    New Color Laser Printer - CRAZY LUCKY DEAL Brother HL-3170

    Worth a shot. I hate to admit it but I'm about to go down the laser printer route as my Maxify printer head is playing up, and the amount of printing I do now means that it can lay dormant for a week or more sometimes, which doesn't help keeping the nozzles unblocked. It kind of makes sense...

    Canon Maxify GX5050: Dye Ink or Pigment Ink?

    3-4K prints a day is a lot of printing and beyond hobby use. If you are running this as a business then you need to factor in the cost of good quality ink and price your printing accordingly. Don't use cheap inks unless you want to risk losing a good printer.

    2024 Resolutions

    Everyone has to decide based on what research they do whether to take a Covid vaccine or not. Telling people not to take it is not of much help as it is a based on your beliefs/research. Everyone needs to base their decision by weighing up the risks of Covid given their own heath state and...

    Just avoid the very cheapest as it is generally more bother than its worth.

    What Are You Printing Today?

    Welcome to the mad world of 3D printing. The best advice I can give is set a finite time per day for playing with the printer, otherwise if you have a partner now you might not have them after a few weeks :lol: Its addictive!

    My Next Fast CoreXY Printer : Bambu Labs X1 / P1S Creality K1 Qidi X-MAX 3 ?

    I stand corrected, but what a stupid way to promote a product!

    Thermal fuse in your printer can prevent fire hazard.

    Some of the cheap machines don't even have thermal runaway protection in the firmare, in fact many of the early Creality machines had memory chips so tiny they allegedly remove the protection code to add more features. I'm quite happy with mine, Klipper has many safety features built in and I...

    Thermal fuse in your printer can prevent fire hazard.

    Decent software can detect and shut down over temperature problems when they occur. I have a thermal fuse on my Voron heated bed but that is simply providing double protection along with the Klipper software.

    My Next Fast CoreXY Printer : Bambu Labs X1 / P1S Creality K1 Qidi X-MAX 3 ?

    It would need to be a gamechanger at $9,999.00 :lol: Reagrding Corexy I'm not sure where you got the idea that Corexy can't print dimensionally accurate parts?

    My Next Fast CoreXY Printer : Bambu Labs X1 / P1S Creality K1 Qidi X-MAX 3 ?

    @Smile - Just interested, is there any printer you think might suit your needs or are they all bad?

    I think it very much depends on what you want to create as to what is the best method to do it.

    My Next Fast CoreXY Printer : Bambu Labs X1 / P1S Creality K1 Qidi X-MAX 3 ?

    Research, research, research.... If not then do some more research and buy the best ready built that you can afford. Have you ever seen the quality of parts turned out by those flimsy voron frames :) They look pretty good to me. Don't buy or build CoreXY then - simple... choose something else.

    My Next Fast CoreXY Printer : Bambu Labs X1 / P1S Creality K1 Qidi X-MAX 3 ?

    There is no way I would buy a Voron kit from Ali Express. Apart from not knowing what quality some of the AC mains items are the frames AFAIK are not cut accurately enough. If you want to buid a Voron buy a good quality kit from one of the other suppliers like LDO for example. That K1 is not...

    Reset printing after few pages

    If the problem occurred with two different files then it is not a corrupt file so I am out of ideas at the moment. Maybe some other members will come along and give you more suggestions.

    Reset printing after few pages

    Have you tried clearing the print queue, then printing another file with multiple pages just to prove it's not a corrupt file cauing the problem?

    Welcome Giovanni. I dont have any experience of that printer but some of the other members will have some good suggestions for you. In the meantime you might have a look at all the paths through the machine where the paper travels just in case you have something stuck in there, for instance...

    canon printer ratings, surprised about the low ratings

    Not sure about that review site but many of the customer reviews you see on large sites like Amazon, Trustpilot etc are fake. Companies also offer incentives for good reviews. I was checking out on a website recently and had a pop up saying if I left them a 5* review on trustpilot I could...
