The OpenPrinter project (see the CrowdSupply project’s page) aims to create an open source repairable printer. It has some interesting features.
I was starting to believe the project was dead but they gave some news on their progress today : https://www.crowdsupply.com/open-tools/open-printer/updates/progress-update-and-details-about-our-nomination-for-a-french-design-award.
I post it here since the project is lead by french people and would be an alternative to many printer manufacturer.
Doesn’t it depend on how much the ink actually costs though? If you can buy it by the gallon for pennies it doesn’t really matter that much.
I wonder how much cheaper ink could be made.
The problem is the damage the ink does to the printer. Doesn’t matter how cheap the ink is when the printer longer works because you put ink in it*
