Under pressure from groups seeking transparency about the Centauri Carbon’s underlying software, Elegoo has published the “source code” for the Elegoo OS the printer uses.

By relying on spools of metal wire, this robotic technology is making on-demand manufacturing a reality for forces in the field.
The hot ends release in a punchy new purple colorway that, as well as add a splash of color, boost the peak performance of your budget Bambu machines.
To be clear, this Google-branded DIY keyboard is not an official Google product. But it is officially peculiar, and if you want to build one for yourself, the files and a build guide are now online.
A post by Raspberry Pi CEO and cofounder Eben Upton details rising cost of some memory chips, and the difficult decision to increased prices.
Snapmaker’s vision of low-cost toolchanging 3D printing mixed with a savvy campaign that ticked all the boxes has set a new record for 3D printing hardware on Kickstarter.
Bambu Lab's first physical retail store has opened in Shenzhen’s MixC World mall, kicking off what company says will be a wave of physical locations for the brand, including internationally.
Launched in collaboration with LA-based tech-design firm Presq, the Fig.(0) is an “open-source” shoe designed specially to take advantage of the H2D’s dual extrusion capabilities, inviting user modification and redesign.
A blog post from the Swedish company described upcoming changes to its hotly-anticipated INDX extruder toolchanging system, including it's launch in November and preorder details.
Synbotron, seemingly a new player in 3D printer filaments, has launched its PEBA filament on Kickstarter, and with it some bold claims.

at least it is for YouTuber Mike Lake. Mike's spent three months making a video about "upgrading" his Porsche Boxter into a super-high-end GT3 RS using only PETG and his seemingly limitless patience. 681 hours of 3D printing went into the current status of his Boxter GT3 RS, with over 100 hours of print failures encountered too. As a Porsche lover with no hope of owning a Porsche, this brings a tear to my eye. Keep at it, Mike, keep at it. P.S: Is that an Integra Type R or a Silvia S15 in the background of the vid?
Prusa Research’s effort to make the act of 3D printing ultra-convenient took a big step forwards recently with an update to the company’s EasyPrint service enabling connection to some third-party printers. Just don't expect it to work with your Bambu Lab machine anytime soon.

your unwanted/failed 3D prints might end up in your mouth. As food. According to reports from interestingengineering.com, via the efforts of a specialized, gooey type of fungus, Biophelion discovered plastic can be broken down into the edible polymer pullulan. I guess that means we'll be keeping our Bambu purges in the future. Oh, and we've plenty of benchys laying around. Anyone peckish?
What happens when you cram a 120 W water-cooled diode laser, a 4 W infrared laser, and a 200 W CNC router into a single unit? An Acmer X1, it seems.
And not just any clear out. The Portuguese manufacturer of high-performance printers is clearing out its custom in-house machines, meaning all sorts of weird, non-standard build volumes are up for grabs. The printers are all used, large area V-Core 4 designs, but in many cases have Z-heights topping out at 100-150 mm. Now's your chance to enact that functional printer-as-a-coffee-table dream.
The print doesn't stick to the plate, or it does, but only partially. Maybe the print finishes, but the filament isn't it the best shape, so you end up with stringing. There are a lot of irritating things that can go awry when printing. What's the one 3D printing problem you run into the most?
