Does Prusa Control Voron?

Why does Prusa have meetings with the Voron team? Could it be that Prusa is leveraging the Voron project as a means to generate sales and attack their perceived enemies without appearing to be the driving force behind it all?
Before anyone actually says it. I know what your criticism is going to be "Dude, Prusa does not control Voron. They are just a friendly open source company being nice to another open source project." My answer is this: Why doesn't the Ratrig have a vocal and toxic group of fanboys? Why isn't Ratrig meeting with Prusa and bragging about it while sucking up to Prusa on Twitter? Who are the team members designing Voron printers? Why did they decide to make the Switchwire and the Enraged Rabbit Carrot Feeder? Everyone knows that bed slingers are inferior to CoreXY, and everyone knows just how dysfunctional the MMU2 is. Why would the Voron team waste their time copying faulty flawed and otherwise bad designs when they already had a killer portfolio of CoreXY designs? The obvious answer is because they are being manipulated by Prusa to make Prusa's products look better in comparison.

@yodasscrotum Here is a sample of the comments I have received in just this video: "You're a sad sad little man. Get therapy.": "What drugs are you on?" "You should really question what this mad man says" "Nurse! He's out of bed again." "Man, you need to take your Valium! :))" "your mental health getting progressively worse bruh" These qualify as Ad Hominem because all of them attempt to dimish my worth as a person or presenter instead of addressing the validity of my statements. The assertions I made in the video can be summarized: Conspiracies actually exist. Nobody really likes Prusa, but we are made to think that some people do, He and his company are very large and as such they must manipulate things from the shaddows in order to keep growing. One such manipulation was to grow Voron and use it for Decoy Pricing. To fight against me and not engage in Ad Hominem you must dispute or disprove the assertions I made in the video. Attacking my person instead of addressing the points I made is Ad Hominem. I addressed anything of value which NERO said. I called him out for his bad behavior laughing at me for having a conspiracy theory before admitting that he is part of the conspiracy. Wearing an Apron is a statement. Just like wearing a MAGA hat is a statement. By showing how stupid it is to wear an Apron when 3D printing I am attacking the statement not the man. "Hominem" literaly means man in latin. I attacked his attire becuase it is a stupid statement. You are guilty of playing politics and ignoring truth. You just want your team to win. You try to use my own words against me because I'm winning. I'm winning because I serve the truth and the greater good. STOP PLAYING TEAM POLITICS. I don't care if you like me or not. Just acknowledge the trugh and see the other players for their flaws. All you do is attack me instead of asking if Prusa is a good thing for the hobby of 3D printing and if NERO isn't just a lackey for Prusa. You don't care how wrong your team is as long as you win. You are ruled by ugly emotions. What's worse is the fact that I got two of this same comment within a minute of eachother. You are on some other forum forming a mob to hate on me.

@@DesignPrototypeTest i want to understand you standpoint. How is voron competing with prusa? The target groups are verry different. Voron is a diy project for tinkerers and prusa is more of the tun key method for the people that want a tool that works (of course you can build your prusa yourself if you choose to). Prusa gives you a working product and most importanty the security of service, wich is key to people who want to use their machines as tools and don´t have time or interest in figuring out their machines, something you won´t get with vorons.I just don´t see the connections between the two, especially because voron isn´t an actual company that would be interested in profit.

Since nobody is talking about Railcore anymore and hardly anyone talks about Ratrig, It is most likely he would narrow his choices down to the Voron or a Prusa. He only needs one printer. He chooses the Voron. That means that Prusa just lost a sale. Now, think about how many printers Prusa sells.

I think you’re way overthinking it. Prusa knows they still have a big corner of the market. A lot of people are not willing to put in the time and effort or even possess the ability to assemble and get a voron up and running. Prusa prides itself on ease of setup and reliability. Prusa having involvement with voron is just them supporting the community as a whole and shows they have interest in other parts aside from just what they are doing. It’s good for the community. I worry you are dealing with other issues outside of this and I hope you can find help. I wish you the best.

