🎉 Breaking news! A 3D-printed book can now convert its own G-code into raised lettering. Because clearly, what humanity needed was a self-referencing paperweight that’s slightly bumpier. 📚🤖

In our next update, Batch Costing.

You'll be able to import multiple gcode files or load multiple manual prints into a single costing flow.

We also took the opportunity to do a UI refresh and it looking pretty nice.

Filament-only pricing looks fine until you scale it.

At 100 prints, small ignored costs become a real gap: electricity, wear, failure risk, and time all add up.

Are you pricing each job properly, or slowly undercharging yourself?

The plastic is only the start.

A print that uses €0.69 of filament can still be a €6.90 job once you include electricity, failure risk, and time.

Are you pricing the full job, or just the material?

A CNC AI answer should be traceable.

Ask CNC Passport now starts with G/M-code questions: prepared references first, AI answer second, visible source block after that.

Useful for checking commands like G41, G71, M98 or G20/G21.

NCPlayer now includes Timeline Mode: a way to inspect a CNC program as movements over time.

It helps connect G-code lines, toolpath and execution order, especially around rapid/cutting transitions and mode changes.

NCPlayer collaboration mode helps CNC teams review the same G-code in one shared context instead of exchanging screenshots and file versions.

Useful for pre-run checks, remote operator support, training, and postprocessor troubleshooting.

3D-печать на стероидах: как я научил Creality K1C считать затраты филамента

Чуть больше года назад я купил себе Creality K1C. В целом принтер меня устраивал, но со временем обнаружились кое-какие неудобства и недочёты, и мне захотелось допилить аппарат под себя. В статье расскажу, как я заменил дефолтный примитивный интерфейс и лагающий лаунчер, а самое главное — настроил подсчёт филамента, чтобы мониторить остатки и обеспечивать бесперебойную печать.

3D-печать на стероидах: как я научил Creality K1C считать затраты филамента

Когда в конце 2024-го я купил Creality K1C, он показался мне иномаркой по сравнению с «Жигулями» — моим прошлым 3D-принтером. Тот я настраивал месяца три, а...
