I stumbled across this link in the comment of another post, and thought it was super promising!
Someone mentioned something about in the US, this would be illegal due to DRM laws - not sure about the specifics of this, but regardless an open source printer seems like something we’ve needed for ages, as printers are something that always seem like way more of a headache then they need to be. It seems like such a simple technology that has existed for quite some time, but they are always such a pain to deal with. (Maybe it’s just my bad luck with printers?)

I’m curious how they source the ink.
I recently watched a video about a 3D printer with color that is effectively obsolete because it used what was once common hp cartridges that hp discontinued.
Illegal due to US govt wanting discrete traceable patterns printed so they can track money duplication on colour printer or track Ransom letters?
So what? Thats exactly why I WANT a custom built printer, fucking spying shits.
Good thing I live outside of the US then ;)
This looks awesome…hope they make it, I’d buy one if it isn’t toooo expensive.
This isn’t new. I remember seeing a promotion for this exact same printer many years ago already. I’d approach it with suspicion.
It’s going to break doesn’t matter that it is open source. It’s a printer at heart.
Printers can work. At work we have these big canon plotters for big posters. They are basically super size inkjet printers. They have been printing for years and they never need maintenance.
