    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…

    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…
