A teaser on LinkedIn shows an upcoming desktop 3D printer from shoe specialists Zellerfeld.

Posted by CEO and co-founder Cornelius Schmitt, we see the UI of this mysterious machine, ready with models from the company's library and Zellerfoam material. They'd be the first to say they're a technology company, even if you think shoes when you hear the name, so this move tracks well.

The message to go with the teaser is about not needing to wait for samples – it's for designers to speed up the validation of their designs. It would be very interesting to be able to personally print a pair at home for personal use instead, though.

Weekend Poll
There are a lot of satisfying moments to be had 3D printing.

But which is the most satisfying? Could it be the "pop" of a print springing free from the build plate, or perhaps the perfectly dialled support structure simply falling away from the part?. I know which I prefer – how about you?

Of the three big multi-material contenders from Formnext – the Snapmaker U1, Bambu Lab H2C, and Prusa Core One – the Bondtech-powered INDX system won handily, securing more votes than the other two combined.

E3D teased its future of high-flow nozzles at Formnext.

While the company’s big news at the show was a new recipe for its ObXiDian nozzles – the new ObXiDian 500, which offers superior non-stick, abrasives-resistance at higher temperatures – what caught my eye was a mesmerizing shiny green spinning thing. I’m easily distracted like that.

Representative of the company’s in-development Fuge technology, it’s a new internal geometry for nozzles that flattens the filament, rather than splitting it like Bondtech’s CHT does.
