If you’ve never given 3D printing a try, or if you’re a seasoned pro looking for an upgrade, then Creality has the answer. A deal has popped up on the Creality K1C, a worthy upgrade over the original K1, and one that netted a 4.5 star score when we put it
Washington state proposes new 3D-printed gun controls with 'blocking features' and blueprint detection algorithm — proposal would carry sentences of five years in prison, $15,000 fine for violation
As 3D-printed firearms become a growing concern, Washington is the latest state to propose laws designed to curb the proliferation of such armaments. The new bill, seen for a first reading at the house level last week, would seek to prevent "the unlawful manufacturing of firearms by requiring three-dimensional printers be equipped with certain blocking technologies
New York State takes steps to ban 3D-printed guns — proposal requires 3D printer manufacturers to prevent weapon printing
New York State Governor Kathy Hochul has introduced new legislation that will force 3D printer manufacturers to stop their machines from printing guns and gun parts. According to 3D Printing Industry , the bill will help reduce the spread of ghost guns — unserialized firearms produced in home shops or unregistered factories — that are difficult to trace. The proliferation of 3D printers and
Generative AI tool helps 3D print personal items that sustain daily use

Bambu Lab H2C review: It saves plastic…but it's not quite a Tool Changer
Tom's Hardware Verdict
The Bambu Lab H2C solves the plastic waste problem with a massive feat of overengineering, called the Vortek Hotend Changer. It swaps color twice as fast as other Bambu Lab printers, but not quite at the blinding speed of a full tool changer. Like its H2 siblings, this is a premium “manufacturing hub” 3D printer with a large build volume and the ability to be fitted with a laser and cutter. It's a beautiful machine that’s easy to use
The first 5 things I printed after getting my 3D printer (and what I’d skip now)
These 3D prints I started with helped me learn fit, settings, and materials, but they also showed me which projects aren’t worth repeating.
This free and open-source slicer changed my 3D printing workflow
Orca Slicer made calibration easier, profiles more flexible, and everyday slicing faster without locking me into one printer ecosystem.
This Battery and Card Case Looks Like a Fujifilm Camera and I Love It
A Chinese design account, PerceBound, shared a clever 3D-printed Fujifilm camera-themed battery and memory card case. It's a silly, but great idea.

MetalPrinting Gauss MT90 3D printer offers office‑safe metal printing without powders — uses paste based metal extrusion (PME) tech
MetalPrinting was at CES 2026 with its next-generation metal paste 3D printer dubbed the Gauss MT90 . This device sets itself apart in the metal 3D printing niche with its compact desktop form, by working at room temperature, and by leveraging office‑safe paste based (patent applied for) metal extrusion (PME) tech, which
