It’s pretty objectively not good quality, but I do kind of adore this little guy 🖨️
plzupgrademeplzupgrademe@fedi.txw.caOct 11, 2026, 6:55 PM@billgoats it is a gorgeous machine and I love the oversized Apple logo. I wish 3D printers looked like that aesthetic.
Also I guess it looks like it interpreted it by adjusting the heat of the element, I wonder if you set an option in the print driver maybe to dither instead, that it might look clearer.

@plzupgrademe It uses the same æsthetic as the Apple //c, if you want another device with the oversized logo :) As for driver, there isn’t actually one for the Mac. It just happens to work with the ImageWriter driver. And that is not the prettiest driver and has basically no flexibility :/

@billgoats ah in light of that detail, that’s incredible to get the output you did :)