Marlin doesn't have input shaping like klipper or reprap or at least if it has it for the last year and it's definitely not that easy to set up. Reprap has it (I am not sure if it had it before klipper), but you can't run reprap on cheap machines without having to spend a lot of money for the boards and basically use their ecosystem. (for you it might be worth it but for others spending 100+ for a new board when you can even use an old phone and rig up klipper on it ) This basically makes klipper a TON more accessible for the average tinkerer. Toxic communities exist about everything so calling the klipper community toxic is a great generalization. So for this fact you said, I disagree. Yes, there might be conspiracies and people are in it to make money(shady guys as well), but not everything that doesn't agree with your opinion is a conspiracy. What the hell dude? Although I didn't always agree with you, I respected your opinions. Now, I am basically done listening. Even if you are correct about everything you say... (Feel free to call me a prusa guy if you like) I only have an ender 3 for the last couple of years, with klipper on it. Call me a hater or whatever you want.

[@reaperdeath667]

Also Klipper was just the flavor they chose to put on voron it doesn't mean you can't run anything else on a voron like installing a duet or running marlin or octoprint ect. Nero himself had to make numerous videos on the Klipper community to stop the toxicity so I don't undestand the bashing of voron for the Klipper community, I've personally never had any issues with toxicity with Klipper either,but to each there own.

[@MisterDeets]

GloomyAndy helped put together a port to run Reprap on a few different SKR boards. My steel prusa clone runs on that exact setup with a WIFI module plugged in. It's quite nice, though you are more limited in the number of bed mapping points that you can use due to lack of available RAM and there is no way to run a screen that I am aware of using this type of connection. This allows for replaceable drivers, which is quite nice also.

[@dirkmiller9872]

If you were suggesting Prusa has a vested interest in Voron’s success as a way to capitalize from the open source development and innovation that comes out of the Voron community, I could entertain that idea. But saying a corexy Voron is intentionally needlessly difficult to build as part of Prusa’s marketing plan to incentivize people to buy a cartesian Prusa seems pretty bonkers. I want to preface this by saying I’ve been a subscriber for a while now and have always valued your opinion, but this seems startlingly reactionary and deep into the field of conjecture. I do not own a Prusa, though I have used them. You brought up Prusa’s sales figures for an unknown reason and are intentionally quoting numbers in gross sales, not trying to calculate net profit. There’s a big difference between having met someone or knowing someone versus actively working with someone, especially as this seems to be the basis for your claims. I don’t understand how you got the impression Voron presents themselves as the only platform for input shaping, it’s widely known input shaping can be used on any printer. It’s much easier to buy a Prusa than a Voron because… Voron doesn’t sell printers, they design them and support vendors in the community who supply kits. Selling printers is not a Voron priority. This has made the market more competitive and better for consumers as there are multiple Voron kits available from reputable suppliers at varying price points rather than one option from Prusa. I really wish I could understand your perspective and point of view as it seems you really believe what you’re saying. I would love to see you get back to sharing your true passions, and I hope that doesn’t mean more videos like this :(

That Nero3dp response doesn't say anything about the voron team working with prusa. He simply said that they've met members of prusa staff and that they do not have an antagonistic relationship... Ultimately RCF controls voron with HUGE input from the voron design team. (Voron design is very open about how they are structured and most of it happens in public view right on the discord), Voron is also an open source project, I can't recall off the top of my head exactly what license they use (I think it's gnu gpl if i'm not mistaken which would mean if you don't like what's going on, you can fork it so long as you attribute the original work back to the voron design team and include full sources for both unmodified and modified versions.) saying that voron is controlled by prusa is like saying hp is in control of dell because they don't hate each other and have similar designs in the same market.

I'm on my 4th Voron. I wouldn't buy a Prusa. I have nothing against them. The fun, for me, is in the building of it. Klipper also isn't specific to Voron at all. You can run it on just about any printer. Voron is popular because some 3D printing people like to build as much as print, and the Voron printers are excellent machines, if you build them properly. You can also take as little or as much time as you like to do it.

