  1. I really really want #OpenPrinter to come into existence soon! and at a price I can justify.

    I could do with a not too chonky printer right now for handy printing of this and that, and I don't want to buy a different one when that one might become available soon.

    There was an update in June saying "We are working tirelessly on the finishing touches before we launch our Crowd Supply campaign at some point in the next few months." So it really _could_ be soon-ish.

    That said, I appreciate the team's wisdom in _not_ naming a date yet, because I know that the "few" in "few months" can stretch when it's a matter of ironing out technical nuances.

    Wishing them luck!

  6. One of the tech developments I am most excited about: The Open Hardware Printer is soon launching the fundraiser campaign to produce a printer that is not enshittified, but open, repairable and upgradable. Here's a video of the prototype they're working on: youtu.be/XB7iAFXCJQM?si=6c3EsR

    Printers are like the worst case of enshittified tech where the company and the user has opposite interests.

  11. Open Printer | Crowd Supply

    > Finally, an open hardware printer you can actually understand, repair, and upgrade

    Sehr nice. Ist vielleicht nicht für jeden etwas, aber wenn sich erstmal eine Plattform und ein Framework mit Firmware etabliert hat, gräbt es hoffentlich den Wucherern das Wasser ab.

    Zudem vielleicht auch schön für Schulprojekte und Ausbildung. Warum nicht für den kleinen Privatgebrauch und Bannerdruck für Demos.

Michael, Andy and Michael get things started with a new robot that can fly and swim, and transition between the air and water on it’s own.  This amazing feat was inspired by diving birds such as […]

  20. 🎉 Oh joy, a printer that's as open as a hipster's favorite coffee shop! We're sure your printing woes will disappear as soon as you find that 'repairable' means 'good luck fixing this mess'. 🤣 But hey, at least it promises to adapt while you pull your hair out over refillable ink! 🖨️💰

  25. Not a whole lotta meat in this "Progress Update", but they seem to still be movin forward on it. I really hope this whole #OpenPrinter idea don't tank before some of us get one to play with. It'd be even better if these dudes manage to inspire others to make similar stuff.

  29. Hmm, I really hope that the Open Printer project over at Crowd Supply will leave the "Coming soon" state someday...

    It's been announced 7 months ago and as far as I can tell there's been no more lifesigns?
