- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Ooo u do some 3D printing stuff?
My first machine was a Sells Mendel back in 2010. Literally didn't have a machine; but had a friend with one he couldn't get to work. The deal was: I get it to work, and I could print my machine's parts with it. I got it to work, and now I also get everyone else's printers working too :)
Nice! Glad to see u enjoying ur hobby/job!
What is your price? How do they compare with nowadays printers?
I don't sell printers. Just fix them. Price depends on machine make/model and what I commonly find wrong with them; but I usually charge a $100 flat fee + parts. I've done remote chats and helped people fix their own printers too.
Most fixes come down to the owners inability to see the forest for the trees type of situation -- They'll hyper-fixate on "leveling" when their extrusion system is having problems. Ender 3's are my bread and butter, because they are really cheap, and that cheapness comes with a cost: the need for knowledge. The v3's are especially good, and the older ones are fine if you know how to tighten a bolt here-or-there.
Bambu Labs machines are the best for an end-user, hands down - but as an enthusiast I refuse to own one. Pragmatically speaking though, most users aren't going to care much.
