Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great?
Ulrich@feddit.org 2 weeks agoFalse dichotomy. There are plenty of printers that are pro-sumer and also have great documentation and are easy to use and maintain.

Name one that is competitive to the BambuLab P1S combo.
Keep in mind that the operator is an average Joe, who knows nothing about 3D-printers, with minimal training on the job to do the maintenance.
Competitive (explicitly) includes cost: If I need to pay $2k for a printer that works just as well as an $800 option it is not feasible (for a business) to spend this much more.

I could but I’m going to assume that you already know and will simply disagree.
EmilieEvans@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Tell me.
Looked last week into it and concluded that BamubLab is still the best option.
Runner up was Creality but they are equally proprietary these days.

How is Creality equally proprietary? I can put mainsail or fluidd on the machine and use any slicer I so choose.
