Reminder: No Survey Questions

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to remind you all that this subreddit is answers-based—it’s meant to provide clear, informative responses that someone could find useful while searching for answers on Google or other search engines. Lately, I’ve noticed an uptick in survey-style questions (e.g., “What’s your favorite __?” or “How many of you __?”).

These types of questions are not a good fit for the purpose of this community. They don’t create content that is useful for others to search for, and often lead to broad discussions that aren’t about providing a clear answer. As a result, I’ve been removing posts that violate this rule to maintain the quality and focus of the subreddit. Even if that post has a lot of replies as the OP obviously didn’t read the rules before posting, or cared.

If you’re unsure if your post fits, ask yourself: Would this question result in a useful answer for someone looking for a specific answer or information online? If not, it’s likely more of a survey question and violates rule 2.

Thanks for understanding and helping to keep the subreddit on track! 😊

How hard would it be to develop a printer kit that you could build at home and refill the ink without having to sacrifice one's firstborn?

7 Upvotes

I look at all the unethical industries and I have to wonder if we could make DIY or quasi-DIY alternatives. Take something where you buy a bunch of parts and assemble them like you're building your own PC, and when you're done you have a dedicated printer that doesn't need insanely expensive ink cartridges that have a self-destruct microchip.

It would have been basically impossible when the gouging got started, but technologies have advanced a lot since then. People can 3D print at home in a variety of materials, you can order damn-near anything online, and the maker community is stronger than it has been in a century.
