Considering that the printheads for the Pro-10 and the Maxify MB5150 are also used in newer printers. they will be available still for a number of years. Probably my printers will outlive me. :rolleyes:

I've been refilling for twenty years or so. Mostly Canon but also Epson in the very beginning. Nowadays I own a Canon Pro-10s and a Maxify MB5150, both refilled with third party ink or OEM ink from bigger cartridges. I reckon that when there're no more available printheads for these two...

I made no rigorous tests, but my own experience tells me that photos printed two or three years ago with third party pigment ink (Octoinkjet) and my Pro10 show no evident signs of fading, even if they're hanged on a wall unprotected and exposed to air/light, This is not the case at all with...

@The Hat, it seems that your fading test with GI.-56 inks (and the crappy Lidl paper..;)) made you change your mind about using OEM on the Maxify. I don’t share you opinion in this matter. My reasons : First, I’ve been using cheap black pigment ink on my Canon Pixmas for many years without...

It took around 20 hours printing each of the two parts. The text was only a few mm. thick but having to print the base of the models with a 0.25mm nozzle and 0.1mm layer height is what made it so long. Anyway, printing the parts was nothing compared to the huge amount of time I spent on...

Apart from 0.4mm. nozzles I have 0.25 and 0.6 sizes but the 0.6 are still new and unused, while the 0.25 was employed only for a single project that required small detailed text. Then I reverted to 0.4. It's my sweet spot for 3D printing.

What about the Flexible filament that you purchased time ago .. I gather that you haven't found practical uses for it ?

If you want my opinion, given the case try ASA instead of ABS. Similar mechanical and thermal properties but better resistance to UV and fumes aren't so smelly. I've been printing it lately and I hadn't the slightest problem with warping, even on relatively large parts. The only real difficulty...

Yes, I realized that it was a joke ( but all the same you were exagerating, :p ). We're exposed to every kind of not-so-healthy fumes and particles from many products used in household washing, cleaning, gardening and so on. Not to speak of people who are compulsive smokers. If your printers...

Don't exagerate. Or do you think that everybody printing PETG, FLEX, PP and other filaments needs a defribillator ?. I'd be on intensive care by now, because I've been printing ASA for a few weeks. Fumes from those filament aren't much more harmful than PLA. If the printer stays inside an...

Good to hear that your printer is back to work :) Not so good news about the total cost of the repair..:oops:

A bit annoying if you need to use the heat gun every day to flatten the sign .. Have I mentioned before that there're other filaments much more resilient to heat and UV than PLA.? ;)

Look,The Hat, just for a "few" bucks more.. https://caribou3d.com/en/voron-v24/883-18986-ldo-voron-24-printer-kit.html#/86-extrusioncolor-black/251-voronframesize-350mm/252-raspberry_option-yes

Good to know that 'infections' aren't a common issue. Many years ago I had an issue with ink from US vendor Miss.Supplies. One of the inks, cyan I believe, not long after the bottle was opened. became sort of gelatinous. It was almost impossible to fill the syringe because of the extra...

What about fungicides?. I suppose they're used on most inks, specially dye based, to prevent growing of algae/fungi. Of course if you mix the clear base with OEM cyan/magenta/black inks, the final light ink will contain a certain amount of fungicides, albeit much less than a regular ink.

AFAIK nothing has been posted in this forum for disassembling the Pro-1000 in order to remove the printhead. I think that few, if any, of the regulars here owns a Pro-1000. This is isn't a run of the mill Pixma multifunction or even the more affordable Pro models like the Pro-9500/10/100. I...

Yes, what’s to loose...but this is the last desperate move which in 95% of occasions serves of nothing. I opened several Canon printheads, removing the screws and unbending 90º the ceramic plate with the nozzles assembly. When you do that, there’re high chances of breaking some of the tiny...

Canon has updated the printhead of several printers during the last years. For instance, the QY6-0055, original printhead for the Pro-9000, was replaced by the QY6-0076 when the Pro-9000 MkII was released. The new printhead was compatible with the 'old' Pro.9000 MKI but, apparenty, the old...

Canon Maxify range of printers use solely pigment ink. I don't know about Epson and others but all Canon cartridges starting with 'PGI' contain pigment ink, 'pure pigment' as you say. Is this ink, combined with printable HTV, suitable for making t-shirts ?. Sorry, I have no idea..

This printer is fairly new so I guess that few, if any, of them has reached the 'full waste inkpads' condition. Probably you're one of the first users trying the software tool because there's no need to do so until the waste inkpads counter needs resetting, and the printer warns you before that...
