Bambu Studio
PC Software for BambuLab and other 3D printers
Bambu Studio is a feature-rich slicing application designed to provide a smooth, project-based 3D printing workflow. It is built on PrusaSlicer and Slic3r foundations while adding Bambu Lab’s own interface, optimized slicing behavior, and printer-focused tools. The software is especially suited for Bambu Lab printers, but its open-source base also makes it relevant to the broader 3D printing community. It helps users prepare models, manage projects, adjust slicing settings, preview toolpaths, and send print-ready files to compatible machines. Bambu Studio emphasizes ease of use without removing advanced controls needed for more complex prints. Its main value is giving users a polished slicing environment that connects model preparation, slicing, and printer operation in one place. -

GComb
GComb is a gCode viewing tool with an interior focus
GComb is an open-source quick and easy Java tool intended to ease the lives of all 3D printing hobbyists by providing a look inside a “sliced” GCode file and a better view of what is going to be printed, before it is printed. It works by parsing GCode files and producing an image for each layer of the printed object, any of which can then be viewed. GComb was originally written on Mac OS X using Eclipse with Java version 1.7.0_25, and was made for a Makerbot™ The Replicator Dual printing Skeinforge 50-generated GCode files. The jar file in the package was compiled for use by Java versions 1.5 and greator but, its compatibility on different operating systems and utility for different printers and slicers than those it was written for is not assured. However, we coders did our best to make sure that our implementation would not depend on comments in GCode or slicer-specific details, so it should work given files generated by Slic3r and others as well as Skeinforge. -

ImatiSTL
Fix STL files for 3D printing
ImatiSTL is a C++ library for applications that need to finely post-process raw polygon meshes represented by STL files. It is particularly useful in 3D printing scenarios: the repairing functions provided by ImatiSTL bridge the gap between printable meshes and real-world meshes with diverse potential defects and flaws (e.g. degenerate triangles, self-intersections, surface holes, ...). ImatiSTL provides both functions for local mesh repairing and methods for global remeshing. Local repairing is useful when the available data must remain exactly as it is in the input STL file, whereas global remeshing may fix even highly corrupted meshes at the cost of a small distortion in the resulting fixed mesh. -

After a couple of years that I follow 3D printer growth, I picked up all the best solutions, as magnetic joints and prismatic linear guides, and gather together in this project. A complete 3D Delta Printer that can be built with about 200 euro (with electronics and graphical display, hotend and motors excluded). Printable area: 200mm dia and 200mm height Q*Bot is based on commercial Aluminum "L" profile, 25x25x4, which work as structure and linear guides as well. It's steady, fast and easy to build. Here you can find related files, including Bill of Materials, CAD drawings and all 3D printing objects needed. It's intended to be an open project: who wishes to collaborate with ideas and improvements, is welcome! Discussion and other details here: http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?362,479919 -
