Take Your Worst Benchy, by MakerWorld user EmGi. This mutated Benchy is a prime example of all the ways a print can go wrong, and a handy reference of what not to look for in your prints. Prints quickly, looks awful, and I love it.

That's what's up for grabs in Womp's latest design competition collab. Teaming up with Work Louder, community-driven maker of the sexiest keyboards to grace the planet, Womp wants you to "remix a keycap into something uniquely yours". The keycap models already exist in Womp for standard (free) and Pro users, so all you need to do is get creative. The best model wins its creator $1,000, and recognition from both design-savvy brands. What are you waiting for? Get Womping.

It's Printables' sixth anniversary, and Prusa Research's STL repository is celebrating big.

Until the end of May, creators who've signed up for the promo are offering 30% discounts on their models. You can find designs by Shira, Wekster, soozafone, SASSy Design, and many more. Simply go to the site and click on the banner or follow this link, and celebrate with Prusa!

Following its invitation-only February launch, Prusa fully released the cloud slicer earlier this week.

The feature-limited 3MF generator feels like a stripped-down PrusaSlicer, and is great for quick prints you'd probably use basic settings for anyway. But it can be used from a browser or the Prusa mobile app. There are some tradeoffs compared to community print profiles, like no custom supports, but fills the gap with other flexibilities like plating multiple files in one print. Prusa has hinted at a possible subscription option for project cloud storage, but not for now.

In the same late-April update that unlocked the AMS 2 and AMS HT drying functions on Bambu Lab's X- and P-series 3D printers, the X1C interface was changed to match the H2D. Of course, if you haven't yet, updating your firmware may require you to download Bambu Lab's controversial 1.08.05 security update.

In addition to quadrupling the possible size of your workspace (now 2,000 units squared), you can change the workspace units from the default millimeters and inches to centimeters, meters, and feet. That, and apply a scaling factor of up to 1:1000.

The math hurts my head, but a post by Tinkercad about the changes shows how it's possible to fit an actual-size model of the Empire State Building into the app, something that would be impossible before.

There's just one model for now – a replacement beard comb for its OneBlade razor – but the program will result in a "digital library of open-access 3D-printable replacement parts for selected Philips products," says LePub, Philips' partner in the initiative.

Philips is just the latest to join Printables' now rather expansive Brands program, which encourages companies to share official mods, repair parts, and interesting models.

With Adidas renewing attention on single-piece 3D-printed sneakers with its new Climacool shoes, home-printing options are expanding rapidly, too.

Recreus' footwear-focused Filaflex filaments have recently been updated to introduce subtle new colors through a collaboration with Footwearology – a design lab and educational resource for shoe fabrication. Besides their regular colors, the company's Filaflex Foamy, Foamy 95, and 82A filaments are now available in Oat (pictured), Lavender, Mint, Azure, and Dusk hues.

China and the U.S. have agreed to a temporary 90-day reduction of 115% on their blanket tariffs. But don’t pop the champagne just yet. Printing prices that have stepped up over recent months are unlikely to drop suddenly. The costs incurred so far need to be eaten by someone, and could well end up spread across any new stocks imported under the lower rates.
