Firmware
Prusa firmware 6.10.3 for the XL and XL+
A small follow-up to the big 6.10.1 release. It improves chamber temperature estimation and undoes the bed-lowering change. The release before it fixed a display freeze and a resume bug that affected parked tools.
Firmware
Snapmaker U1 firmware V2.0.0
Rainbow filament display, French, and fixes for top-cover chamber waiting and a file-name shutdown bug. The release notes say to recalibrate afterwards, even though Snapmaker's index page says you don't need to.
Firmware
Creator 5 firmware 1.9.9 can't be rolled back
FlashForge's September firmware adds skip-object, more materials and exFAT USB support, and FlashForge says that once it's installed you can't go back to an earlier version.
Product
Prusa INDX conversion kits and complete printers are shipping
Prusa began shipping the Bondtech INDX toolchanger for the CORE One+ in August and opened orders for complete INDX printers. It also disclosed that the nozzles are surface-hardened, not fully hardened.
Product
The Prusa XL+ replaces the Original XL. Here's what changed
Same frame, same build volume, same toolchanger. New offset sensor, belts, cooling, wiper and nozzles, plus an upgrade kit for existing XLs, with one catch on older toolhead boards.
