A Maker Spent Nine Months Building the Core One Mini Prusa Won’t Make

Normally an upgrade in the universe of Prusa means upcycling parts from your printer into a newer, more capable (or bigger) printer. An industrious maker has flipped this concept on its head and repurposed a Core One kit into an on-brand-looking Core One Mini. Why? To prove they could.

Fortunate 500
RatRig is discontinuing the 300 and 400 size versions of the V-Core 3D printer.

The company tells us the 500 (500 mm³ build volume) version of its open source, configurable 3D printer has long been the most popular size, and that production costs and keeping full inventory for the less popular 300 and 400 versions no longer made sense.

Right now, those models are up to 10% off on the RatRig webstore. Owners of 300 and 400 will continue to benefit from all warranties, support, and software compatibility, the company tells us, with spare parts remaining available for the foreseeable future.

Bond. Laser Bond.
Can a tiny laser finally fix FDM’s weakest link?

FDM’s dirty little secret is Z-strength: layers that cool too quickly before the next layer arrives making prints delaminate like a stale croissant. Researchers at Germany's OTH Regensburg want to fix that with a laser-enhanced FDM printhead that preheats the surface just before fresh filament lands. Laser-assisted FDM has been studied for years and shown to improve layer bonding, so why is it still mostly trapped in the lab? Cost, safety, and reliability may all be culprits. Still, if this approach works commercially, FDM’s Z-strength problem might finally meet its Bond villain.
