Good job, but I’m left wanting to know how to build a printer.

As far as I can remember, framework has this still on their schedule. So sooner or later you maybe can at least have a well maintainable one.

There is an open source one https://www.opentools.studio

  • How is that open source? There’s not a single line of code. No CAD. Nothing. Sure, there’s a “coming soon” CrowdSupply link, which I guess is more than a KickStarter. But open source?

    • Fair enough but I trust CrowdSupply to keep them in check. I bought quite a few projects via CS and never been disappointed. They have too much trust from the community not to follow up, it's their most important differentiator versus KickStarter and other crowdfunding platforms.

    • Ah sorry, I thought they were already open source. They say they will open source it once they finalize the design, but yeah, not there yet.
