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.



Then why aren’t they up-front about it? Why are they calling their thing “open source” if it isn’t?
If they’d call it “source available” printer, then they are better then closed source alternatives, but if they aren’t honest… I’d rather buy from someone that is clearly telling me what they are selling to me, instead of obfuscating or maybe even lying about it.
