    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.

    we have nailed 2D printers. enshittification in the name of profits ruined them. i recommed epson eco-tank printers by the way. no subscription and one 10€ bottle lasts for hundreds of pages.

      Isn’t it the printer that brick itself when the purge-sponge is ultimately soaked with ink ?

        mine has worked for years, and it went through 2 refills without issue. even if it did, cleaning a sponge sounds like easy maintenance.

          That one is a hard limit. Changing does not clear the error. Tho people have hacked around it if I remember correctly.

      • I mean you could. It would be slower more expensive and less practical than inkjet or laser printing, but there is nothing keeping you from fixing a piece of paper in the 3d printer and have it “write” on it with the molten plastic.

    The problem is we deliberately make everything wrong so that it breaks. You can’t buy a good product once capitalism gets into full swing, because everything that justified its existence was a lie and the only thing that matters is money - not the world, not the people, just this fake paper bullshit that isn’t really worth anything and is just a status symbol that allows you to buy more status symbols.

    When most people use the word removedry, this is the sort of thing they’re describing, not gay people. The word was evolving in this direction before everyone decided to pull a “satanic panic” on it.

    edit: lmfao the word is autoremoved, case in point. why we doin so much censorship here? reddit is not a model to follow

        Totally doable, use a multicolor printer and print it like 3 layers thick - you’ll get thin flexible plastic sheets.

        Not actually practical, but totally doable lol

    In my 10 years of being a High School Robotics teacher i find that my group has less problems with the 3d printers than the 2d printers.
