Bambu Lab Adds a Public Security Update Log After a Year of Bug-Bounty Work

Bambu says its bug-bounty work has involved more than 100 researchers, paid awards up to $52,000, and now adds a public Security Update log. Those are process and certification claims, not proof that every printer, firmware version, cloud feature, or local-network mode is vulnerability-free.

PrusaSlicer 3.0 Preview Is Not a Production Build

Prusa’s first public 3.0 preview rebuilds the slicer around projects and tabs, adds local backups, true multi-bed work, layered profiles, offline operation and an experimental Lua plugin path. Prusa calls it an unfinished alpha, not a production build, and warns that opening a 3.x project in 2.x discards the newer settings.
