   3D print Z reinforcement via injected loops▲66

   Commodity FDM print strength is limited by poor Z-axis layer bonding. Parts crack along Z under stress. MAGMA tries to fix this in software that works on any FDM 3D printer. It's a fork of OrcaSlicer with a new infill type that creates paired U-shaped vertical channels inside the print, plus G-code that injects molten plastic into those channels to bridge Z layer interfaces with continuous plastic. Big caveat: I have a junky Ender 3 and haven't gotten a clean physical print yet. Don't expect this to work out of the box! After months of tinkering, I'm releasing the software so the 3DP…

    BamBuddy – a self-hosted print archive for Bambu Lab 3D printers▲9

    Bambu makes great hardware, but your data lives in their cloud and there's no way to export it. When a print finishes, the job is basically gone from any useful record-keeping perspective. BamBuddy fixes that by running on your own machine and tapping into the printer's local MQTT interface — so it captures everything as it happens: thumbnails, filament usage, timing, slicer settings. You end up with a fully searchable archive of your print history that's entirely yours, works offline, and never touches Bambu's servers. The catch: their local API is undocumented, so a lot of the early work…
