Houston – November 03, 2026 -- The Creality K3, a four-nozzle 3D printer, is now on sale in the United States starting at $849, and shipments of the first pre-orders began on November 2.

The K3 is the latest flagship in Creality's K Series. It is an IFA Innovation Awards 2026 Honoree and went up for pre-order in October.

Four nozzles cut color-change time to about 5 seconds

Conventional multi-color printing means more time spent switching filaments and more material thrown away. The K3's KliTek four-nozzle system keeps different filaments ready in independent channels. The printer switches between nozzles in approximately 5 seconds and needs less of the repeated purging that single-nozzle systems require.

HOUSTON – November 02, 2026 -- Winter campers can now get a portable 5kW diesel heater from BougeRV with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $289.99, sold through BougeRV.com and Amazon. The company says it warms a 3–4 person tent from 32°F to 68°F in about 8 minutes.

Diesel fuel produces the heat. Electricity runs only the ignition, airflow and controls. Combustion and heated-air pathways are separate, so exhaust vents outside while clean, dry warm air flows into the shelter. The unit has a rugged metal exterior, and its control panel is rated IPX4 for changing weather.

Four safety protections are built in

The heater includes automatic overheat shutoff, short-circuit protection, reverse-connection protection and over-voltage protection.

The clinic treats three chronic skin conditions with targeted UV light

Narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy uses carefully controlled wavelengths of ultraviolet light to target inflammatory processes in the skin. Unlike systemic medications, which can affect multiple systems in the body, it delivers treatment directly to affected skin. Array describes it as a non-invasive alternative or complement to traditional medical therapies.
