If my 3D printer has a problem, it’s not working properly.
When my 2D printer throws a fit, it’s because it’s doing its job of being a vicious piece of shit perfectly.
Important difference.
3D printer: failed the print because you tried to print a whole ass gun in 30 minutes. 2D printer: failed the print because you tried to print a picture of a duck and the DRM detected it as a copyrighted image.
bamboo labs i’m fucking watching you if you add DRM to your printers i’m shooting up your warehouse
The thing is, we definitely could have 100% reliable printers with good reparabilty, but capitalism gotta capitalism
It’s funny because 3d printers are cheaper to purchase, maintain, and supply for
Actually, the problem isn’t that we haven’t nailed 2D printers. The problem is we have. Which is why they have to do artificial bullshit like the LOW CYAN thing to make money selling you ink that you do not actually need.
My 3D printer works better than my 2D printer
I wonder how right-to-repair will change the printer market.
Probably why they are fighting it so hard
Colour laser printers have been around for long enough that they’re a decent value. If you buy cheap HP inkjet slop, don’t blame capitalism when they try to wring you for more money
I have one of these at work. It throws a fit roughly 5 times a day.
One occasional issue is that it claims it has a blockage, it doesn’t, it wants you to open and close one of the doors.
Then do what it wants smh
I serve the printer overlord
The irony is that making an Open Source 3D Printer is far more accessible and affordable than making an Open Source 2D printer.
we should have stopped making new printers after the HP LaserJet 4, it’s all been downhill since then
cyan low sweet chariot
I once had to boil ink cartridges
Did it work?
It did!
“Let’s add one more D, that’ll fix all the reliability issues!”
Resin printers are the laser printers (in a few cases, literally) of the 3D world.
Filament are the inkjets, super likely for something to go horribly wrong because of a tiny miscalculation.
Yeah except the ink is super toxic and will make your room smell awful and give you cancer for touching the final product for resin printers which generally isn’t true of your book report
Printer toner isn’t exactly healthy or good smelling either
But it gets fused to the paper really nice making it water resistant even. Your room does end up smelling like ozone though.
Theres nothing inherently wrong with traditional 3D printers though? You can get high reliability from multiple printers on the market.

2d printers are hellspawns. Period.
