If you want to tinker with the printer, get a Bambu or Creality. They are cheap, and sometimes really good - but it's often hit or miss on whether your exact unit is fine or a lemon.
If you want something that just works, spend more to buy a Prusa. On a budget? Get a Mini+. Bigger budget? Get a Mk4. Or get a Mk3 used.
Yes! Sorry for giving wrong details. That was from memory, and I am a goldfish...
The printer has a web interface where you set up destinations, and I set up a file path there. Separately, on the printer itself, you can set it up to do one action automatically when it detects material in the auto sheet feeder, and I used that so it auto-scans to PDF/A and saves it on that network share.
Then I have Paperless check that path once a minute. So my workflow is literally, drop the paper in the scanner, and 5 seconds later put it in a box, then a minute later I see it in Paperless. It's bliss.
Ugh, Nextcloud. It is always touted but it is such a pain to set up properly, and then it is slow as molasses.
I've tried, and I've tried the similar suite from Synology, but in the end always come back to the Google system - much as I hate to admit it, Google "just works".
I've set my Outlook up to put sent mails in the same folder as the mail I replied to - that takes care of most of my cases. Only remaining bit is new mails I send (not replies), and I use task flags to follow up on those.
And I think the new Outlook is ditching tasks? So there's another broken workflow... :(
I got a Prusa Mini+ just a few months ago - first 3d printer in the family. Choice was heavily based on "it just works" and not ever wanting to tinker. It's a printer for printing stuff - not meant to be a hobby all by itself.
Yes it's the more expensive option, but it's rock-solid. No hassle, no tinkering, no nothing.
Forgive me for not using Linux, but I am not having any luck finding a download for Windows? I've seen the GitHub pages and they seem to send me in a semi-recursive wild-goose chase that I can't make sense of.
Can some gentle soul point me to a Windows version? Maybe a direct download link to the ZIP or EXE? I am not very familiar with this, so any help is appreciated!
Good points, but hang on, I have an issue with the clustering. Let's say I want to join something about "dice games".
First challenge is to find out, what such communities could even be named. My search-fu is weak so I might only find one such community, but there are others, bigger ones. How could I find them?
Next, let's say I find five communities on four instances. Wow, yay! Intuitively I would definitely want to join the biggest but I will also join the others so as not to miss anything. If everyone does this, it will never crystallise into one primary source.
That may be fine for reading, but what about posting? I don't want to bother posting on all the damn sites.
In total, I really understand what Fediverse is aiming for here, but Reddit looked so much simpler. Like Linux (no coincidence I'm sure), Fediverse is a great idea with great features, but it's juuust shy of being mainstream enough for the average Joe. So ultimately, the best community for my dice games... is Reddit?

That cleaning tank sounds like an Achilles' heel. Is there really no solution to that?
