Wow. Funded on 2016. Last update about testing on 2020. Nothing since (in 2025).

What the hell happened? And what did crowd supply do about it? Did they make any reimbursement to the backers? Or, at least, issue an apology?

Ok, so this author just thinks they’re more important then the rest of the community? Asshole.

I think you want this

If the parts are easily obtainable off the shelf, then the project is still open source.

Bigger issue is that this is licensed NC, so distributive enterprise collaboration is not possible

Open Printer will use the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 4.0

Lol wut?!?

So they’re literally violating the terms of their own license by selling this on crowd supply!

Thanks. worth mentioning that 100% of the projects listed on crowd supply over the past decades that fund have shipped to backers

Whereas there’s lots of scams on kickstsrter and indigogo, CS is a very trustworthy platform

Cool project

Open Printer

Terrible name.

Its a foundation MVP. If it’s licensed openly, anyone can take this and add more complex moving part components, like paper trays.

Edit: nope. License is NC. So this project is dead before it even started. Such a fucking waste.

This is the only page I’ve ever printed with a FOSS printer.

And, god, I’m printing it on toilet paper.

Why inkjet tho?
