What happened?

Prusa has released the first public preview of PrusaSlicer 3.0. Large parts of the application were rewritten to better support modern multi-printer, multi-bed and multi-tool workflows.

Key details

  • Each build plate can now carry its own configuration, and the old nine-bed limit is gone.
  • Multiple projects can be opened as separate tabs in one application instance.
  • The profile system has been redesigned around modern multi-tool printers and mixed nozzle setups.
  • A Lua-based sandboxed plugin system and a true offline mode are part of the new architecture.

Why it matters

A slicer is increasingly becoming a production-management tool rather than just a G-code generator. Plugins and multi-project workflows could be particularly useful in print farms and complex workshop environments.

Commodore 64 Ultimate Returns: A Retro Legend, Not a 3D-Printed One

Commodore.net has officially relaunched its legendary home computer as the Commodore 64 Ultimate, rebuilding the classic machine on modern FPGA hardware. We cover it here as a curiosity: it has no direct 3D printing angle, since the case is produced with classic injection molding using the original 1986 tooling, not 3D printing.

Bambu Lab: construction advances on a planned 3-million-printer Shenzhen hub

Bambu Lab is taking a major step toward building one of the world's largest 3D printer manufacturing bases. Its planned “3D Printing Intelligent Manufacturing Headquarters Base” in Shenzhen's Guangming District has moved into site-preparation and construction-access work. The complex is designed for an annual capacity of more than 3 million 3D printers and will combine manufacturing with research and development, component production and materials-related activities.
