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.

A dual-gradient sensor from HUST researchers targets both subtle touch and much larger loads in one structure.
The Chinese manufacturer is targeting reduced waste and downtime with different material-switching architectures.
On September 22, Bambu Lab introduced its first standalone laser machine: the R1 uses a 55 W CO₂ laser, offers a 600×300 mm working area and automatic laser alignment.
Snapmaker has opened its model platform to the public with more than 2,500 models, building its own printable-model ecosystem.
FCC records identify a Bambu Lab device with model number PF006P, while the label shown in the filing carries the P3C name.
We are developing custom firmware and a communication protocol for the original GD32F303 toolhead. Our first milestone is a safe, bidirectional UART link with a Raspberry Pi 4.
In Part 2 of the project, the Ender 3 keeps the same external dimensions and build volume. Its hollow aluminum frame extrusions are filled with about 4.5 kg (10 lb) of lead and reinforced to improve stability for extreme-speed printing.
Tom’s Hardware updated its 2026 3D printer recommendations on September 8. The guide offers a useful snapshot of how fragmented the desktop market has become across budget, multicolor, resin and professional categories.
