Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great?
John@discuss.tchncs.de 4 weeks agoAnycubic for example does similar things. The Kobra 3 & Kobra S1 support Network printing only through there “Anycubic Slicer Next”(via Cloud) which is a Orca Slicer Fork only available for MacOS and Windows(Windows seems to be the only up-to-date Version, Mac is broken as far as i know).
Firmware is, as far as i know the so called KobraOS, a Klipper-go fork without a Webfrontend or any way to connect to it through Orca, Cura, Prusa or else.

Haven’t heard much about that yet, indeed also sounds bad. But it’s anycubic so who cares :p.
But yeah, it’s indeed not the best trend. But it also up to open source to actually compete with this, and not just chase shiny features, but also usability…
