Great question and discussion!!
Honestly, I don't refill inkjets anymore... and actually don't even have an active inkjet printer :(
(I still have two "new" refurbed Canon i560's in my garage and a box of refill equipment I just can't talk myself into parting with).
My only 2d printer is my...
Hey @The Hat , be careful out there... These guys are nasty, and the second sighting was in the southern city of Cork!

She is one of the best no-nonsense / to-the-point / consistent-process reviewers out there.
... oh, and on her "top printers" list, she has the Qidi PLUS 4 listed as "The best-performing fully enclosed high-speed 3D printer (mid-size)"
I really have so many issues around spending money and buying stuff! 😔
I think there have been maybe a dozen times that I have put this printer in my shopping cart and almost pushed "buy".
... only to question myself: "Do I really need this printer? Is it really that much better than what I...
100% agree! After 3 bowden-based printers, and years of not wanting to go to direct-drive, I finally went direct with my Ender 3 V3 SE and QUICKLY became a convert of how much easier it was to load, manage, and unload. I would never go back to bowden. In fact, seeing a lot of the new printers...
ya, I'm thinking this will be like when I spent years in tinkercad and then finally moved to onshape, and wished I moved sooner.
I'm definitely way more familiar with CURA, and I love how easy it is to just send a print from my pc... but from what I understand, I can do the same using the...
If I end up getting a new printer that doesn't support connectivity via USB directly, I'll definitely be spending a lot more time with Orca since it seems like the go-to option for most people.
Great points and ideas!
https://auroratechchannel.com/ (which I really respect) gives the Qidi PLUS 4 really high marks, and it's been one I've also had my eye on.
I'm really curious what's going to happen with Prusa over the years. They have a great reputation and have had good products, but I feel like the industry is changing faster than they are able (or willing?) to keep up with.
There are just too many other options these days that have better...
Guys, I keep going back and forth on buying the $299 Elegoo Centauri Carbon. The value is just incredible and the reviews are pretty solid.
I've been pretty happy with my Ender-3 V3 SE, but I do like the idea of a faster enclosed printer that can get both the nozzle and chamber up to higher...
I know just enough about 3D modeling, specifically Tinkercad and Onshape, to get myself in trouble.
I needed to design a unique water faucet for our Japanese soaking tub... basically something that would hook up to the garden hose and lie flat underneath the cover.
The main body parts were...
I often think i wouldn't really use multi-color that much. Maybe once in a while, but IMO, not enough to justify a full AMS type system.
... but ya, for those that do make a lot of printer poop, a extruder would be cool.
Wow, Stefan is really grasping for new content ideas for his videos! ;) LOL!
... but I still found it a very interesting experiment. Independent of the type of filler, lots of interesting discoveries around particle size, mixing, etc.
