Marlin runs entirely on your printer's own board; Klipper splits the job with a host computer. Both now do input shaping and pressure control. Here is how the two actually compare — and who ships which one stock.
Read the story →Shenzhen's Snapmaker closed a ¥1 billion (~€129M/$140M) Series C on July 8, 2026, led by Cathay Capital, in what the company calls the largest consumer 3D-printing funding round in two years.
Formnext Asia Shenzhen's August 2026 edition gets a hands-on Maker Day with factory tours and an open-mic forum, plus a formal matchmaking program pairing overseas distributors with Chinese 3D printing giants like Bambu Lab, Creality, and Elegoo.
Creality's MakeNow platform now runs on Tencent's Hunyuan 3D V2.5 model, letting users turn a photo or sketch into a printable file in minutes as the company courts a 2026 Hong Kong IPO.
The K1C is Creality's answer to the question of whether a 600 mm/s CoreXY machine can handle abrasive composite filaments without constant nozzle replacement. The answer is mostly yes, with caveats that matter for serious users.
Flexible filaments are not interchangeable. TPU, TPE, and TPC differ substantially in hardness, chemical resistance, print temperature, and long-term fatigue behavior. Choosing the wrong one means a part that either fails in service or was never printable in the first place.
The Ender 3 V3 replaces the classic bed-slinger architecture with CoreXY, adds input shaping, and targets 600 mm/s — all while maintaining the price point that made Ender 3 synonymous with budget FDM.
The A1 Combo sits between the A1 Mini and the P1S — a bed-slinger with multicolor capability aimed at makers who want a larger bed without stepping up to a CoreXY machine.
Two years after its launch, the X1 Carbon remains Bambu Lab's flagship enclosed CoreXY. We assess where it still leads, where newer competitors have caught up, and who it's actually for in mid-2026.
Bambu, Creality, Elegoo, and Anycubic together now sell the majority of desktop 3D printers worldwide. This is how Chinese manufacturers built that dominance, what it means for western competitors, and what comes next.
Schools from middle school makerspaces to university engineering labs have adopted 3D printing as a teaching tool. Here is what the evidence shows about outcomes, hardware choices, and what actually works.
Bambu Lab printers connect to cloud servers by default, raising privacy and reliability questions for users. This guide explains what data is collected, how LAN-only mode works, and what alternatives exist.
