![Add RFID to Any Filament for the Anycubic ACE Pro
Want to make your Anycubic ACE Pro recognize any filament spool for just 64 cents? In this video, I’ll show you how to use cheap RFID stickers and a free Android app to create your own custom filament tags—no fancy hardware required. With the help of an awesome open-source project from DnG-Craft, you can easily tag your entire filament collection with accurate material and color data that syncs straight to your ACE Pro and slicer software. Whether you use PLA, PETG, or anything in between, this trick works across all ACE Pro-compatible printers. Watch now to level up your multi-color 3D printing workflow!

![Crystal Clear 3D Prints? Experimenting with NOVA3D High Transparency Resin
How transparent can you get resin prints? Many clear resins turn yellow over time, so when Nova3D released their High Transparency resin which claims great clarity with no yellowed, I knew I had to give it a shot. So this is my initial experiments with that resin, and my attempts to polish, clear coat, and add mineral oil to get it as clear as possible.
Thank you NOVA3D for providing the resin to experiment with.
