Comment on Bambu Lab announces the Vortek H2C, an automatic nozzle-changing version of the H2D

• DaddleDew@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I’m personally keeping an eye on Prusa. They’re working on a new multi-filament system for their new Core One printer and it might be worth the wait.

  It is pricier because it is made in Europe but at least the company has a solid reputation for more ethical business practices than whatever enshitification hell Bambu is heading down the road towards.

    Check out Bondtech Indx and regret buying anything else

      This is what Prusa is planning to use on the Prusa Core One.

      The picture released by Prusa shows 7 Indx head on a Prusa core one and has been relayed by Bontech. https://preview.redd.it/what-mmu4-is-probably-going-to-look-like-v0-a9k1435yyelf1.jpeg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=acdc5101cd9ea18d7474e89ebbf6f69e188e870c

    Be aware that old Joe Prusa even says that open source printing is dead at this point.

    So I would expect to see even Prusa locking their new ideas away behind patents.

    Not to be that guy but prusa’s latest is not fully open source either

    If you’re talking about the MMU3 it’s the same solution they’ve had for their other printers. The only “new” part is the mounting hardware for the Core One. I have one and it’s awesome, but it’s not new.

      They might ditch that - they published photos of a Bondtech INDX and the Core One. It might be,that they ditch the MMU3 all together.

      They announced that they were working on a new system that would depart from the MMU3 for the core one.

        Do you have a source for this? All I could find is information about the MMU3.

  Anybody who uses regular open-source firmware and doesn’t try to circumvent copyleft, and especially ones who actively give back to the community. Prusa, Creality, Elegoo, etc. Also, DIY/non-commercial projects like Voron.

    I’ve been a big Elegoo fan for a while now. Love my Centauri Carbon! But even Elegoo is starting to go the enshitefication route, with the new printers no longer being open source.

      I see why you’d conflate this with enshitetification but it’s not that. The printers are actually getting better, but the competition from Chineses brands who steal open source IP including patented innovations, and fraudulently apply for their own patents with the same content and tie up the company in lawsuits to defend their IP.

      It has become such a problem that remaining open source is a losing proposition. Joseph Prusa just put out a blog post explaining this and preparing the community for the upcoming changes to the industry.

    What has Creality given the community? A desk full of printer designs that never met promise? I’ve got three.

      They haven’t really given anything, but they haven’t tried to take anything away, either. They fall under the clause in my previous comment before the “especially” part.
