Cleaner print starts, better-looking surfaces, easier operation, improvements based on feedback from users and the community, plus upgrade paths for current owners, so your printer can keep getting better over time. Our entire printer lineup is getting a refresh! ✨ Introducing the Prusa XL+, CORE One L+, and CORE One+ (Gen 2). blog.prusa3d.com/better-prin…

Found a model on Printables that you like, but wish you could change its shape a little? That's where Blender comes in! 💡 In our latest article, we show you how to reshape a simple vase from Printables in just a few minutes, using only a handful of tools. It's also a sneak peek at our new Prusa Academy course on editing and remixing STLs! blog.prusa3d.com/blender-for…

So peoples are always asking what means of our name LDO, it came from 蓝德欧 (lán dé ōu) — the initials of our Chinese name. But L·D·O never got an official English meaning.
What are your three words? Best 3 entries will get LDO swags and production (randomly). @LDOmotors

Maker Meditat is creating full-color halftone prints on the Original Prusa XL using his custom Blender Geometry Nodes tool. 🎨 Instead of traditional multi-color printing, it directly modifies the print paths to create smooth color gradients. youtu.be/0Cv7SD7GA8w

Did somebody say E3D @BondtechAB INDX nozzles? 👀
Come and check them out on our booth this weekend at @3DPrintopia 😍
Tim Postma retweeted
TechRadar gave the CORE One+ with INDX 5/5 for performance and 5/5 overall. ⭐
After weeks of testing, one result says a lot: 27 models printed in the same time another machine managed 15. And with very little material wasted along the way.

The first public preview of PrusaSlicer 3.0 is out. ✨ We rewrote a huge part of it from scratch - with a completely redesigned UI, a project system, profiles, much better performance, safe plugins, and much more. blog.prusa3d.com/prusaslicer…

Sometimes, the most useful upgrades are the simple ones. ✨ A nozzle wiper was one of the features our community asked for most, so we added it to all three refreshed Prusa 3D printers. Before each print, the built-in wiper removes leftover filament from the nozzle. This helps stop loose strands and small blobs from ending up on the print surface, giving every print a cleaner start.

At Prusa, we calculate when does injection molding become cheaper than 3d printing for lots of parts. And often, 3D printing wins in the first 10,000-20,000 pcs. Then you are finally breakeven. And even then, mold takes forever, can't do complex geometry, can't iterate shapes...
Tim Postma retweeted
So we recreated Destin's knob for the SmarterScrubber to show how mass production 3d printing can make one part every 6 seconds.
If a part takes ten minutes to print.
And you have 100 machines
100 parts every ten minutes
10 parts every minute
1 part every 6 seconds.
3D printing scales fine. There are just to many historical fallacies floating around.

Summer is peak season for beekeepers! 🐝🍯 We’ve teamed up with P-Hive for a new contest: design practical 3D-printed tools, hive add-ons, and workspace upgrades to help beekeepers sort, clean, and improve their setup. printables.com/contest/519

Okay, here we go! Out for the usual Saturday shopping in my #3DPrinted shoes made out of @BIQU_Makers’ #MorPhlex in #purple. The size 10 was a touch too small, and these in 11 are a tad loose, so if I print another pair, I’ll have to see if I can get the customized to crank out a 10 1/2.
So far, they’re comfortable, but I’ve only been in ‘em for 15 minutes. We’ll see how they hold up to the Costco experience.🤪🤣

You asked for a more affordable, high-quality filament - and the new Buddy3D delivers exactly that. ✨A 1 kg spool is available for €14.49 and the new Buddy3D features an improved formula, richer and more vibrant colors, and tighter dimensional tolerances. And because it’s not only about the filament itself, its manufacturer now also supports OpenPrintTag NFC.

Holy crap! We spent a couple of hours catching up on the Reckless Ben situation and the $200,000 in LEGO stolen by Bricks & Minifigs.
That company, and the American Fork police are unbelievably corrupt. Wow. The targeting, unlawful arrests, illegal searches, police lying, corrupt judges. All of it on video, the people demanding accountability.
Ben is an amazing story teller. If you have the chance, go to Ben’s channel and start with his oldest video on the LEGO about a month ago.
