mlg@lemmy.worldHaven’t touched 3D printing in a long time but about the only thing I remember related to the printer itself was doing a liquid cooling mod for the head which gave a more consistent structure output.
Otherwise everything revovled around slicing techniques & settings and snapoff structure points in the correct spots.

Printers have become appliances instead of a hobby.
Nowadays you have: Push button -> get thing.
Instead of a 30 minute process of leveling the print bed, 4 different pieces of software to get the gcode correct, a specific time, temperature, and humidity level filament needed to be kept at, a custom enclosure to prevent the draft from walking across the room causing layer shifts, and a prayer to the ether that there wasn’t some type of fault on the SD card that would corrupt the gcode and gouge your brand new tempered glass bed.
