&e3D #printing is amazing, but it takes forever. I recently got a #new #printer from 2016/2017 and it's taking a really long time to #print a basic #model . The only good side is that it actually works and it was very #cheap . If it #dies after a few months of use, I can #justify getting some better to replace it. If the #novelty wears off after some time, there is no point.

&eThe #printer #refill kind of works. The #hp printer has figured out I did *something* with the #cartridge and is claiming that the #genuine #cartridge is not genuine, based on some #firmware on the #cartridge itself. I suspect that it uses this to purposely run through #ink more quickly in a " #failsafe " mode in order to incentivize consumers to buy new HP cartridges rather than refill their own. Bare in mind, I purchased the printer for $20 or $30 and each cartridge costs that on its own.
I remember when I first #purchased this #printer some years back speaking to the people in the shop, seeing the cost of the #ink #cartridges and literally saying: "So it would be cheaper to buy two printers, take the ink out of one and throw away the printer?" - and the people at the shop looked at me, looked at the prices and said: "yeah".

&eNo idea why, but my original attempt to bring the #printer alive failed - but this time I seem to have succeeded? The #head #alignment is insanely out, but the print quality is actually acceptable. I was under the impression I was previously locked out by #cartridge #drm - so I'm glad it now finally works. I will need to purchase some printer #paper now!