I am subscribed to your channel and have been watching your videos for a while now. I've liked quite a few that regarded actual 3D printing tech and not ones regarding Prusa. I don't own an actual Prusa, but I do own a steel knockoff frame that Orballo made that I cobbled into a decent printer using a Turbo 1.4 mainboard etc. Prusa hasn't made dime one off of me and I'm not a fanboy. I've watched Nero's channel as well. He comes off as acerbic, but genuinely does seem to want to help the community while making a living from it just like you do (nothing wrong with that). With all those qualifiers out of the way, the Voron team are all strong 3D Print enthusiasts and they likely met Prusa while separately walking around at various MRRF or other maker-centric gathering places over the years. That is almost certainly what Nero meant. I doubt there was some formalised meeting where the Voron guys all packed up to meet with Prusa specifically. I don't think the Voron guys have even met each other as a group to be honest. I get that Nero upset you with the GIF, but it just seems like you spun out of control on this.

Oh God I had to stop laughing to be able to type. Joseph Prusa built a good reprap printer. Voron built a good reprap printer. There is mutual respect between them. That does not need a conspiracy theory to explain that. This is what happens when people have mutual respect for each other. And I can say I don't take any marching orders from Joseph Prusa I work on what I want to within Voron. And Voron is not a company. We participate because we want a platform to drive the hobby forward for all members. You should take the relationship between the 2 groups as an example of how civilized people behave. Instead of making up conspiracy and unverified claims. It's literally that simple. Why does a respectful interaction between too groups seem so strange to you? And I know you had to have started this video before it came out. The Prusa family is grieving a loss in their family.

All I’ll say is this: it’s difficult to be able to critique something fairly unless the thing under scrutiny exists in your hands. So, buy a Voron kit from one of the suppliers (I’d recommend LDO) and (using the points you made in this video) see whether your claims are grounded, or unfounded.

[@karellen00]

Or the solution is even simpler: Prusa and Voron have a good relationship as they are in two different niches of the market, so they are not competitors. Someone who buys a Prusa will never consider building a Voron as an alternative and vice versa, as someone who builds a gaming pc won't consider buying a macbook air. All the major diy 3d printer communities will probably behave toxicly with you if you tell them you want to build one of their printers but with Marlin or RepRap, there's an abyss of distance to Klipper! The software is an extremely important part of the printer, to continue with pc analogy it's like if you wanted to get a brand new macbook air M2 to install macOS 9, asking on the forums a lot of useless questions on how to install it and making it to work. And no, marlin doesn't have input shaping at all, RepRap has something, but comparing it to what Klipper have is like a joke, Klipper basically allows you to double acceleration and speed while increasing a lot print quality, it's like magic! But it would be really cool if you wanted to take all 3 firmwares and making a video comparing this feature!

Marlin does not have input shaper. Reprap firmware only just got a somewhat limited implementation of input shaper. I don’t agree with your suppositions about voron being a prusa puppet - I’ve spent a lot of time in a bunch of the discord communities like voron, Doomcube, annex, vez3D etc. These printers have mostly developed organically. Yes voron and annex have core members who have started those communities. Yes some of those core members have met with prusa, but that’s only been fairly recently. The switchwire exists because someone thought corexz was a cool idea and decided to design one using some of the voron design principals. Reading more into it that that is just wildly off base speculation. I agree the voron community can be toxic, but literally every large community I’ve found(and it’s far larger than rat rig) trends that way. That’s why so many other communities have spun off in recent years. And those communities are where the really cool stuff is happening.

[@cameronbigger3412]

I have liked your previous content and I am a fan of many different 3D printing channels because I enjoy learning about all kinds of new printers. I don't particularly like the "obsession" with Prusa - I just think that seems to be replacing the kind of better content you have historically focused on. For full disclosure, I do have a MK3 (later upgraded to MK3S) that I have reliably and happily used for 3+ years with only a thermistor needing to be replaced (and that was about 3 months ago). 3 years ago the value seemed a bit higher, especially since I was new to 3D printing and back then the Chinese clones weren't (on average) as good as they are now. In 2022, yes, the Prusa may appear overpriced for a bed slinger with an 8 bit MCU, moderate but not overly large build volume, no built-in wifi, and a small monochrome screen. So I get that. But "overpriced" is in the eye of the consumer. Some people are willing to pay a premium for something where they get great support for a pretty polished user experience. If people don't want a Prusa - don't buy a Prusa. I just got a Bambu Lab XC1 and I am enjoying it so far. I am considering building a Voron 2.4 and have also considered adding an IDEX printer like the Sovol SV04. I am not wed to only Prusa, but will likely continue to keep and use my MK3S as long as it keeps running. I say, just buy what you want and like and what fits your budget and technical expertise (where kits or BOM parts are concerned). Do we really need to divide the 3D printing community into iPhone versus Android style fanboy debates? Can't we say what we like and why and yet respect other people's opinions for what they like, even if it is different than our choices? I hope so.

