If you’d like an enclosed 3D printer, the Adventurer 5M from Flashforge is a pretty excellent option, and not only that, but it’s a pretty fast printer as well. It also has a pretty great build area of 8.7 x 8.7 x 8.7 inches, so it’s pretty good for beginners and intermediate-level hobbyists, which makes it a pretty versatile buy. We also appreciate the touchscreen that the Adventurer 5M has, which makes it a lot easier to navigate and consume information about the print, which can be a bit frustrating on cheaper printers.

The Anycubic Photon M3 Max is a one of the most powerful 3D printers you can get. It has an impressive 11.7 x 6.5 x 11.8 inch printing area and does so in 8K. SLA printing, which uses lights and lasers, is dependent upon light to print. The Anycubic Photon M3 Max uses an array of LED lights to get the light not only just right but also evenly distributed. The effect? Fast printing. And, the Anycubic Photon M3 Max won’t let that fast printing get the best of you. How so? By automatically feeding more resin into your well when it gets low, kinda like those automatic plant waterers. The result is a hassle-free print that doesn’t have to be babysat to the utmost degree.

Anycubic Kobra 2 Max
Anycubic

If you ever heard of the original Anycubic Kobra, it was one of the fastest and most beginner-friendly 3D printers when it originally came out. The Kobra 3 continues that trend but with a much larger build surface of 9.8 x 9.8 x 10.2 inches , which is well-suited for folks with larger prints. More impressively, it can print up to 600mm/s, which will certainly be needed with such a larger print volume, and you’ll be happy to know that it handles most types of printer filament. Just be aware that you need to have Amazon Prime to take advantage of this deal.

Creality K1C 3D Printer
Creality

Creality’s latest K1C 3D is a nice upgrade if you already have a great starter 3D printer and want to take it to the next level. For starters, it’s completely enclosed to avoid issues with temperature, and has a pretty solid build volume of 220 X 220 X 250mm. It’s also pretty fast, able to hit a max print speed of a whopping 600mm/s, which is very impressive, although you likely won’t run most prints at this speed. We also like the added touch of the internal smart camera that lets you keep track of your print and can warn you of potential malfunctions with its internal AI.

South Korea wants to give every citizen free, unlimited access to its own AI chatbot
The government-backed service could turn generative AI into public infrastructure instead of another monthly subscription
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

South Korea wants to give every citizen free access to an AI chatbot with no usage limits. That puts the technology closer to a public utility than another premium service demanding a monthly subscription.

The Ministry of Science and ICT announced the AI for Everyone project on July 13. Private companies will build the platform around locally developed models, while a separate AI agent will help people navigate government services. It’s a more practical job than generating emails or settling arguments nobody wanted to research themselves.

In a joint cybersecurity advisory, the NSA, CISA, FBI, and international partners warn that hackers linked to Center 16 of Russia’s Federal Security Service are continuing to target vulnerable networking equipment. Energy, healthcare, and government networks are among the sectors facing the highest risk.
