@Creality3D has teased their latest in the Spark lineup, the Spark i8, which looks suspiciously like the old school mixing hotend called the Diamond Hotend (not to be confused with Diamondback Nozzles). They also showed off their new K3 at @IFABerlinHub with their KliTech technology installed. @Prusa3D unveiled the latest in slicers, PS3.0, which, while still in alpha, is a massive jump from previous slicers in their lineup.
