Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, apparatuses, devices software, and methods for material manipulation and detection. For example, detection of a level of material in a container such using a material level detection system. For example, temperature conditioning of the material, e.g., during its conveyance. For example, facilitating continuous flow of the material in a junction of a material conveyance system. Any of the material level detection system, temperature conditioning system, and junction, may be part of, or operatively coupled to, other system(s), e.g., the material conveyance system and/or a 3D printing system.
