"companies of 3d printers"??? posters of AI slop?
Ding ding ding ding ding ding
EDIT: dm:
im not a repost bot you weirdo. thank you
reposting from where?
imgflip? Not until it has been on some -chan, Xitter and Reddit though.
Why would you even use a repost bot on Lemmy? It doesn't even track points?
Thanks, banned from our instance
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. Locking to proprietary filaments has killed other 3D printing companies and they’d be no different. They’re assholes, but they’re far from stupid.
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.
They do track the use of given spool, but not by individual tag. The tag just had the filament profile on it. 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.
Well, I've just learned that HP does 3D printers, too, so it can't be that far ahead.
my Brother laser printer I bought from goodwill fifteen years ago
I have one that's nearly old enough to buy alcohol, and the only reason I replaced it (with a $10 goodwill bins one) is because the nic died. Still prints fine via USB.
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.
because some parts made to break broke
That's what's the other printers' for, innit?
Not really.
Almost nothing in a paper printer is just a plastic part with 0.1mm accuracy.
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.
Printing is VERY fickle. Most mixtures of PLA or PETG only have a good print temp range of ~20C, and that's a generous window that is very different based on brand of plastic, age of the spool, and current humidity for some even common plastics, like PLA.
I've clogged nozzles with nothing but a hiccup on temperature over the course of long prints (thanks to a dying thermistor, but easy fix), let alone prints where all sorts of variables build up over time until the print pops off the plate half way through.
It will be decades yet before 3D printing is as trivial as a modern laser printer, or even ink jets that don't randomly decide it's time you owe HP a new $50 for ink carts...
Looks like you found the company doing that to 3D printers.
Yeah I'm pretty sure that's any printers. You hear this on any sort of I have three different models of printers three different companies and all of them have had issues of various sorts.
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.
Yeah bambu needs to die in terms of marketshare. They tried to intimidate foss devs into pulling down their reverse engineered software to replace bambus garbage. Nobody should ever recommend bambu again.
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!
Don't. Bambu doesn't respect the licensing of the software they use, and they do not care about open source what so ever. They are not a positive contribution to the 3D printing space.
I still run my Ender3, upgrading to a Prusa core one+.
The first question everyone needs to ask about 3d printing is if you want the printer itself to be the project.
One of these days I'll get around to calibrating the sprite hotend on my 3v2.
My Ender 3 V3 (CoreXZ) has been perfect but I recommended the V3 SE to two people based on my experience but they've had nothing but issues 🫠
You censored "stupid"?!!!
I think the original say the r-word
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.
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.
Just 3D print a functioning 2D printer
And use that 2D printer to print a functional 1D printer!
Right that down, RIGHT THAT DOWN
Best idea I've heard this year ,ty
Why are we shitting on laser printers? I thought the inkjets were the cursed ones.
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.
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
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.
What’s the word that’s censored?
I posted the original(almost), the word is stupid!!!
Me, redesigning and printing the part for the third time because I measured something wrong again: shit
Don't forget to adjust for thermal contraction. Print a 1cm cube and measure it after it cools (with calipers)
That’s half the fun!
