Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great?
EmilieEvans@lemmy.ml 5 weeks agoTell 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.

So your suggestion would have been the Creality K2 or K1C?
Croquette@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
K1C is open sourced as far as I can tell. But I am not sure what you are asking here?
Someone has created a custom firmware for the X1C, but that’s pretty much it.
K2 isn’t open sourced, but it can still be rooted and you can use Fluidd or mainsail.
So Creality sucks for not open sourcing the k2 firmware, but it’s not the same level of shittiness as Bambu Lab

Does Creality uses V6-compatible nozzles?
If one of the stepper drivers blows up (it happens and since it blows/damages the PCB it can’t be repaired) can I swap in a generic motherboard without replacing other components like the screen?
