Comment on 3D printing for beginners
ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 hours agoI find it strange that people pit so much effort in to mental gymnastics to try and justify to themselves why it’s OK that their potentially almost €3000 machine (Core One+ L INDX) doesn’t work 100% out of the box without upgrades down the line to fix design issues. It’s not OK to sell products that don’t work properly right away (regardless of the company), especially so in that price range. Don’t sell it until it actually works 100%, it’s a really simple concept.

It sounds like you’re new to consumer products. I have issues with my clothes washer, my dishwasher, my car, and many more expensive and supposedly durable goods that are supposed to Just Work but don’t. And the manufacturer never comes back with an upgrade kit.
Ubiquiti is a great example of a company that supposedly sells prosumer gear with the possibility of firmware updates but actually delivers half-baked garbage and leaves people in the lurch, ignoring longstanding bugs and missing features for years. But their fanboys abound and they continue to sell lots of equipment. It boggles the mind.
I remain thrilled that Prusa is committed to continuous improvement.
