A big upheaval happened at Autodesk in February when CEO Carl Bass announced his resignation, as did board members Scott Ferguson and Jeff Clarke. This week, Autodesk users need to brace themselves for more changes, this time of the hardware variety. The company has announced that they will be discontinuing the manufacture of their Ember 3D printer, which was first introduced in 2014 and released a little under a year later. 

However, the fact that Autodesk is no longer manufacturing the Ember doesn’t mean the end for the open-source 3D printer. The firmware’s source files are still available online, as are the resin formulas for the SLA machine. If you’re feeling particularly ambitious, you could, in theory, build your own new Ember if you should so desire, as Autodesk also released the mechanical design files in 2015, noting that the prototype was almost entirely 3D printed. The Ember, therefore, will live on in the open source ether, with the potential to be continually transformed into something new and better. The whole purpose of introducing the Ember in 2014, Autodesk says, was to experiment with open, collaborative development.
