Troubled by a visible Z-seam? Don't worry, you have options!
That line on your otherwise perfect print? It's the Z-seam. But you don't have to live with it! Anycubic Slicer Next gives you control. Here's a quick guide to the common hiding methods:

I'm curious... which Z-seam setting do you use the most, and why?

Researchers at NUS just 3D printed metal circuits in mid air using a system called CHARM3D. It uses Field’s metal, a low melting alloy that cools fast enough to hold its own shape.
They can literally draw wires in space that conduct electricity, bend, and heal when reheated.
A step toward electronics that build themselves.
I had a request for an infill style bowl with ducks on. I decided to try out using the infill for the subject this time rather than the bowl itself. I used 30% cubic infill which made the duck families stand out nicely.😊

I still remember the first time I saw a 3D printer at work.
It felt like magic — objects appearing layer by layer, as if from thin air. But also limited. Flat, rigid, constrained.
Now? The game has changed.
🤖 6-axis robotics × 500°C extrusion × multi-angle precision.
No longer just printing layers — but printing in curves, angles, and forms nature itself would approve of.
💡 Here’s what most people don’t realize: this isn’t about size or speed. It’s about geometry. Printing along force lines instead of grids. Eliminating wasteful supports. Creating parts stronger, lighter, and closer to the way bones or shells are formed.
That shift is massive. It means lighter aircraft parts. Smarter prosthetics. Custom furniture. Even buildings grown instead of built.
Props to Massive Dimension × ABB Robotics for pushing the frontier. And to Florian Palatini for sparking the thought 👏
👉 Question for you: if factories can now print like nature grows, which industry gets disrupted first?
