Hi there!
I’m looking into getting myself a good printer and I am wondering if I need to install some platform-specific drivers for them to run. I am running Debian 12 (GNU/Linux) and I am afraid that I must run some proprietary blob to connect to the printer.
Could someone share their experience please? Even if you don’t use Linux, your feedback would be very appreciated!
(Also, while you are at it, please share some recommendations for printers, I don’t really know where to go (>v<) Have about ±500€ )
Most 3D printers work fine on Debian without special drivers — just make sure you’re in the dialout group. For slicing, Prusa Slicer Free Download works great on Linux and supports many printers. The Ender 3 S1 is a solid option in your price range!
