Check it out. I got featured on @All3DP's Designer Spotlight 😊
This week's challenge? Read our Designer Spotlight on The Crafty Maker, check out his designs, and try not to print all his shadow boxes! #3Dprinting all3dp.com/2/designer-spotli…

Nine tools, built into one printer.

Bambu is doing it right. +1 more tool over the competitor.
To be honest, this could be bad news for INDX equipped systems if they execute this well (and they usually do..)

That last line is the one that bears repeating. Don’t ship things that you don’t at least have a high-level understanding of, it almost never works out.
The "whiteboard defense:" I should be able to pull you aside at any moment and ask you to explain any customer-facing system you've shipped. You should be able to clearly explain how it works and defend the decisions you made. This is my benchmark for responsible AI usage.
I don't expect line-level familiarity with the code. I don't care if you remember the exact function name or implementation detail. You may not even know it. I don't care.
But if I ask "why did you do X instead of Y?", "what happens if this actor behaves maliciously?", "what data structure did you use here and why?", or "where does this fail?" you should be able to answer confidently.
For PoCs, demos, experiments, whatever: I don't care. Generate 100% of it and understand none of it. Speed over quality every time in those specific scenarios.
But if you're shipping customer-facing work, you can't be shipping things you don't understand at a high level.

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?
I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev
• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions
AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution
Tested out the Wireless Inductive Coil kit from @BambulabGlobal Maker Supply. It is so cool and enables so many new options to include into 3D printable designs. I got some cool ideas already 😊.
I wish I could buy another pair of @headamame Precision headphones, but the shipping costs and import tariffs are brutal and more than I’m willing to spend right now. My son has pretty much claimed mine, so I’m back to using crappy headphones whenever I play my digital piano.

🛠 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐩 𝐏𝐫𝐨 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧! 👀
We’re always looking for ways to make the CryoGrip Pro experience even better, and this clever design from Professional3D definitely caught our eye. 😎
Meet the 𝐀𝐫𝐔𝐜𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫 — a simple add-on designed for CryoGrip Pro to help with build plate recognition and alignment.
After talking with the creator and putting it through some real-world testing, we think it’s a pretty neat community solution. 😊
𝐀 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬:
🖨 Black + white filament works best
🔥 ASA is recommended; PETG works well for lower-temp use
⚠ Avoid matte, CF, and GF filaments
And we’re not stopping here. 🌟
We’re also working with the creator on a more convenient clip-on version of the ArUco Marker. Stay tuned! 👀

Would you try an ArUco Marker on your CryoGrip Pro? 🤔👇

Three years ago I uploaded my first design and refreshed the page more than I should admit.
What I did not expect was the photos. Your Starry Night in a colour I would never have picked. A Great Wave next to a kitchen window. Orbit Echo lit up on someone's nightstand, three time zones away. I design a thing once; you make it hundreds of times, and every one is slightly yours.
Three years, one design almost every week, and a catalogue that grew in the direction you pushed it.
To say thank you, every tier on my Patreon is half price for the first month this week. Code TCM2Y, link in bio, until Thursday 10 September, CEST.
Year four is already on the build plate.

Just saw The Mandalorian and Grogu movie on @DisneyPlus and I must say, I'm not impressed. This movie could have been a episode on the TV show. This is some weak storytelling.

El CEO de CapCut viendo como un par de desarrolladores recrean su editor de vídeo pero 100% gratuito y sin marca de agua y no puede hacer nada al respecto porque no están haciendo nada ilegal
HAN CREADO UN CAPCUT GRATIS Y SIN MARCAS DE AGUA, Y YA TIENE 62K STARS EN GITHUB
CapCut te mete marca de agua, te bloquea funciones y encima te cobra suscripción.
Un grupo de devs se cansó y construyó la alternativa open source y gratuita.
Se llama OpenCut. Te explico todo:
Un editor de vídeo open source que están construyendo desde cero, con arquitectura basada en plugins.
La idea: una alternativa real a CapCut, pero abierta.
Sin marcas de agua, sin paywalls, sin suscripciones.
Lo que crearon:
→ Editor completo con línea de tiempo y multipista
→ Plugins nativos para expandir lo que puede hacer
→ Una sola app para web, escritorio y móvil (núcleo en Rust)
→ MCP Server, automatizaciones y soporte para agentes de IA
→ Licencia MIT: puedes hacer lo que quieras con él
Cómo instalarlo:
→ Clona el repo desde GitHub
→ Instala las dependencias
→ Ejecuta la versión clásica (disponible ya)
→ Sigue la nueva versión en new.opencut.app
Es exactamente lo que CapCut debería haber sido desde el principio.

I'd argue the only thing your team needs are gardeners
every team needs a gardener. someone quietly watching the stream of PRs flowing into your codebase, noticing the smells: the third isRecord this week, the lint suppressions creeping like ivy across your carefully planned garden. a steady hand tending the weeds that would engulf it in slop if left unchecked.
with careful grooming it stays a garden. every weed you pull becomes a rule, so it can't grow back. without that, it's just whatever grew.
I love my @headamame headphones, but these look sick too.
Build your Satyr 4 HiFi Headphones now with this seriously cool DIY project. 3D printable open back headphones that bring the sound for HiFi enthusiast, plus a unique suspension style headband! #3d #3dprinting #hobby #tech #new
H2D to H2C conversion completed!
It took me a bit longer than planned, mostly because I deliberately took it slow and took a few breaks along the way.
The conversion is quite involved, but definitely doable if you follow the instructions closely. I used a small powered screwdriver, which made all the screwing and unscrewing a lot less tedious.
Once everything was finished, I had to wait a little while for Bambu Lab to activate the new AP board. I had already filled in the activation form before starting the conversion, and less than 12 hours later it was activated, so I really can't complain.
I was actually surprised that everything worked on the first try.
Next up, I'm going to daisy-chain my two AMS 2 Pros and assign them to the Vortek nozzle side, which should allow me to use all six nozzles.
I'm also planning to add an AMS HT on the left, non-Vortek nozzle to complete the setup.
