    For Impatient 3D Printing Peeps Like Me - Volcano !!

    Lack the $$$, and especially lack the space. Live in a "tiny house" and my printer is crammed in a corner as it is. 😠 Actually would be a nice size if I wasn't such a pack rat!

    For Impatient 3D Printing Peeps Like Me - Volcano !!

    Excellent points and I feel pretty much the same way, probably many of us do--- except I have huge backlog of predesigned stuff from Thingaverse and other sites I wanna print. And then there is the Christmas light clips I designed that I need to print hundreds of. Or when prototyping that's...

Mods include: Solid copper heat block ($10) 50 Watt heater cartridge ($1) Bi-metallic Titanium/Copper...

    Bringing an old Epson Workforce WF-7610 back to life

    This is a multi-part question... I have an Epson Workforce WF-7610 Large Format Inkjet printer which is somewhere around 7-8 years old (ballpark) with the "Precision Core" heads. It used to work great, but ever since I got a color laser printer the inkjet fell into disuse and has been sitting at...

    Greetings Print Masters

    My username is Doctor Wizard because my actual real name is Wizard (Seriously!) and I have a Ph.D although admittedly a bulls--- one. I'm an electrical engineer (now retired) and tinkerer, so when one of my, or a friend or family member's printer breaks, you can guess who gets the job of fixing...
