Less expensive than competition
Terrible filament path
Requires glue stick
Many say sensory toys are becoming more popular, not only among children but also adults.
“We saw it with the fidget spinners. When those things started entering schools I was thrilled because it means, oh my gosh, it’s normalized, it finally happened, yes! All of us can stim and be happy,” said Olivia Dawes.
“I think everyone stims and it’s really important that we normalize that, you know?”

April 9th marks 3D printing powerhouse Creality’s tenth year in business, and it is celebrating with a new line of color printers, a laser, and two scanners.
Creality focused on speed during 2023, releasing several high-speed printers such as the K1, K1Max, and Ender 3 V3 KE. The long wait for Creality’s entry into multicolor printing will end this summer with the launch of the K2 Plus and the Creality
A recent announcement that's shaken up the world of 3D printing is the debut of Micronics' Micron SLS 3D printer, which starts at $2999 and comes in a reasonably compact desktop form factor (akin to a Full Tower, but still). SLS 3D printing, for the uninitiated, differs from more accessible types of 3D printing, like FDM. For example, all our Budget 3D Printer picks are either FDM or Resin (SLA)
Featuring Klipper and a ridiculously large curtain fan, the Neptune 4 Max is a slightly faster but annoyingly buggy refresh of the Neptune 3 Max.

Researchers from Rice University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new 3D printing technology that recycles wood waste material. According to the paper Three-dimensional printing of wood in Science Advances , the new methodology results in 3D printed objects with the texture, appearance, thermal stability, and smell of natural wood. Also, in contrast with some other 'wood' 3D printing filaments available today, the new material is simply a water-based ink made of lignin and cellulose
Just like in any other project where proper planning is essential before initiating the work, estimating the cost for 3D printing is important, especially if you are working on a big project. This is important in helping you anticipate the financial resources you will spend in the process so that you can plan accordingly. Getting a detailed cost analysis is also crucial in helping you know how much you should charge your client if you are running a 3D printing business.

Two Trees’s SK1 is a familiar looking open frame Core XY 3D printer that uses vanilla Klipper for quality prints at remarkable speeds. The hardware is well-built, but there are typos in the control screen and documentation is sparse.

We’ve all felt the effects of technological innovation on our work and personal lives. Often, the influences are subtle. On rare occasions, however, the impact is so dramatic, it completely transforms the technological landscape as we know it. Sony’s recently announced Spatial Reality Display fits into this category. Akin to the seismic shift from black-and-white to color TV, the Spatial Reality Display has taken a quantum leap in the world of 3D, introducing consumers to
