The HeyGears G1X Series has passed $15 million on Kickstarter. The Chinese platform aims to combine full-color 3D printing, textured UV work and conventional UV printing in a desktop system.

What happened?

The HeyGears G1X Series has passed $15 million on Kickstarter. The Chinese platform aims to combine full-color 3D printing, textured UV work and conventional UV printing in a desktop system.

Key details

  • The campaign moved beyond $15 million in early September.
  • G1X uses an industrial i3200 printhead and UV-cured material deposition for color output.
  • HeyGears positions the platform for 2D UV, 3D texture and full-color 3D workflows.
  • As with any crowdfunded hardware, manufacturing and delivery risks still need to be considered.

Why it matters

If the hardware delivers on its promises, full-color 3D printing could become more accessible to smaller studios and workshops. The campaign also shows strong demand for desktop manufacturing technologies beyond conventional FDM and resin systems.

Anycubic Kobra 3 toolhead – successful firmware backup and the first steps toward a CAN-based Klipper toolboard

Anycubic Kobra 3 Toolhead Project – Another Milestone: Successful Firmware Backup and Preparing for a CAN-Based Toolboard Today marked another major milestone in the Anycubic Kobra 3 Toolhead project. Our objective is not to modify or preserve the original firmware. Instead, we are developing a completely custom firmware that will transform the factory controller board into a Klipper-compatible CAN Tool MCU with only minimal hardware modifications.
