Newcomer Duroxen has taken to Kickstarter to get its eponymous desktop CNC lathe off the ground and into your workshop. But what is a lathe even, and what does that sub-$1,000 pledge get you?
Cret Bee's 2.0 photosensitive 3D printing resin, Atlas, maintains ≥90% of its toughness over two years, serving as a direct replacement for injection-molded plastics, at $39.99 per kg.
The Pro4's upgraded heating unit may finally deliver the solid temperature consistency your moisture-sensitive filaments have been asking for.
Push your printer to the limit with 30 mechanical 3D printed puzzles. From secret boxes to complex jigsaws, these designs are ready to print.
It's the real deal, launching last week after a short debut at Rapid + TCT. The Canvas filament changer unit – along with all the components needed for the upgrade – costs $55 from Elegoo's webstore. If you order one now, though, you’re in for a wait. Lead times have ballooned; first-batch orders ship this month, but an order placed today won’t leave Elegoo's warehouse until late August. Oof.
You use your machines for hyper-specific household fixes and functional engineering: 52% of you said as much in a poll late last year. Last weekend, we sorted the "Browsers" from the "Creators" and found a surprisingly close split: 57% of you upload the models you design, while 43% strictly download and print.
This weekend, we’re looking at that 43%. If your public profile is still sitting at zero uploads, I want to know what’s stopping you. Is it a lack of time, or are your designs just too niche to be worth sharing?
Stop warping and cut noise without breaking the bank by building a professional grade 3D printer enclosure for under $100.
Catering to a variety of needs and budgets, check out our list of the best 3D printer metal filament brands on the market right now!
As part of Anthropic’s Claude for Creative Work launch, Autodesk Fusion is now available through Claude, turning natural language prompts into real design actions, bridging concept and manufacturable output.
Siraya Tech's one-part 3D print coating has started to roll out for a larger audience, landing in Europe, Japan, and coming soon to other regions too. The coating comes in two types for a clear or matte effect that's said to give "injection-mold" like finish to 3D printed parts.
By coordinating 100 lasers across a massive 3,050 mm build plate, this ultra-large-format system for titanium, aluminum, steel and more, eliminates the need for welding rocket thrusters or structural aerospace parts.
If you love playing D&D, join us on an adventure to discover the best free DnD 3D print files and 3D models and where to find them!
We spent three months print-testing the new rePETG Loopfill to see if recycled waste can deliver the strength, clarity, and printability we expect from PETG.
A quiet expansion of licensing options on Thingiverse caught our eye recently, revealing one of the first moves to reposition the site as a space for engineers to post, collaborate on, and eventually even manufacture and monetize their projects.

The wait is over but, important to note, what's now available is more than previously shown, with faster calibration tech and massive material savings at nozzle priming. It also sold out near-immediately, so you may be in for a wait before you can get one.
The open-source hardware-minded CERN-OHL-v2 licenses are now an option there – we'll be covering that in a dedicated story soon (it's a pretty interesting development).
Looking into the regular licenses offered across repositories though, we see an awful lot of dense, difficult to parse and nearly identical options. How many of you are actually affected by them, though? So let's ask the question – are you uploading models for others to use, or simply browsing and downloading files to print?
From quick weekend projects to high-performance FPV builds: This all-in-one guide helps you choose the right 3D printing files, mastering the best filaments, and successfully launching your first 3D printed drone.
– a new Prusa subscription expands usage limits. Starting at $8.99 a month for the "Basic" tier, you get 20 GB of file storage plus HD camera streaming and longer slicing time using the EasyPrint cloud printing tool. A "Premium" tier adds even more of all three at $29.99. There are discounts for annual subscriptions.
Paid users will get access to the Prusa Connect Farm mode when it launches soon, too. Regular Prusa Connect can handle multiple printers already, but only in isolation. Farm mode treats them as nodes in a network for job assignment and other more productive usage.
This compact laser-powered system promises industrial-grade results for small shops, delivering metal parts from a scrappy little company with big ambitions.
