  Having worked several 3D printers over the years, man do I wish that were actually true!

    I literally have a dissembled 3D printer in my desk right now that got the hotend entirely covered in some unknown carbonized substance… Probably from the filament.

    Yet, that’s actually an easy fix and will cost a little bit because I’m choosing to replace that stuff.

    At the same time, I have a paper printer around that I dissembled 3 weeks ago that is just waiting to be thrown away, because some parts made to break broke, and they cost as much as a new printer.

      That’s what’s the other printers’ for, innit?

      And yet I have at least three 3D printers sitting on my desk that are broken in various states that I have been unable to repair and unable to get working again including a brand new one that I literally just got a couple months ago I only started it up last week I’ve only done four prints on it five prints on it I think and it’s currently stating that it’s clogged even though I have cleaned every single piece of that damn thing and just replace the hot end this afternoon. But yet my inkjet printer which I haven’t touched has a absolutely zero issues.

    If you don’t mind the shit business, Bambu printers pretty much “just work”

    At least compared to any Ender

      Bambu is working hard to make the bottom panel a reality for 3d printers as well. Their closed-door approach is the main reason I won’t touch them.

      My last printer was an Ender. Lots of mods and fiddling to get it running close to consistently! I had heard that Bambu is better but I haven’t had a chance to try it myself!

      My Ender 3 V3 (CoreXZ) has been perfect but I recommended the V3 SE to two people based on my experience but they’ve have had nothing but issues 🫠

  Bambu is on the way to doing that.

  They’ve increasingly been locking down their devices, while adding features that identify Bambu spools using RFID. Their end goal is 100% to restrict use to their filement only. And I’m sure they’ll track the use on a given spool so you can’t keep refilling it with filament from other brands.

    their end goal is 100% to restrict use to their filament only.

    I’ll be shocked if that ends up happening. The RFID tags are a convenience, but their software includes profiles for major filament manufacturers.

    Don’t get me wrong, the closed-off stuff is frustrating. But they’d have to be complete idiots to limit to their own materials. It has killed other 3D printing companies and they’d be no different. They’re assholes, but they’re far from stupid.

    They do track the use of given so spool, by the way, but not by individual tag. Instead, when you load up a spool into the AMS they feed it all the way through to the nozzle and then retract it. During this they track how often the tag passes the RFID reader, which tells it how full the spool is since the circumference gets smaller as the spool empties.

    But if you put the tag on a refill from another brand, like I do, it goes back to detecting a full spool. I’ve found that Polyterra works just fine with the Bambu Matte settings, so I order Polymaker’s refill spools. Using the tag means it loads up the color cards data for me, which is convenient.

      They already are complete idiots. Saying this as a Bambu owner

      My guess is at some point they will start shaking down filament manufacturers for licence fees to be included, then a few years later lock it down to only licenced filaments.

  Obligatory mention that the yellow ink in particular is for printing the [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots](printer tracking dots).

  That’s a brother printer, a 3720 or 3780 maybe? Pretty sure they still print monochrome if they’re out of yellow ink.

  Should have been an hp, that would be more realistic.

  source

  • wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It’s a 3780 (MFC-L3780CDW), I have one. My first laser printer, finally (vetoed for 3x just to have yet another inkjet fail…). My understanding is that all colors are consumed even if it’s b/w, since the paper needs to pass all the toner regardless of color, so I’m pretty sure you’d encounter the same issue, just ‘everything is empty’ instead of ‘one thing is empty’.

    We bought it last year and have used like 2% toner, so at this rate I’ll die before I need to get replacement cartridges (I’ve printed nothing, family has printed everything so far).

    I like it, my only wish is that it had a turn on/off schedule. It’s not great at photos but I knew that going in; we haven’t printed photos in like 20 years, so the trade-off was fine.

  Well, I’ve just learned that HP does 3D printers, too, so it can’t be that far ahead.

    Yeah I bought the cheapest bw laser printer I could find like 10 years ago. 1 toner cartridge replacement that whole time. And it was like 20 bucks. I have a spare, thats how accessible toner is.

      Back in 2004 my dad brought home an ancient HP LaserJet 4L. Simply replacing one internal piece inside with a K’Nex (like Lego) the toner lasted all throughout my high school years.

      i bought the cheapest brother bw laser printer about a year ago - proceeded to print a solid 20 different TTRPGs in a week, replaced the toner, and now i’ve been on the second toner for a little under a year. amazing experience, you only run out if you want to print a library, for documents that thing’s going to last forever
