And of course, it is 2026, so we have to make some predictions for the 3d printing industry this year!!Links to OCL: https://blog.prusa3d.com/core-one-cad-files-release-under-the-new-open-community-license-ocl_127290/https://github.com/OpenCommunityLicence/OpenCommunityLicenceOur predictions for 3d printing in 2026: Grant: Tool changers - bambuElegoo becomes a MASSIVE competitor to Bambu - RE: DJI investmentINDXXXXXXXX - initial growing pains, but will be a successful launch overallLess startupsSls againPolyjet competitorsJacob:6 companies make indx printers or indx clonesMore high temp nozzles and hotends 350C+PPS prices to drop drasticallyEnclosed and heated chambers continue36 or 48v systemsTool changersIt is also fundraiser time for the @SanjayMortimerFoundation and Steve along with the @voron_design team are raffling off the Serial number 0 (yes the FIRST MACHINE) of the Voron 2, you can bid on it here: https://go.dojiggy.io/72a73eWant to check out the newest Prusa??
