Exactly this. It’s almost anti open source/user mod friendly to have a fixed calibration at factory time.
Also the level of qc needed to make a one time calibration at factory be accurate for the lifetime of the printer would require an order of magnitude more expensive machine and a service contract to maintain it.
- sokoloff 4y agoIf you’re looking for a printer to mod, why start with an expensive and well-sorted Prusa as a starting point? I own 6 printers, 0 Prusas, because I like modding them and don’t see any reason to pay Prusa to give me a better starting point that I’ll just then undo.
- carterschonwald 4y agoOpen source == ease of changing it. At least with software, and I don’t see any reason why we shouldn’t have the same expectations for open hardware like 3D printers.
- sokoloff 4y ago3D printers are already one of the easiest things to modify. I wouldn’t be surprised if over 1/5 of what is printed is parts/mods for printers. Prusa printers are no different in this regard.
- carterschonwald 4y ago3D printers being modifiable does not make it easy, at least by open source software standards.
- dymk 4y agoA Prusa works great stock. But there's always something you can upgrade. I used my stock mk3s for years, but recently decided to upgrade the hotend for a quick-changing one.
