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.



Yup. one thing is clogging (I’ve experienced it many times in the past). It might be cheaper to repair with this one, but still annoying. Then there is print quality affected by moist during and after printing. And lastly, the ink price. Which again, it might be reasonable with this one, but who knows. The first two reasons are enough for me to avoid it. But again, it’s great effort and I hope it succeeds.
