A few things I'm finding in my research: Many of the new printer's carts are chipped, but some aftermarket carts come with chips Some of the carts are a NIGHTMARE to refill... like taking the whole cart apart. Few are as easy as before (open cap, dump old toner, refill new toner, cap back in...

Ah, gotcha. Ya, if the carts aren't super hard to refill, and I'm willing to refill black, then also refilling the other ones shouldn't be that much more of a hassle. Example: I don't remember refilling multi-color ink carts much more difficult than just refilling single-color back in the day.

Interesting! So, is refilling the mono less-messy than color?

I'm looking to consolidate all my (and my GF's) various inkjet and laser printers into one big workhorse! So, I'm beginning my search for a good-quality multi-function color laser printer (flatbed/feeder scanner, copier, printer) that has toner cartridges that are the easiest to refill. ...

Very interesting. Some of those "dust" particles look pretty big. I have a bit of skepticism, but I'm hoping it would be really easy to duplicate his test / results by anyone with a 3D printer and UV light. *IF* it's easy to find those particles throughout the house as he shows, then that does...

I remember distinctly 5 years ago that a good buddy (that is very creative and had a 3D printer for years) said: "Once I got my 3D cutter / engraver, I barely ever use my 3D printer." I still have a hard time believing that, but maybe for some types of creators it could be as useful and even more?

Oh! I definitely would love to see it when it has lighting! That's a great idea!

That's crazy amazing!!!!! Excellent work! Did you create the STL or grab it from somewhere? Your final result SUPER reminds me of when I used to do really basic "glass blowing" (which was me using pliers to squeeze glass I melted with propane torch) ;)

So awesome to see 3D printing getting cheaper and easier to use! I'm LOVING my Ender 3 V3 SE. Super easy to setup, calibrate, and print... and you can get it for as low as $180! Just incredible!

Wow, great job!! That's a super professional design! Did you create it or download it? Too bad you don't live closer, I have a stack of 100 of those I need to get rid of (and that's after purging about 200 others) LOL!

I like to use horizontal expansion / hole expansion settings in the models if they are a little tight. That way the overall dimensions of the model aren't changed.

Interesting! I watch a LOT of videos where people put these (and other) printers through a lot of stress-tests, and I haven't seen this as one of the things / issues reported. ... but I'd definitely be curious to see more info / details about this as things progress!

A great example of why I love 3D printing! My tenant in my attached ADU rental said the timer knob in the bathroom broke. Only took me about half hour (and $0.20 plastic) to find the model and print it.

LOL! My GF was combing the cat this morning. I told her about your saying, and she replied, "... but I do it so she has fewer hairballs!" I think she missed the intent of the saying. ;)

Ok, this is just crazy! Nothing really super useful about this, but still entertaining and interesting!

I'm glad I was able to visit it just in time! ☻ Well, I guess they are taking it down :( https://www.voxelmatters.com/mx3d-bridge-removed-after-two-year-permit-expires/

That's pretty cool!

Good luck! It's a great design, but make sure to check it regularly.... it can get quite nasty if they get left in the water for a long time.:sick

After watching some of the videos, here's my take (for me): Smaller than I expected I guess it's "easy cheap entry level multi-color printing"... but since mulit-color never really resonates with me, I'm kinda "meh" about it. (especially since the color-swaps can add so much time to a print)...

It's crazy to see how many videos came out today from popular 3D printing youtubers that clearly already had one of the units (and must have signed NDA's not to say a word until today). It's funny because one youtuber that is pretty popular is also kinda anti-bambu, and he's been putting out...
