Bambu Lab's much-maligned security update came into effect last week.

Billed by the company as "Authorization Control for Enhanced Security", update 1.08.05 was at the center of a massive January controversy. Initially, the update was meant to be released January 23, but was delayed with no public release date.

If you want to integrate Bambu Lab functions outside of those printers in "developer mode", which enables an MQTT channel, it might be helpful to follow the company's new integration guide.

Saddle Competition Heats Up
3D printed bike saddles aren't a novelty anymore.

With 3D printed bicycle saddles now available from the likes of Specialized, Fizik, Posedla, and others, it's hardly worth mentioning yet another, except for the price. The BikeYoke Sagma 3D mountain bike saddle is half the price ($160) of the others indicating the cycle industry's solid adoption of the benefits of 3D printing. Check out this great hands-on (er, bottoms-on) review at Pinkbike.

The popular slicers were added to the feature quietly sometime in the last week, following its initial release with just Orca Slicer compatibility. It should make Prusa Research's 3D model repository a more streamlined experience for those who prefer the software.

Of course, soon you can just use the new EasyPrint cloud slicer.
