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.
...
I'm glad I was able to visit it just in time!

Well, I guess they are taking it down :(

I've mentioned my interest in the "newer" high-speed CoreXY printers, for example:
Bambu Labs X1 / P1S
Creality K1
Qidi X-MAX 3
etc.
They all seem to have various pros/cons. I like how https://auroratechchannel.com/ has rated some of these printers, and think these factors are pretty important...
I've been reading / seeing videos about the Creality Ender-3 V3 SE
https://www.creality3dofficial.com/products/ender-3-v3-se-3d-printer
The specs look really good, and the price (anywhere from $199 - $220) is incredible.
I think I paid $250 for my Ender-3 V2 and felt like that was a great...
I watch a LOT of youtube videos :)
I went to this event last weekend in SF: https://opensauce.live/
FULL of my fav. youtubers, including some popular 3D printing youtubers. Worked my way up to the front row to see them (and others)
Up close with Mark Rober
Some other famous youtube creators!
I thought this video was cool.
One thing I noticed I hadn't seen before: TWO extruders and TWO hot-ends, feeding into one nozzle!
I've seen lots of ways people get more filament heated and flowing, but this one was definitely new to me!
Well, this happened faster than I expected!
Creality came out with their answer to Bambu Lab's printers!
The Creality K1 & K1 Max

I have the roll of TPU I mentioned purchasing here: https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/tpu-gonna-give-it-a-try-any-suggestions-tips-tricks.15358/
I don't use it much... not a lot of use-cases come my way, or I'm still stuck in the thinking "I don't have / can't print TPU".
Well, my GF...

I'm a HUGE fan of the TeachingTech youtuber, and I really enjoy designing with OnShape.
He's done a BRILLIANT job with his tutorial series that I've been following along with:
Here's the 2nd video in the series where he's creating basic parts. I'm at video 4 and have learned some really...
Yup, I'm impatient, like to print fast, and am usually fine trading off quality for speed.
That being the case, this hack is RIGHT up my alley!
I just need to buy a few 0.8 volcano nozzles and I should be good to go!
(oh, and print a new extended fan duct)
I've been following this guy's AMAZING build, and it finally came together in the video below.
I don't see any cooling... and I'm curious how this works with such HUGE thick lines of hot plastic that probably take forever to solidify.
The 3D space is buzzing right now over this new 3D printer: Bambu Lab X1
It's a kickstarter, so kinda risky... but seems a bit more legit than a lot of stuff on the platform.
I'm a big fan of this channel and have a lot of confidence in her review of the printer.
I'm terribly frugal, but this...
Yup, I bought a roll of OVERTURE TPU: https://amzn.to/3qFdQLA
Crazy, right?!?!
I'm gong into this expecting to have a lot of problems and challenges, but figured I'd see if I could get it to print on my stock Ender 3 V2. There are tons of videos where people have successfully done it, so I'm...
I've posted about this guy a few times, but wanted to make sure I had all the correct searchable words in the title so I could find it easy later :)
Teaching Tech is one of my FAVORITE channels for 3D printing:
