Parkside Multi Charger: Controller Architecture for the Basic and Pro Versions Development of the Parkside Multi Charger has entered a new stage. During the latest planning phase, several controller and power-switching architectures were compared to find a solution that keeps the Basic version easy to build while leaving enough room for the more advanced Pro model.
Read more Parkside Multi Charger – New Development Milestone Development of the Parkside Multi Charger continues to make steady progress. Recent work has focused not only on hardware and software development but also on establishing the project's public identity and communication. The project currently consists of two separate development branches: Parkside Multi Charger (Normal) and Parkside Multi Charger Pro.

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.

FCC documents reveal a 180×180×180 mm QIDI Smart 5 for PLA/PETG, with a claimed maximum speed of 600 mm/s.
With its new XH-M350G-2HR, Xihe Additive is moving beyond demonstrations: copper cooling components for AI servers and power electronics are entering batch-production applications.
Stratasys’ new F870 combines a 1000 × 610 × 610 mm heated build chamber, Nylon 12CF support and a focus on production tooling, fixtures and factory aids.
Prusa says its new foaming PLA can produce prints up to 65% lighter, targeting RC models, drones and other weight-sensitive parts.
Patient-specific LithaBone TCP implants made with Lithoz LCM technology are now a standard ordering option on KLS Martin’s IPS Gate platform.
Impossible Objects raised $40 million in Series B funding to scale its composite-based CBAM manufacturing technology.
Dutch startup Tesseract Technologies is developing a linear-motor and closed-loop control system, with a commercial launch planned for Q1 2027.
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.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is using camera-based AI inspection to analyze direct ink writing layer by layer and detect defects during the build.
MINGDA presented a signage workflow covering 2D graphics, 3D preparation, multi-color printing and post-processing.
