Pricing
One of the first and most affordable home 3D printers has just closed its funding round on Kickstarter, raising $1,438,765 – eclipsing its $100,000 target.
Billed as “the easiest to use 3D printer in the world” the Buccaneer fromPirate3D will be shipped to its backers at the end of the year for the swashbuckling price of just $347.
Already assembled and calibrated the set-up time is far quicker than most 3D printers. The objects that you can choose to print are stored in a cloud-based library of objects – its aptly named Treasure Island – which when downloaded into the user interface can be reshaped and remodelled with little or no 3D design experience using Smart Objects.
Pirate3D are clear that their printer is unlikely to remain the cheapest on the market for long, and that copies of it are inevitable. For this reason their placing a big emphasis on their Smart Object software. They will allow other printer manufacturers to use the Smart Object platform, and users will be encouraged to come together in the community and create and share items they’ve designed.

You deploy a highly autonomous, self-hosted AI agent, give it access to your repositories and inboxes, and watch it reason through complex workflows while you sleep. It is the dream of the ultimate 10x developer tool realized. But as any veteran DevOps engineer will tell you: running an LLM-backed
7 min read There are cloud outages, and then there are us-east-1 outages. That distinction matters because failures in AWS’s Northern Virginia region rarely feel like ordinary regional incidents. They tend instead to expose something larger and more uncomfortable: too much of the modern internet still behaves as though one place is an acceptable concentration point for infrastructure,
7 min read Artificial intelligence is making software easier to produce. That much is already obvious. Code that once took hours to scaffold can now be drafted in minutes. Boilerplate, integration logic, tests, refactors and small internal tools can be generated with startling speed. In some cases, even substantial pieces of implementation can be assembled quickly enough to
10 min read Whilst AI has compressed the visible stages of software delivery; requirements, validation, review and release discipline have not disappeared. They have been pushed into automation, runtime and governance. The real risk is not that the lifecycle is dead, but that organisations start acting as if accountability died with it.
