with MGM Studios Inc. leaning on 3D model repository Cults to prevent the keyword "stargate"  – which MGM owns the trademark for – from returning results. Never mind the fact that there are many other terms relating to the popular military sci-fi show that still return models, using that one specific search term on Cults (and seemingly only Cults) returns nothing.

Cults hasn't responded to a request for comment on the matter but taking it at face value, it's a visible reminder of how truly nonsensical automated IP enforcements by large companies can be.

The perpetual joke-turned-technical-challenge of running Doom on inappropriate hardware has found its way to the Prusa Core One, courtesy of Nils_N3DP on Reddit. Posted to the r/prusa3D subreddit and documented on Instagram, Nils' effort crammed the first level of the timeless, OG boomer-shooter onto their custom inverted-color Core One (which is itself a marvel – check it out).

But getting one on virtually any filament you could want? That's the rare feeling of a Polymaker Restock sale. Right now, and running through to July 5, 2026, you can grab deals sitewide, like 1 kg spools of Panchroma CoPE for $13, or, a rarer sight, Polymaker's nifty modular PolyDryer drybox system at 20% off.

Relativity Space is heading to Mars, well, its hardware is. NASA has picked the California-based 3D printed rocket maker to deliver its Aeolus science instruments to the Red Planet in 2028. Relativity will handle the rocket, spacecraft, cruise, and mission management, while NASA’s instruments study Martian winds, dust, clouds, and temperatures to help make future landings less of a white-knuckle affair.

With more filament brands phasing it out in favor of ASA as the better, safer alternative, the answer for most is probably "not recently."

We don't really use ABS much in the All3DP print lab anymore, and a poll we conducted about the best-selling materials across dozens of brands placed ABS nowhere on the list. Today, it's a hyper-niche holdout – a long way from its abundance in the early days of desktop 3D printing.

Despite being acquired twice in the past 14 months, the company is still innovating and releasing new products, specifically, four new cheerful colors of its signature Onyx GF, a chopped glass fiber-filled nylon exclusively for its FX-series industrial 3D printers. Designed for color-coded tooling, fixtures, and safety indicators, the material embeds color directly into the filament so there's no more painting or labeling. Onyx GF also comes in new white and grey. We're excited to see Markforged in the capable hands of Stratasys with that deal officially closing soon.

Snapmaker's U1 toolchanger has dropped back to its post-Kickstarter, pre-retail price of $849 as a part of the company's tenth anniversary celebration. That's good news.

But the great news for U1 users is that Snapmaker is fixing to bankroll community development for the printer, and has launched a $150,000 Innovation Fund. $50K is already set aside for the developers that shaped the printer's launch and early months, but $100K is still up for grabs. Over two rounds, 40 projects can win cash backing following an 80/20 split of expert judging and community voting.
