[Prusa] have a number of announcements, and one of the more unusual ones is that liquid printing is coming to the Prusa XL. Specifically, printing in real, heat-resistant silicone (not a silicone-like plastic) is made possible thanks to special filament and a special toolhead. It’s the result of a partnership with Filament2, and the same process could even be used to print with other liquids, including chocolate.
The process is as unusual as it is clever. The silicone is a two-part formula, but there is no reservoir or pump involved. Instead, there are two filaments, A and B. When mixed, they cure into solid silicone.
What is unusual is that these filaments have a liquid core. Upon entering the extruder, the outer sheath is cut away, and the inner liquid feeds into a mini mixing nozzle. The nozzle deposits the mixed silicone onto the print, where it cures. It isn’t clear from the demo where the stripped outer casing goes, but we assume it must get discarded or is possibly stowed temporarily until it can be removed.
Liquid-core filament is something we certainly didn’t have on our bingo card, but we can see how it makes sense. A filament format means the material can be handled, fed, and deposited precisely, benefiting from all of the usual things a filament-based printer is good at doing.
What’s also interesting is that the liquid toolhead can co-exist with other toolheads on the XL; in fact, they make a point of being able to extrude silicone as well as the usual thermoplastics into the same print. That’s certainly a trick no one else has been able to pull off.
There are a few other announcements as well, including a larger version of their Core One printer and an open-source smart spool standard called OpenPrintTag, a reusable and reprogrammable NFC insert for filament spools that gives you all of the convenience of automating color and material reading without the subtle (or overt) vendor lock-in that comes with it.
Watch a demo of the new silicone extruder in the video, embedded just under the page break. The new toolhead will be 1,009 USD when it launches in early 2026.

Neat idea, metering the two-part silicone by treating it like a filament. It remains to be seen whether this is better/easier/cleaner than a syringe/plunger based system, or even just a pair of small pumps drawing from a couple of bottles.
With that mixing nozzle, it’s a lot like those super-fast-set epoxies dispensed from a dual syringe with the replaceable mixing nozzle. That piece is certainly a per-session consumable. And you’re not going to be able to loiter around not pushing goo for a while: it’s going to set up in the nozzle.
It looks like the waste snakeskin is removed through that third fat tube. I wonder how often it gets clogged up with residual A & B components setting inside it. Betcha it’s a consumable too.
Now it makes me wonder how small you can make a progressive-cavity pump.

The woman from Surrey matched five numbers alongside one Lucky Star
A woman has scooped a EuroMillions prize exceeding £118,000 after experiencing an extraordinary premonition about her impending fortune.
The married woman from Surrey secured her windfall by correctly selecting five main numbers alongside a Lucky Star in the popular European lottery game.

A single British ticketholder said she put her faith in the universe

She said she "put her faith in the universe" when deciding to play the game.
The woman added she aims to live in a more relaxed manner, adding that "winning the lottery has made me feel free."
Her decision to play online proved fortuitous, as she joined millions of participants who regularly try their luck through the National Lottery's digital channels.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: "What a life-altering moment this is for our winner.
"We know how much it means for EuroMillions prize winners to be able to clear their debts and enjoy financial freedom.
"We sincerely hope that they relish this moment and the relief it brings, huge congratulations."

Draw bosses have revealed that more than £12million in National Lottery prizes is still sitting unclaimed.
One mystery winner has just weeks left before their chance to cash in disappears.
Boyle Lotto said there are three unclaimed jackpots in the UK, including two £1million wins and an eye-watering £10.6million sum.
Each player now faces a race against time to come forward before the deadlines expire.
A Boyle Lotto spokesman told the Daily Star: "It’s incredible to think there could be brand-new millionaires out there completely unaware of their luck.
"We’d urge everyone to check old tickets – whetherthey’re tucked in coat pockets, glove boxes, or drawers, before these life-changing prizes disappear."
The first outstanding prize, worth £1million, was won in the Lotto draw on May 24 after one ticket bought in Birmingham matched five numbers plus the bonus ball.
The largest unclaimed loot stands at £10,633,323, from the Lotto draw on October 4, 2025, with person who bought the ticket in the London Borough of Bexley having until April 2, 2026, to make their claim.
Another £1million prize remains unclaimed from the EuroMillions draw on August 15 through the Millionaire Maker code.
The winner also comes from Birmingham and must come forward by February 11, 2026.
A UK ticket-holder scooped £25.7million EuroMillions jackpot earlier this month, marking the fourth UK winner this year.
Earlier wins this year include £65million on Valentine’s Day, and a huge £83million jackpot in January.
