      The fact that the article introduced him as a slicer developer instead of being the owner of a 3D printing company is suspicious.

      This guy’s like the Skydio CEO. His printers can’t compete so he tries to spread FUD.

      I guess unlike Skydio his products aren’t exactly trash but from a price to performance perspective Prusa printers aren’t worth it.

      If you’re concerned about spying then firewall your printers off or don’t connect them to a network.

      Jeff Geerling recently mentioned in one of his videos that he would never buy a Bambu Labs 3D printer again and now runs his in offline mode only because everything you do is routed to their cloud servers even when you’re just locally sending a print job.

      This seems like a great way to have your design stolen and possibly marketed.

      If he truly believed Bambu Lab was violating his license, he could sue to have Bambu Labs banned from selling in his home turf (Europe) and possibly the US. But he won’t because he knows he doesn’t have a case.

      I’m here to listen to the takes of the unwashed masses debate the most complicated form of law in the history of the human race.

      This title is terrible. Prusa is not a developer of orcaslicer. His company developed PrusaSlicer, which BambuSlicer and subsequently OrcaSlicer are based off.
