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.

Commodore 64 Ultimate Returns: A Retro Legend, Not a 3D-Printed One

Commodore.net has officially relaunched its legendary home computer as the Commodore 64 Ultimate, rebuilding the classic machine on modern FPGA hardware. We cover it here as a curiosity: it has no direct 3D printing angle, since the case is produced with classic injection molding using the original 1986 tooling, not 3D printing.
