RUKA: Rethinking the Design of Humanoid Hands with Learning (ruka-hand.github.io)
This work presents RUKA, a tendon-driven humanoid hand that is compact, affordable, and capable. Made from 3D-printed parts and off-the-shelf components, RUKA has 5 fingers with 15 underactuated degrees of freedom enabling diverse human-like grasps. Its tendon-driven actuation allows powerful grasping in a compact, human-sized form factor. To address control challenges, we learn joint-to-actuator and fingertip-to-actuator models from motion-capture data collected by the MANUS glove, leveraging the hand's morphological accuracy.

Design for 3D-Printing (rahix.de)
Over the past years, I have gotten deeper and deeper into 3d-printing. One thing that fascinates me a lot is how different it is from other manufacturing methods. And how this, in turn, means a completely different design philosophy is needed to create good designs for 3d-printing.

Bambu Lab added anti-debugger code in their BBL network plugin (github.com/bambulab)
Since 1.10.2 the BBL network plugin ships with debugger detecting code that will terminate the application when a debugger is attached. This makes it impossible to run the slicer from Visual Studio or any dev tools with debugger attached, which means there is no way to do any meaningful development as long as you own a BambuLab printer.

A 3D mouse with 3D printed flexures and PCB coils (hackaday.com)
3D mice with six degrees of freedom (6DOF) motion are highly valued by professional CAD users. However, the entry-level versions typically cost upwards of $150 and are produced by a single manufacturer. [Colton Baldridge] has created the OS3M Mouse — an open source alternative using PCB coils and 3D printed flexures.
