It’s almost the end for Kickstarter but just the beginning for Watchtower. Thank you so much to everyone that has backed or shared the campaign. I never would have expected we could have raised $300k in 30 days! kickstarter.com/projects/wat…

lol never thought I’d be running a speed test for a bed at 20k acceleration and 500mm/s but here we are. The Antithesis Aether is a rad little printer.

My latest free tool, ScanRuler.com, can automatically reverse-engineer your 3D Scans! Just tell your AI agent to connect to the ScanRuler MCP give it an stl and tell it to reverse engineer it. A detailed video and a custom skill will be released in the next few days!

OrcaSlicer V2.5.0 Alpha is here 🐋 This is the most feature-packed release in OrcaSlicer's history: more than 950 pull requests from over 140 contributors. 🧩 Python plugins: extend the slicer without maintaining a fork, and share your plugins on Orca Cloud 🧱 Texture Displacement: stamp real, printable 3D texture onto any surface 🎨 Color mixing: blend new colors from the filaments you already have loaded 🏭 Belt printing: conveyor "infinite Z" printers, sliced natively 👯 IDEX & IQEX parallel printing: two to four parts at once ✏️ Design tab: a parametric CAD workspace inside the slicer (early preview) ⚡ Speed Dial: press Space, run anything Plus Tool-changing algorithm improvements, precise Seam modifiers, startup in about half the time, slicing ~35% faster, and hundreds of fixes. It's an alpha, so some of this is experimental. Back up the projects you care about. Full release notes: orcaslicer.com/wiki/releases…

Jackson took the @LDOMOTORSJASON UNIMOG for its first drive today. One of the wheels has got some pretty good wobble due to print tolerances but it didn’t seem to impact anything. Can’t wait to get the rest of it assembled!

Working on a new tool that automatically reverse-engineers 3D scans into really good CAD geometry. This example took a good hour, but man, does it look good and clean!

Another completed build! Thank you to everyone who joined along with @Steve_Builds and I as we built the Antithesis Aether. Such a wild design and super fun to watch print.

Turns out you CAN use ASA for things other than printer parts 🤷.

I’ve dreamed about this day for a while now. Finally decided enough is enough after streaming in the garage in the mid 90’s. I did a ton of research before hand but even with that ran into plenty of issues. It’s officially done and the garage feels incredible 🙌.

We got the @Siboor3dprinter Boom printing on today’s stream! Was a pretty fun build and the first time I have used @MarlinFirmware on a new build for quite some time. Thanks to everyone that joined!

Out of NOWHERE, @Sovol3d takes the toolchanging lead by storm with not 6, but 7 materials with IDEX?!? I'm very happy to be wrong on this one, it has everything I want in a toolchanger and more😍

It’s true. We’ve hired Ratdoux. We’re integrating Full Spectrum into Snapmaker Orca. And we owe it all to the community - check fb or discord for the full list of acknowledgements!

Precision. Space. Potential. What you're about to see is more than just a new machine. It's a new frontier for your creativity. Today, we leave one number to your imagination — the build volume. Tell us your guess in the comments. The closest 3 answers win a prize.
