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.

Anycubic Kobra 3 toolhead – successful firmware backup and the first steps toward a CAN-based Klipper toolboard

Anycubic Kobra 3 Toolhead Project – Another Milestone: Successful Firmware Backup and Preparing for a CAN-Based Toolboard Today marked another major milestone in the Anycubic Kobra 3 Toolhead project. Our objective is not to modify or preserve the original firmware. Instead, we are developing a completely custom firmware that will transform the factory controller board into a Klipper-compatible CAN Tool MCU with only minimal hardware modifications.
