Keep mine offline for that reason and I dont really need a firmware update (as long as they are not software locking replacement parts in the future, but in that case I am happy to trash the printer and never look back, its already payed itself of 100x)

Yes I do this of course, with maintenance I meant deep cleaning stuff, unscrewing panels, tightening belts, replacing gears etc.

I exclusively print functional engineering stuff so single colour and whatever colour is the cheapest lol

To be fair their printers (P1S and H2D) are reliable workhorses, I cant remember if I ever had a failed print and they are basically in 24/7 operation since a year. Never had to do any maintenance.

We had a really long discussion going on in our techno whatsapp groups about that and it is all the more shocking as most of us (including the women) felt that techno is mostly a safe space from this kind of thing. Glad the organizers took action.
