Does anyone here have experience with servicing 3D printers? I'm just curious how that role compares to servicing MFP's. Seems like that would be a cleaner job since your not dealing with toner or fuser rollers, but I'm sure they have their own set of challenges.

Maintaining your 3D printer means you’ll be dealing with ink and fuser issues, clogged nozzles, poor material leveling, and material-specific print failures. If you’re using a resin printer, you’ll also be adding sticky, dangerous liquids to the list. It requires a deep understanding of additive manufacturing, materials science, and precision calibration, not just paper and image handling. -

I’ve had some light experience servicing FDM 3D printers (mostly Prusas and Creality units) and used to handle MFPs regularly. I’d say 3D printers can be "cleaner" in some ways — you're not dealing with toner spills or fuser burns — but they do come with a different set of frustrations. stickman hook
You’ve got filament jams, nozzle clogs, inconsistent bed leveling, and, if you're using resin, yeah... that stuff is nasty — toxic, messy, and requires proper PPE. It’s less about paper paths and more about precision calibration and material science.Comment
