Fabreeko Launches Updated LDO Voron Kits Dubbed ‘Rev D’ - Link
Fabreeko is offering an upgrade for their LDO Voron 3D printer kits, called "Rev D". This upgrade brings several improvements including a new Leviathan controller board with better drivers and Raspberry Pi compatibility. It also features a new Nitehawk SB toolhead that simplifies wiring and includes an accelerometer. The extruder gear has been upgraded for better print accuracy, and other parts have been improved for performance and durability. Orders are now available and Fabreeko is quoting a 24 hour turn around time.

Helio’s Dragon Software to Improve 3D Printing By Solving Physics Problems - Link
3D printing experts are aiming to improve 3D printing by understanding the physics behind it. David Hartmann and Dr. Xiaofan Luo co-founded Helio Additive to create Dragon, a software that optimizes the process.
Dragon analyzes G-code, a common 3D printing language, to fine-tune settings. This can significantly reduce wasted prints, leading to faster printing (20-30% increase) and better quality. They achieve this by focusing on large format printing for now, but will expand to desktop 3D printers later.

3devo launches filament based on recycled SLS powder - Link
3devo has developed a way to recycle used nylon powder from SLS 3D printing into new filament. This reduces waste, lowers costs (especially for expensive nylon powder), and is overall better for the environment. The recycled filament is high quality and allows for more frequent prototyping and experimentation in industries like aerospace and medicine.

Simplicity wins again with this design. This is just two little arms that you tape to the bottom of your monitor but it really helps to clean up your desk and make the information on your phone more readily available. I am already planning to print this so that I can keep our baby monitor app up at night while playing video games. It’s a quick, cheap print so definitely worth checking out!
