Weekend Poll
It's been a wild couple of weeks in 3D printing hardware.

Sovol's 1+6 IDEX-toolchanger scored fast Kickstarter success, while LightMake gears up its campaign for the linear-motor quad-printhead L4. Meanwhile, Bondtech hit a snag: its INDX "hardened" nozzles miss spec, dragging Prusa along too. With Creality's K3 landing in a few months, brands are racing to pitch different fixes for multicolor waste.

We know most of you want a toolchanger, but does the kind matter? The mix of approaches makes them tricky to classify – do we even need to, if the results look the same?

That's a Lot of Cheese
Sovol's IDEX-toolchanger M1D 3D printer hit a milestone fairly quickly yesterday.

In an update on its campaign page, the company celebrated netting $2-million in pledges over the 130-minute window immediately following its launch. Things have slowed since then – 24 hours later and the total currently sits just north of $2.8-million. Putting things into perspective, the Snapmaker U1 netted $7-million in the same timeframe.

Rally Hard, Sit Soft
Alpine’s rally car seat has a soft spot for 3D printing

Lacoste and Alpine are giving their one-off electric rally car the full French-performance treatment, right down to where the "Crocopilot" parks his derrière. Parts of the rally seats are 3D printed using lattice structures designed to balance light weight, comfort, and performance. In rallying, where every kilogram counts, it’s a nice example of additive manufacturing doing delivering less material, useful cushioning, and function baked into the geometry.
