What Next?
Elegoo has opened applications to a closed Beta test for "Nexprint", its upcoming 3D model repository.

Some "Elegoo Maker[s]" got an invitation to "claim your spot" in a 1,000 participant limited test that will run from May 9 to June 10. More than just early access to the platform, the company is offering filament coupons and extra repository rewards to testers.

In addition to its own library of models, Nexprint will feature "Open-Source Model Aggregation" that searches models "across Thingiverse, Printables, MakerWorld, and more," and one-click printing via OrcaSlicer. If you didn't receive an invitation, you can still apply to be a tester via a link on Elegoo's Discord.
