How many motors do you think a delta uses for a single axis?

Lol at someone complaining about inaccuracy and calibration of core xy printers while telling us a new delta printer is going to be a game changer. Also complaining about bias of 'influencer' videos while posting (completely unbiased - lol) videos from the machine manufacturer. This guy has...

This guy after testing P1Ps against his Prusas decided it was worth the risk of adding another 9 P1Ps to his print farm. Shop Nation.

I know nothing about this particular printer. My guess would be the head is loose on the rods or rails or whatever carries it. Tension from the belt is causing the head to twist on a vertical axis producing the vertical offset of some dots dependant on how far the nozzle is from the twisting...

The most popular download on Bambu's Makerworld site is an 87 hour print for a fancy riser to lift one of their AMS units a few inches higher while sitting on top of an X1 or P1 printer. What proportion of X1 and P1 owners have an AMS? What proportion of them were interested enough to download...

The ET-7750 doesn't have a lid sensor or at least my ET-7750 has never had one that does anything. It does have a sensor/switch for the ink tank lid. If you are using windows the printer status display (double click the printer icon) will show if a job is still being spooled to the printer...

I have never noticed my 7750 take a 'coffee break', but, I mostly print photos and occasionally up to 5-6 pages of plain paper. When printing those 5-6 pages it will sometimes pause to do a quick bit of nozzle clean or head wipe or something. If it just stops and waits quietly I would suspect...

I don't have a PRO-1000, but, am thinking about it and have looked at refilling options. I have never seen a physical cartridge. I saw the precisioncolors monitoring thing and thought it a bit complicated and expensive. I wondered if you could somehow visibly check ink levels and here I see...

lol at lbs of paper. Pound weights are per ream so it depends on paper size and they can't even exactly decide on how many sheets there are in a ream. Clearly Americans should be specifying paper in ounces per square foot:)

Errm. The OP is saying he wants to print about 2500 3x5" photo quality images a month. That's about 260 sq ft of image. I thought it was a bout 1.5ml of ink per sq ft so 390ml of ink a month and cartridges for those Canon Maxify printers seem to be about 2$/ml or 780$ a month in ink. Did I get...

The head moves far left and you can see it raise and lower before any paper is fed. The driver does have a setting called "Thick Paper and Envelopes" with vague help text saying it may slow down printing. If it can adjust platen gap does it adjust for the different weight photo papers the...

Thanks for the information both. Not especially what I wanted to hear. You think even when color management is disabled the driver loads an ICC profile for the selected paper type to access this proprietary paper information? The only likely looking tag I can see in the ICC profiles is called...

The windows driver for the ET-7750 offers these paper types: Plain Epson Ultra Glossy Epson Premium Glossy Epson Premium Semigloss Photo Paper Glossy Epson Matte Epson Photo Quality Ink Jet Epson Photo Stickers Envelope and installs a not quite matching set of ICC profiles. I don't have...
