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 3 — $300 $390 23% off

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.

The Mars 4 Max is a 9K resolution 3D printer that uses resin to make figurines and other objects. Its print volume is 6.04 x 3.06 x 6.89 inches, making it adequate for small tabletop armies, roleplaying characters, your D&D avatar, and jewelry. It utilizes the VoxelDance Tango slicing software, which allows for different printing modes depending on your aim, speed or accuracy of the print. It’s a minor point, but the machine is boxy, compact, and covered by a striking red cover.

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.

This sneaky photo trick gets AI chatbots to ignore their safety rules
Florida International University researchers built a method that nearly doubled the rate of harmful responses from a tested AI model using nothing but pixel-level edits in an image.

A photo that looks completely ordinary to you could carry a hidden instruction to trick an AI chatbot into ignoring its safety rules, according to new research out of Florida International University. The study found that pixel-level alterations in an image that are invisible to the human eye can be enough to confuse the model reading the image and lead it to generate responses it would normally block.
