The Flashforge AD5X is a stripped-down Core XY that has excellent print quality but is hampered by a flawed version of OcraSlicer. The base unit lacks creature comforts like lighting, a camera, or an enclosure, which can be added to the printer as upgrades.
Four color printing
Smaller footprint with filament spools on the side
Easy to load
Quick change nozzle
Flawed Slicer
No camera
No lighting
Touch screen requires pressure rather than touching

Flexible resins have a problem: printed pieces tend to harden over time, sometimes within just a few weeks. AmeraLabs, a European-based resin manufacturer, claims to have solved the problem.
"Most flexible resins are a compromise – they start soft but gradually harden over weeks or months," said Andrius Darulis, co-founder of AmeraLabs, in a press release. "We developed FLX-300 to maintain its properties over time. This opens up real engineering applications,
You’ve got one of the best 3D printers , and whether it's one of the best budget 3D printers , or something a little more spendy (like the Prusa CORE One ), you need tools to keep it running smoothly.
Yes, you get some tools in the box, but investing in a dedicated 3D printer toolkit will make short work of caring for your 3D printer.
Amazon's Prime Big Deals Day event is over, but there's a veritable flood of sales still ongoing at multiple 3D printer makers. In addition, there are still some deals to be had at Amazon, too! We're still tracking the great 3D printer deals, so there's still time to grab one of the best 3D printers and a few rolls of filament to
Amazon's Prime Big Deals Day event is in full swing, and I took this opportunity to take a closer look at some of the great 3D printer deals while there is still time to grab one of the best 3D printers and a few rolls of filament to keep you printing.
Currently, there are numerous great deals on mainstream FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printers that utilize common filaments such as
I spent last weekend at Maryland’s 3DPrintopia, a celebration of all things 3D printing . The event is an eclectic mix of the latest tech, mixed with homebrew 3D printers, merchants, and geeks showing off their latest projects. Over 3000 visitors and hundreds of exhibitors
You’ve got one of the best 3D printers , and whether it's one of the best budget 3D printers , or something a little more spendy (like the Prusa CORE One ), you need tools to keep it running smoothly.
Sure you get some tools in the box, but getting a dedicated 3D printer toolkit will make short work of caring for your 3D printer.
Scientists from the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have demonstrated what they describe as a “next-generation 3D printing system.” The key innovation here is a multiplexed nozzle, which can deliver scalable 3D printing to industry while minimizing the typical tradeoffs in output size, weight, and complexity. Crucially, the tech also enables printing with different materials at the same time.
