PRUSA 3D Printing Podcast

AI is everywhere now, but are there any real practical uses for it in 3D printing? Are we developing any AI assisted tools? How are creators on Printables using AI to create models? We tackled these and many more questions in our latest Prusa Podcast.

We nerded out with Fotis, Wekster and Fixumdude about creating models for 3D printing. Our surprise guest Grant from 3d Musketeers shared his thoughts on the new features in PrusaSlicer 2.6.1. And we chatted about other recent 3DP news.

We talked with Ben and Garth from the Meshtastic project, we also discussed the new self-extinguishing filament from the Prusament team.

Thomas Rahm and Daniel Schubert worked on better support structures for 3D printing. Our implementation of Organic Supports in PrusaSlicer is an evolution of the tree supports by Thomas, which are significantly improved tree supports originally from Cura. We would like to thank the Ultimaker Cura team, Thomas Rahm and Daniel Schubert for the effort they have invested into the problem. Thomas and Daniel accepted our invitation to visit our headquarters, this interview was recorded during their visit.

3D printed guitars and amps, automatic generation of dowel pins in PrusaSlicer 2.6, new studio and more!

First time from a new studio!

We talked with Alain, our firmware developer, about how the loadcell sensor on the Nextruder works. Turns out, it's way more involved than simply detecting the reading crossing a threshold! Of course we also talked about other parts of the firmware development and about other news.

We talked about the newly released MK4 and answered your questions. (Re-upload, first upload had 10 minute of music at the beginning by accident)

PrusaSlicer 2.6 alpha 1, new white Prusament, MK3 firmware, guest @knafs_co

It's the last episode of the year and we're bringing in many guests to have some fun! You'll see 3DPrintingNerd , Neil3DPrints, Wekster , Dsk001, Chris and Liz from MakerDeck, and David Hewlett!

Hey everyone! It's time to look at the Organic supports in PrusaSlicer! We'll also talk with Mike from Diamond Kinetics about advanced analytics of baseball moves, using sensors prototyped on our 3D printers.

In this stream, we talked about the new Printables Analytics, new resin bundles, current designer contests and realistic Halloween prop-making with VanOaksProps.

In this episode, we talked about a brand new feature in the MK3S+ firmware called the Thermal protection model. And we were joined by the awesome maker Morley Kert, talking about 3D printing, his mobile repair station and more!

In this episode, we were joined by Adam from the Prusa Polymers team. We talked both about the new PA11 material but also about Prusament in general. We also looked at PrusaSlicer 2.5, which is now released.

In this episode, we talked with Chris Pirillo and BrittSithlord from Maker Deck. We also talked about the alpha version of MINI/MINI+ firmware that supports wifi connectivity. And we revealed an upcoming new Prusament material.

In this episode, we showcased the Community Feed feature on Printables.com, something we're excited to have finally out. We'll were joined by Dreaming Robotics and talked about their 3D printed electric spinning wheels that spin plant and animal fiber into yarn. The first PrusaSlicer 2.5 alpha is out, so we showcased that too. And we can't forget about MRRF recap and the article from our new Sustainability head.

Our guests were Juka and Silvestr from Make3D Company Limited, a very interesting company based in The Gambia. There, they use 3D printing for many use-cases critical for a developing country. Repairing bikes, printing braces for injured limbs or casting molds for emerging businesses. We also talked about the new Enclosure.

We were joined by Jaimie and Jay from Wicked Gamers.

Printables.com is here and you can bet that's what we talked about! And we were joined by JBV Creative, an artist and engineer creating awesome 3D printable designs.
