I feel like there needs to be a guide or smth along those lines on Printers as a whole. Which brands to avoid, what brands to shortlist, what things to consider, etc. Maybe we could bundle in 3D printers while we're at it?

:I don't think we really want to get into 'buyer's guide' territory on the wiki. I assume such things exist elsewhere? A theme article covering the home printing industry and the various ways that companies mess with users could absolutely make sense though, but it should be kept focused on describing and explaining the various ways that companies affect users. If there exists a buyer's guide-type-thing somewhere else on the internet which is generally acknowledged to be of high quality, then we could potentially link that in the 'see also' section of such an article.

::Back when I started this discussion, I saw a few new user generated guides pop up which led me to this epiphany. It's totally understandble to not start a "buyer's guide" from scratch if there exists one that's better. Speaking on that I too do not know if such a thing does exist. I had a brief look into 3D printers and came across r/3dprinting which does a megathread each month on purchase advice. If that's deemed fitting we may link it in the "see also" sections of relating pages. Finally regarding the "theme article" I say yes.
