In this video, I share 13 insane new 3D printing apps, tools, slicers, and websites. Huge thanks to Snapmaker for sponsoring this video and supporting open-source 3D printing. Grab the SnapMaker U1 here: http://jle.vi/snapmakerU1 לישראלים: https://jle.vi/u1-israel ותשתמשו בקוד קופון TNL40 What if you could generate a custom Gridfinity bin from a single photo of your tools? Or print photorealistic textures, full-color gradients, and even actual photos onto your 3D prints? We’re diving into some of the most insane new 3D printing tools, slicers, and websites that have quietly appeared over the last few months, including AI-powered Gridfinity generators, next-gen multicolor printing workflows, filament management tools, texture generators, and slicers that run entirely from your phone. Whether you’re into Gridfinity organization, multicolor 3D printing, OrcaSlicer forks, HueForge-style color blending, filament databases, or just finding cool new maker tools before everyone else does, there’s something in here for you.

The thing that I hate about modern software is the need to create an account just to access the download. If you then don't use the applications you have to jump through hoops to get the account removed. It should be a simple case to download the application, and then if you want to sign up to a plan, create the account at that stage.
Just dropping a line to say that I really respect your dig at Bambu
Heyyyyy! Thanks for watching this video. Did you like it? Let me know👇🏼 P.S. I love you.
Tool trace’s TOS are kinda concerning. Cant swing that type of privacy concerns.
I used my Snapmaker U1 last night to mix 95A TPU and PLA in a print using Beam Interlocking. It came out absolutely perfect - color me (and my print) beyond impressed. I skipped the AMS scene because of the waste of time and filament. I'm loving the U1 (like a kid in a candy store... all over again). I've had one minor issue with the machine and Snapmaker support was fantastic... even when I prefaced the support ticket noting that I was running the paxx firmware, but that the issue preceded moving to paxx. Something with Full Spectrum is next (or PETG support interfaces).
Thanks so much for the shout-out! I've been working on some UI/UX improvements. Should have a nice update out soon, and I'm still actively working on improving a number of things on the site! Also I definitely need to make it more clear, but there is actually a paid plan that I've been moving to instead of the donation model. The site will be free forever, but the paid plan lets you save your models!
you need to add a compare button for your filibrary
I'm focusing on Orca ATM. I also wish folks like Preflight would use their effort in supporting their features in Orca. I am excite to see what Prusa has planned for it's 3.0.
Stop accepting subscription apps!
Tried 3D filaments. Unfortunately their bar scanning are not reliable at this time. Hopefully that will improve. I'm using sunlu/bambu filaments and they cant find it. Even though they have it on the database.
Nothing but sponsored ads.
What would you buy if the X2D and U1 are at the same price?
Fk Bambu! Never again! U1 FTW!
Thanks for the shoutout Jonathan! Really appreciate and respect all the shoutouts you give to other creators and members of the community.
I, too, love this community. So many wonderful people willing to share their ideas and services for free. Good vibes 👍
Coming home and seeing a new video pop up. :D Just what I needed as I just got my snapmaker U1.
Amazing video as always. I've been doing a ton of work lately on generating 3d prints with AI. I'd love to collaborate or inspire a video. Let me know how I can help!
I really like FiLibrary! Some suggestions: - Add advanced filtering (example: Filaments that have the "Durable" tag but don't have the "Hygroscopic" tag and don't have the "Print Enclosed" tag). - Add temperature information for each filament type (typical printing/bed/drying temperatures).
I would love to see orca support UV shells, material ID or polypaint (vertext paint from zbrush) supported for easy color application in multicolor printing. This would speed things up so much. Use your pull please :D
For FilLibrary, how about a handy compatibility chart? What filaments work best for supports for other filaments? How well do they play together in a print? This is incredibly relevant now with multi-material printing hitting the baseline/
