A new OrcaSlicer fork with innovative solutions for printing in colors. It uses overhangs to hide a previous color and require a single tool change per layer, reducing time and waste. GitHub: github.com/sentientstar... YGK3D explain in detail how it works : www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5cv...

Vertical print of The Great Wave off Kanagawa, Katsushika Hokusai

Two colourful cats in colours with their right paw up. The left one has a patchwork style of colours while the right one has smooth vertical transitions of pink, yellow and blue with black patterns.

A detail of the right cat of the previous image where we can see overhangs dropping to make the color change.

Impressive jaguar in white, yellow and black. The white is transitioning a smoothly and the black is well contrasted. The belly looks great knowing it was printed with support. The tail is unfortunately missing, it has probably broken during the print

Wow after years of asking for it, Prusa has finally added the CERN OHL v2 license to printables ... but only the stricter variant 🙄 CERN OHL v2 is the only modern open source license protecting your functional 3D prints. It has 3 variants: strong, weak and permissive. #3dprinting #prusa

Bondtech, E3D, Prusa and the Orbiter Project have now all patented high flow nozzles. This is honestly sad, we are blocked for 15+ years with those now. But they are (all) a pain to cold pull 🫢 Patents list in the next post ⤵️ #3dprinting #nozzle #speed #Bondtech #cht #Prusa #E3D #fuge #Orbiter

Screenshot of the Prusa patent showing several tubes with special internal shapes. The too ones have a C shape and others a dual cavity shape.

Page of the E3D Liquifier nozzle that has a squished tube shape similar to their recently announced FUGE technology

Page of the Orbiter Twist Flow nozzle showing half of the internal. It has a zigzag or a sinus wave shape.

I was reflecting on 3D printer motion algorithms and I remembered this image. Klipper uses trapezoidal, RRF & Marlin can do S-Curve and the new Prunt firmware can be even smoother! With input shaping we are prioritizing the wrong dev! ➡️ Read more on my blog: ekunn.com/blog/2026/05... #3dprinting

This is screenshot of a Trinamic video with beer glasses sliding back and forth. The screenshot is at the moment where the glasses stop and change direction. The top one has the top surface of the beer almost flat and correspond to a S-Curve algorithm. The bottom almost put beer out of the glass and correspond to trapezoidal algorithm.

Screws look beautiful and I like to make them visible in products, but I have to admit that those hidden ones have some style too! It's based on a spring loaded mechanism and were invented by Jeff and Brandon Serle, who are cleanroom engineers. ➡️ flushfasteners.com #torx #fastener #screw #hidden
