Breaks in 2 years, u repairable, you have to buy a new one at 10% discount. Formlabs is a scam. Never buy their products.

I just got the drop of your Youtube video about a minute ago. I just wanted to say to all of you at Formlabs, That was awesome. It is so fun to watch a company do what you are doing and doing it for a price that makes it possible for some people to attain. I use 3D printing to help fix small problems for customers I have because I am known for doing custom builds, Re-finishes, Re-storing the most insane things in the world and I am known for seeing the problem and saying yes I can fix it or taking a customers Idea and saying yes I can do that. I do this by knowing woodworking, welding, machining and my God giving talent of painting. I use CNC plasma, CNC router, CNC Laser, 3D resin and FDM printing along with fusion 360 to make ideas come to life. I believe what you are doing with this printer is Mind Blowing and at that cost, I still am in awe. That being said I wanted to take the time after watching that video to just say "Awesome work you have done here" and wish you and everyone at Formlabs the best.

SLS is underrated for functional prototypes since there's no support removal and the parts hold tolerance well straight off the machine. Same day turnaround on large parts is a big deal when a client needs to test fit before committing to tooling.

Makr3D3 months ago

The Print Intelligence line is the interesting bit. More throughput helps, but production gets better when files are checked before the queue: wall thickness, packing density, material risk, failure likelihood and whether the job can actually ship on time.

Silicone casting has never been so satisfying, or so transparent. By 3D printing molds in Formlabs Clear Resin on the Form 4, engineers can ensure silicone fills every tiny detail without any trapped air bubbles. The cast silicone part is a protective mask for automotive shock tubes, used to shield critical areas during the coating process. By using a 3D printed mold, they can cast and test prototypes in the real world before spending thousands to machine permanent factory tools. Thanks to Echo Engineering for the awesome demo! #engineering #3dprinting #silicone

This guy spent several days teaching a tabletop robot arm to roll a burrito and when one could not do it he did not rewrite the controller he printed 2 more and launched a 3-arm setup for about $1,000. He does not rewrite the software, does not wait for a smarter model, does not update the imitation weights, he just prints another arm and connects it to the existing leader-follower through LeRobot, nonstop. And it got more interesting: the hardware of one arm is a DIY kit SO-101 for about $300 to $400 on STS3215 bus servos, coordination between the arms goes through leader-follower teleoperation in Hugging Face LeRobot, and replication goes through a Bambu Lab A1 for $399 that prints a copy in a day. It knows the position of the tortilla by the leader-arm coordinates at the start, knows the handoff moment between the arms by the fold phase, and knows the final rolling from the sequence of demonstrations from teleop sessions. And it even distributes the work between the arms, one does the initial folds, the second holds the tortilla still, the third performs the final rolling, depending on which phase the burrito is currently in. In one 57-second demonstration 3 arms rolled a burrito for the first time without human involvement, and the total stack cost less than $1,000 in hardware versus a UR5 at $25,000 or an industrial burrito machine Solbern BR-1500 that costs about $50,000. The viewer is not watching 3 robots rolling a burrito. The viewer is watching permission to believe in a future where a kitchen task on $1,000 of hardware is done by the same loop as an industrial one at $50,000. Here is what happens when the bottleneck stops being the intelligence of the controller and the quality of the imitation model, and becomes the number of arms in the setup, and for a maker with a 3D printer the number of arms is limited only by print time. 3 arms do not get tired between sessions, do not require retraining when a new one is added, do not degrade from repetition, and every next burrito goes through the same teleop pipeline at the same quality as the first. Imagine that multi-arm DIY setups are no longer built for one kitchen task, but printed for each one, burritos, sushi, tacos, pizza dough, pour-over coffee. We just watched hobby robotics shift from "retrain the controller" to "print 2 more": when one robot can not handle it, you do not make it smarter, you print 2 more. The viewer thinks they are watching a DIY experiment. They are watching a multi-agent robotics stack that in one 57-second demonstration rolled a burrito for the first time without human hands, and whose filling partially falls out on the final rolling. What will improve the final rolling, a softer silicone gripper, a 4th follower arm in the setup, or a different filling composition and a more moist tortilla?

Chamath Palihapitiya just dropped the number that explains the entire AI infrastructure trade (Save this). A gigawatt of compute now costs $100 billion and when he started his Arizona data center project it was $4 to $5 billion, it has gone up 20x in a single investment cycle. The implication is not just that AI infrastructure is expensive but rather that the capital barrier to owning meaningful compute has become so high that only a handful of entities in the world can actually build it and the companies who got there early are sitting on what may be the most durable pricing power in the history of the technology industry. This is the neocloud trade. The neocloud market, purpose-built GPU cloud providers like CoreWeave, Nebius, and Lambda Labs was worth $35 billion in 2026 and is projected to reach $236 billion by 2031, compounding at 46% annually. For context, that is faster growth than cloud computing itself posted in its first decade. The reason is very simple, hyperscalers like AWS, Azure, and Google are building for everything, storage, databases, enterprise software, networking and their GPU pricing reflects the overhead of that full-stack infrastructure. Neoclouds build for one thing only, AI compute. The result is a 60% to 85% cost advantage on the same Nvidia silicon, bare metal H100s at $0.78 to $2.79 per GPU-hour on a neocloud versus $3.43 to $5.07 per GPU-hour on a hyperscaler. That spread does not close as AI demand scales but rather it widens, because hyperscalers have to amortize legacy infrastructure and margin expectations that neoclouds do not carry. Gartner projects that by 2030, neoclouds will capture 20% of the $267 billion AI cloud market, and Vultr's own analysis says at least 80% of GPU market share by end of 2026 will be held by a small group of scaled neocloud providers. Now zoom into Nebius specifically, because it is the most interesting publicly traded proxy for this trade. Nebius is the infrastructure arm of the former Yandex Russia's equivalent of Google rebuilt from the ground up after Russia's invasion of Ukraine by Arkady Volozh and relisted on Nasdaq in October 2024. The team that built it already knew how to run internet-scale infrastructure at the lowest possible cost, which is exactly the operational DNA a neocloud requires. In Q1 2026, Nebius reported revenue of $399 million and already generating serious cash on a young business with revenue growing nearly eightfold year-over-year. Then in March 2026, Meta signed a five-year infrastructure agreement with Nebius worth up to $27 billion, $12 billion in committed dedicated GPU capacity deployments beginning early 2027, plus up to $15 billion more tied to Meta purchasing Nebius's unsold third-party capacity. The deal will be executed on one of the first large-scale deployments of Nvidia's Vera Rubin platform, the next-generation architecture after Blackwell making Nebius one of a tiny number of operators in the world with confirmed priority access to the most advanced AI hardware available. Following the contract, Nebius guided to $7 to $9 billion in annualized recurring revenue for 2026 representing 540% year-over-year growth. Chamath Palihapitiya point about the $100 billion capital moat is the bear case for new entrants and the bull case for incumbents. No one can afford to build the next CoreWeave or Nebius from scratch at current hardware and power costs. The companies that are already built, already contracted, and already deploying Nvidia's latest silicon have a moat that compounds with every GPU generation cycle because they get allocations first, they deploy fastest, and their customers re-sign rather than wait for a new operator that does not yet exist. Come join Milk Road Pro for our full breakdown, the complete neocloud competitive landscape, how to think about Nebius's valuation versus CoreWeave and AI entire thesis. Link below.
