🔭 Reviews
Anycubic Photon P1: Full Review
The Anycubic P1 is one of the most unusual resin 3D printers we've seen: dual vat system, 14K screen, industrial ball screw… Fabbaloo just published their three-part review with print results and a final verdict.
If you're thinking about picking up a new resin printer, it's well worth a read before you decide. Read the full review →
⚠️ Safety
AmeraLabs Releases Free Resin Safety Guide
A research-backed guide that busts 23 myths about 3D resin safety. It covers ventilation, PPE, pregnancy risks, food-safe resins, and permanent acrylate sensitization.
That last one is worth paying attention to: once an acrylate allergy develops, it doesn't go away — even if you stop printing. That's why we recommend reading this guide before working with any 3D resin. Download the free guide →
💻 Software

🔬 Industry
CEAD begins recycling industrial 3D printing waste
Dutch company CEAD has installed a WEIMA industrial shredder to convert reinforced thermoplastic parts into reusable flakes. They are now researching how to re-pelletize the material to create new 3D printing filament.
The 3D printing recycling trend is picking up serious momentum — from desktop (Creality) to industrial scale (CEAD). Read more →
💬 Our take of the week
Filament recycling is shaping up to be one of the biggest topics of the year. Creality tackling the desktop segment, CEAD going industrial, OrcaSlicer cutting purge waste in multicolor printing… it all points in the same direction: less waste, more sustainability.
If you print a lot — especially multicolor — start saving those purge towers. They might be worth something in a few months. 😉
