Prusa XL

[curious aardvark]

as usual you know better martin - josef says it's cheaper to make lots of smaller beds - but what does he know compared to you.

7:00 in the video linked. 'it is cheaper and easier to manufacturer small beds and put them together'.

And if that's not a direct ripoff of the e3d tool changer, it's so close as to make no difference.

Injection moulding is superior in a lot of cases.
It's also easier to use different ,materials.

Opensource does not preclude using injection moulded parts.

The xl is a lot less user duplicatable than any of the previous prusas.
There is a lot of propriatary electronics in there that would be really difficult to copy.

So in house injections moulding - would just make sense.

And if i paid that kind of money and the parts had holes in them, i'd be more than a little pissed off.

Prusa have also ripped off autowiz's no crossbeam design for the frame.
The swine !
