Traditionally, 3D printer control boards have used simplistic 8-bit microcontrollers to command the stepper drivers and ultimately move the machine where it needs to go. Newer boards have switched ...

It seems as though we still can’t hit the ceiling on better control schemes for 3D Printers. Input Shaping is the latest technique to land on our radar, a form of resonance compensation that all but ...

Makers, hobbyists and developers looking to build their very own 3D printer may be interested in the MRR ESPA a 32-bit 3D printer control board with wireless connectivity. Based on the popular ESP32 ...

The old Soviet Union strictly controlled photocopiers, because they empowered individuals to share ideas that challenged state control. The restrictions ultimately broke down under the weight of mass ...

Managing your 3D prints no longer means being tied to your workspace. With Prusa Connect and other platforms, you can oversee, control, and optimize your printers from anywhere. Whether you’re a ...

New laws are targeting not just 3D-printed weapons, but the digital files, platforms, and machines that create them, raising ...

Watching the key Reverse Engineering threads, one detail that caught my eye is the certificate reportedly expires in October 2025; which suggests a new printer FW is required to keep printing. If this ...

New 'print blocker' proposals would force printers to scan and reject files, a move opponents say risks privacy and targets the wrong problem.

For the specific example Aurich gave--using non-Bambu filament--is there a good way for them to even force the issue? As I understand it, the current filament recognition system picks up an RFID on ...
