Available now, Prusa’s Universal Storage System (USS) drybox looks like a “Swiss Army” box for filament storage, allowing external switching of desiccant, direct printing, as well as a hygrometer and thermometer for condition monitoring.
Bambu Lab's X1 3D printer line-up has entered its end-of-life service plan, effective today. Owners of any of the X1, X1C, and X1E can expect firmware and feature updates through to May 2027 and security patches through May 2029.
Snapmaker has released the modified source code for the three open-source projects that underpin the Snapmaker U1's firmware: Klipper, Moonraker, and Fluidd. The repositories went live on GitHub on March 30 – the final day before a deadline the company set for itself.
Stop looking and start printing: we’ve reviewed and picked the best 3D printers across many categories to help you find the best tech for your needs.
OrcaSlicer version 2.3.2 landed this week, with a hefty list of improvements and fixes including, critically, a fix to a safety vulnerability related to 3MF files, plus a wide set of quality-of-life improvements for Linux users of the software.
Alveo3D, the French 3D printing air filtration specialist, has released two new workshop-class fume extractors. FE150 and FE350 join the company's smaller, enclosure-specific solutions and mark an expansion into general purpose extraction suitable for heavier duty tasks and environments.
Prusa has delivered a firmware update for the MMU3 that cuts filament change times by up to nine seconds per swap – enough to shave hours off complex multicolor prints.
Snapmaker has confirmed April 10, 2026, as the date its U1 toolchanger will be available in stock across global warehouses, marking the printer's official transition from crowdfunded preorder to an in-stock, ready-to-ship product.
Polish filament manufacturer Rosa3D has launched two new foaming filaments: PLA LW Aero and TPU Flex LW. Both rely on active foaming chemistry – a blowing agent embedded in the filament – to expand the extrusion at printing temperatures.
MyMiniFactory’s acquisition of Thingiverse assumes a wave of anti-AI sentiment. But are plans to ban or block “AI” content justified, or even possible? I asked the folks who run some of the web’s biggest 3D printing repositories to find out.
Icon is no longer the only one who gets to run Icon's printers. The Austin-based construction technology company has announced the commercial availability of Titan, opening up its multi-story robotic concrete printing system to external parties.
Creality will soon begin crowdfunding a desktop filament extruder that gives you the ability to recycle printing scraps and waste at home, turning it into fresh printable filament. But there are caveats, and plenty of history to say it’s not so simple.
From budget-friendly single-nozzle systems to high-end toolchangers, here are the best multi-extrusion 3D printers for 2026 across five distinct categories.
New external kit from French filtration specialists Alveo3D adds ultrafine particle filtering to the Bambu Lab P2S’s native VOC-capturing charcoal-based filter.
Prusa Research is changing up its community referral program with a new offer of cash, plus Prusameters, and spools of Prusament on the line for owners who can get friends and family to buy the company’s machines too.
A project to explore layer mixing has resulted in Snapmaker Orca Full Spectrum, a slicer variant that introduces color-mixing functionality for theoretically limitless color 3D printing. I’ve tested it out and the results are astonishing.
Forget proprietary hardware—this open-source project from Sunnyday Technologies uses standard NEMA motors and generative design to bring pallet-scale concrete printing to your workshop.
Forums around the MakerWorld platform have been buzzing with posts of odd takedowns on innocuous 3D models. According to reports, Pop Mart, the maker of Labubu collectible dolls, is taking MakerWorld and Bambu Lab to court in China.
First shown at the IFA Berlin consumer technology show last year, Creality’s latest 3D printer in its flagship K2 series pushes the price lower, ditching the walls and door and offering multicolor out of the box.
A drip feed of dev videos on Prusa's YouTube channel is starting to build hype for the INDX upgrade (for us at least) though we're still waiting for confirmation when this multi-material upgrade will become available.
