Group Hug
A Tinkercad update has added a "bundle group" function.

Now, disorganized souls like myself can group objects together without resorting to union groups. The objects remain distinct and separate, but can be manipulated together. Tinkercad says the difference in processing time between a using bundle group and union group is significant – instant versus, depending on the group's complexity, minutes. Happy days.

Tooled Up
Bambu Lab announced the Vortek yesterday, and Prusa has clapped back.

We knew a "next gen" MMU of some kind was in development at Prusa Research, but could this be the very first glimpse of the shape it will take? Shortly after Bambu Lab announced its future vision for multicolor printing, Josef Prusa took to X in typically wry fashion, posting a popcorn emoji and this image of a toolchanging Prusa Core One with at least six tool slots.

Interesting times.
