bed-slinger designed to tackle the material waste of multicolor printing with four independent toolheads on a single gantry.
Content creator Loyal Moses explores this exact scenario in a two-minute short called Payment Received. This extended look explores the motivations behind the idea, a near-future where owning a printer isn't illegal, but the filament and files are.
Another smart home electronics manufacturer wants a piece of the desktop printing pie. MOVA, a brand best known for its robot vacuums and lawn mowers, has used CES 2026 to launch AtomForm, a new 3D printing sub-brand debuting with an ambitious 12-nozzle machine called the Palette 300.
With the strategic takeover of Forecast 3D, Addman’s fleet surges to over 160 systems and adds a West Coast manufacturing powerhouse to expand polymer production.
Alongside CES this week, Proto Pasta has shown off its self-proclaimed world's first quantum dot filament. The material uses "quantum pigments" – tiny crystalline semiconductors –that are UV reactive, creating an intense glow with 365nm wavelength blacklight.

A number of posts to social media, plus an independent investigation by YouTube channel 3D Musketeers, suggests the A1's original power distribution board at risk of melting components in rare situations. Bambu Lab assures us the risk is minimal and remedied in newer machines.
The design is up for voting on the Lego Ideas community design site. As far as iconic printers go, it's certainly representative of the world populations' experiences with 3D printing, but are there other printers more worthy of being immortalized in Lego?

Following the soft launch of the SparkX brand and hint at new hardware, we now have a clear picture of what the SparkX i7 actually is – a "lifestyle" printer of a sort, offering ease of use over granular control.
It won’t print, but this Ender 3 V2 replica in Lego has the potential to become an officia set, provided it gets enough votes and passes muster in Lego’s evaluation stages.
The move is to soothe the pre-print jitters of early adopters of this new printer, promising direct support and even compensation if the machine stumbles out of the gate.
Softly launched before the holidays via a press release, Spark X sounds like Creality’s full embrace of AI and “smart” appliance-like functionality.
First layer problems get a lot of attention, but failures mid-print – when you aren’t watching – are more frustrating. What do you do when they strike? We’ve got you covered.
I've enjoyed putting questions to you All3DPers (All3DPeers? We need to workshop the name a little) this year. And since it's been a quiet couple of weeks in the land of 3D printing, rather than comment on what has happened lets sign the year off with a big broad speculative question for you to answer about what's ahead. What's going to matter most to you in desktop printing next year?
