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.

Looked at the comments and immediately saw others pointing out that it's inkjet and...yep. That might be a deal-breaker?

Laser is just such a better deal and I've had my old Brother printer forever, and while that's not repairable, I wonder if I'd just end up spending more money over time on something like the OpenPrinter.

Very cool project though, regardless!
