Is an open source version viable outside of research and fun? I expect tolerances on everything in a 300+dpi printer to be crazy low. Even the current 3d printers get the jokes that they're a hobby in maintenance/calibration on their own. Can't imagine how hard would be for an inkjet. (Laser could be easier...)

Honestly auto calibration has gotten pretty good. But the lubrication and cleaning is definitely still somewhat involved.
