10 years of printing on a custom-homemade machine.

Yeah, I've been 'just printing' now for about 5 years straight.
I don't even look at the printer prior to sending it a print wirelessly. I just hit print, and it works.

Always sticks to bed, no failures.

It's about knowing the mechanic's and failure points and knowing how to maintain it properly.
