@Yy89 @dannycantalk @jawwwn_ @PalmerLuckey first of all, those are mostly marketing, not manufacturing companies. And second, their primary asset - branding rights and other IP, is protected with formidable force of the law around the globe

How do you keep trade secrets if you make physical items? It takes huge time and resource investment to develop and optimise a thing, and someone just 3d-scans it in minutes.
Why even bother?
Ofc its not perfect, needs an update probably, but patent system was fundamental to the Industrial rovolution, and it has to be there, or else, every inventor wil just be a sucker

Entire thing with shoes and hi-vis vests, outside the heaviest of industries is just a safety theater.

Pick one: Miniscule risk of some box falling on your feet if you dont pay attention. OR: persistent discomfort and feet illness from these wooden safety shoes.

Oh, you cant pick. The state mandates you get chronic pain. Great

On my diploma wall there is also one regarding HSE (Health/Safety/Environment), zo you look at these images with a different eye.

One of the very successful larger-drone factories in UKR.

Yellow are just some highlights of the reasons why it takes 2 days in UKR ...

@owendotmusic @josefprusa Big words for being ass at manufacturing

[Aidas Lemon @Lomanonis]

Prusa has thousands of orders on INDX they cant fulfill since december, and even back when i wanted prusa XL, it had an official wait time of 8 to 12 weeks. Such is "overcrowding". Imagine the world without the chinese. We would literaly have USSR tier wait lists of years and years for every single consumer item

[Aidas Lemon @Lomanonis]

@owendotmusic @josefprusa INDX is being hyped and toured around the world for about a year now. obviously patent applications are sorted already. How are the chinese stopping them from delivering these kits?

[Aidas Lemon @Lomanonis]

I see you have trouble disconnecting what OUGHT TO BE, from WHAT IS. I am not justifying them, i would really prefer to deal with fellow honest and charitable europeans, but i'm just stating a fact that it got serious, and these NERDS at Prusa, should stop fucking around, step up their game and COMPETE for gods sake.

[Aidas Lemon @Lomanonis]

and yet, you dont hear about Prusa print farms anymore since MK3 got retired. There's is bunch of Ukrainian drone print farm videos on the internet (how is this not serious and security critical?) and all of them use chinese printers.
Prusa is so cost inefficient that they are letting in, what is essentially enemy trojan horses, into their premises. Let that sink in.

[Aidas Lemon @Lomanonis]

There is a lot of chinese junk, no doubt. But some companies are really good, you have to give credit where credit is due. And they, unfortunately or not, can deliver similar quality products at 1/10th of the price sometimes, esp in industrial setting with legacy western brands.
You can maintain a very respectable moral stance against the chinese, but risk being outcompeted by someone who doesnt

[Aidas Lemon @Lomanonis]

What does this "customer support" mean actually? Why would i ever want to talk with someone from this company? its a mass market product with millions of users, dont they have a manual or forums with public information and a public shop with spare parts?
A proper product does not require "customer support". it eliminates it by making faults rare, easy to troubleshoot, and makes spare parts easilly available. All of which bambu delivers.

[Aidas Lemon @Lomanonis]

MMU3 is only half of the deal. How hard it was, to have an integrated drybox? I dont want another diy "project", i want a tool that makes parts out of the box.
So far, to have at least somehow equivalent machine to H2D i need a stock prusa with a bunch of mods (enclosure mod for xl (Prusa's is 600€, and still looks cheap af), high temp nozzle mod, (stock is 270c. in 2026. are you effin serious?)
i need to make and add custom g-code for nozzle wiper, i need to source and fit some drybox solution, and who knows what else, i dont have time for this. Those are not some specific high-tech requirements. i need to do all this to print common PA.
Also, was DRAMATICALY slower build plate heating time mentioned? XL takes 10 to 15 minutes to heat up to 100c. While H2D does it in under a minute.

[Aidas Lemon @Lomanonis]

@Stephen88756 @owendotmusic @josefprusa Worst part - its not just bucks anymore. I wish it was different

[Aidas Lemon @Lomanonis]

@owendotmusic @josefprusa Sorry, i dont want to participate in a cult

[Aidas Lemon @Lomanonis]

Oh yeah? Where do i buy it? Also, - No AMS (big deal), smaller work volume, lower nozzle temp by default (needs an upgrade, which is also not available atm), lower chamber temp, no clumping/spaghetti detection cameras, chamber camera not properly integrated, lower speed, less advanced nozzle wiping, and how about automatic multi nozzle offset calibration? Cant compare to INDX as its not released yet, but on XL its a nightmare as far as i'm aware. Also, subjectively (dont want to glaze it, but Bambu just looks much better and more professional, advanced and polished. A spaceship basically compared to Prusa

This 3d printer drill bit sorter is absolutely genius. very quick to use and i no longer need to keep a set of calipers just to keep my drill bits organised. why only 12 downloads on printables? deserves way more

[Aidas Lemon @Lomanonis]

@seeedstudio Can you explain this please? Are we supposed to wait for the new model [RV1126B]?

[Aidas Lemon @Lomanonis]

@elonmusk Except, stainless steel can be cold formed just fine, as proven by this stainless steel travel cup.
This is a cope. CT design was a miss. What a stupid car.

[Aidas Lemon @Lomanonis]

Eurochads dont need a wastefull garage for their inventions. For example, this man has developed a method to melt metal using a kitchen microwave. He is doing it in his balcony. Nobody can stop him from literaly pouring steel in his living room

[Paul Graham @paulg]

It could actually be a significant problem that Europe doesn't have enough garages. This sounds like a joke, but I'm serious. Garages let you work on stuff that doesn't matter yet, which is how big things often start. The outliers of ideas need the outliers of space.
