#building a #concrete #printer could be cool: https://hackaday.com/2022/10/25/build-yo.. I think the #killerapplication is #furniture and #bespoke #concrete parts that could be #built #offsite .

This is pretty cool, an #infinite 3d #printer for under $200: https://hackaday.com/2022/10/23/errf-22-..

3D #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.

Very cool #vtol #design from #tomstanton https://youtube.com/watch?v=XPXN0QejqM0 Definitely inspiring me to look at #printing my own #aircraft once I get my 3D #printer ...

Pretty cool #custom #label #printer https://hackaday.com/2022/06/15/diy-auto.. I really have a fascination with #opensource #printers of all kinds.

The #positron 3D #printer is pretty amazing, I would certainly want one of these! https://hackaday.com/2022/05/20/portable.. One of the currently issues with these printers is their size relative to their build volume, something this definitely solves!

Just saw this #article about writing a #printer #driver in #javascript https://kubesail.com/blog/2022-02-01-pri.. I always wanted to play with a #thermal #printer but never had an excuse - but I just thought of one. I could really improve the #business #process of a family member by printing #qr #codes to help them #track #products and #parcels !

Interesting use of a #can #bus for 3D #printer #sensor / #actuator #communication https://hackaday.com/2021/11/03/simplify.. Still, it's quite over the top. There really isn't *that* much noise on the communication lines!

One day I too will have a 3D #printer ! And then I'll actually be able to #print stuff! https://jmtd.net/log/3d_print_list/ It's been unbelievably annoying to wait so long for the #buildone to *not* #deliver anything.

Just a very cool #inkjet #printer concept that applies #ink in 3D: https://hackaday.com/2021/08/05/this-is-.. Insanely cool project.

The #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".

No 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!

Okay, this is cool: https://retrohacker.substack.com/p/bye-c.. You can apparently #print on port 9100 just by #piping files via #netcat - *without* the need for #cups ! I am trying to get this working now. I only stopped printing because I couldn't get the #refill to work and didn't want to spend more money on a $20 printer...

I like how many #original #hacks there are recently, this time with a 3D #printer that #prints #upsidedown https://hackaday.com/2021/08/03/stranges.. I assume that such a design could even end up #cheaper too with some thinking.

The #buildone 3D #printer is a continued source of disappointment these days. As well as a lack of communication, it appears that the company #roboticindustries a #llc in #washougal #washington - is now #administrativelydissolved https://www.washingtoncompanysearch.com/.. #digistump is still active on the other hand and was even updated recently: https://www.washingtoncompanysearch.com/.. Guess that's it...
