📡 Overnight Summary

The 3D printing news cycle has slowed overnight, with most feeds serving tutorial and how-to YouTube content rather than breaking news. Here's what you need to know.

🔧 Software & Firmware

No major firmware releases overnight. The community continues to explore OrcaSlicer 2.3.2 beta features covered yesterday.

🖨️ Hardware Updates

Quiet on the hardware front. Yesterday's major stories remain the focus:

Colorado HB26-1144, which would criminalize 3D-printed firearms without federal licenses, faces legal challenges from Second Amendment advocates. This is now the fourth state proposing similar restrictions.