[@markuskeller9734]

Great comment. I agree. Aggressive Prusa marketing speech aside: If Prusa would not be able to deliver to their promises mainly, the many hundreds of thousands of buyers would have regretted their decision to purchase a Prusa machine and most would likely stopped using it. Being part of a bigger 3D printing community myself I never experienced this is actually going to happen. Sure, not all are happy, there are complaints and issues, and people who do not want a Prusa. That's totally normal. Taste is different. But DPT treats all the Prusa buyers and users like being dumb fools who got all tricked by genius Josef. Nonsense! I think, the vast majority of people who purchased a Prusa (despite saying its overly priced or outdated technology lalala...) have made a reasonable and informed decision on their own. Only because there are more modern 3D printers becoming available nowadays, there is no need to say anything bad or negative about users still using their old and outdated machines if they still run well and do the job as expected. No one changes her car every few months just because someone else came out with a better feature or a newer car. Stupid logic! Like Cameron said: if you want a Prusa: buy one! If you don't like Prusa: skip it. Period. Show more tolerance towards other options and decisions, don't make this a religious discord. Be assured, I am not a fan-boy. As an engineer myself, I just love and enjoy my 3D printing hobby and the variety of options, machines and communities available to make this hobby real fun. I have many Chinese printers in active use (2 x Anycubic I3 Mega, 1 x Sapphire Pro, 1 x Artillery Sidewinder X1, 1 x Artillery Genius, 2 x FLSun Q5), I built two larger Hypercube Evolution myself and also purchased a Prusa MK3S+ Kit and a Prusa Mini+ pre-built. The latter two machines being absolutely reliable machines - even being considered "outdated" in 2020 - still producing great print results. I use them for rapid prototyping. Both Prusa machines are in the original state, only a nozzle and a teflon tube had be exchanged so far. All my Chinese printers,I also like very much, but literally ALL, had to be modified, upgraded and tuned to make them work reliable and silent (how many noise cheep ass Chinese fans have I replaced? 20? ...). If asked which printer I can recommend to beginners: my fist answer is always: well, ideally you start with an "old & original" Ender 3 to ge a feeling for the hobby ... however: I also love my Prusa printers, sorry.

[@TJGoan]

I don't know Josef Prusa and don't own one of his printers. I considered it because there are many real people who own those machines and think highly of them. The company seems to have a reputation for standing behind their product in a way that Creality and the like historically (at least) didn't. So people willingly paid money to mitigate their concerns over product quality because who wants a lemon for their first printer. Many of those buyers ultimately had very good experiences and didn't mind telling others. These people get called fanboys for the same reason vocal iPhone users do. They like the product and are willing to say so. When you make video after video telling all those fanboys that they were duped and therefore stupid, why would you be surprised that some in that community might be angry with you? Also, guess what? Companies have all kinds of reasons to have discussions and cooperate.... Sometimes to the advantage of the wider community they serve.

I'll retort this bit by bit here and tell you why you're wrong. 1:50 -- Josef isn't unlikable. Have you ever been to MRRF? Because I haven't seen you. But I've seen Josef there. And you know how many people are eager to talk with him, including me? -- He's got a bit of an odd personality, but many of us do. He's Czech, and you simply don't understand the culture that exists there. This misunderstanding is what makes him feel "Unlikable" to you. No man behind a curtain, he just simply has existed since the early days of RepRap (btw, have you ever built a Sells mendel? Because Prusa is the guy who made that whole thing much more approachable...hence his popularity). He knows his shit, from an engineering perspective - mechanical, electrical, and otherwise. 2:00 -- This is an argumentative fallacy. Just because conspiracies exist, does not make _your_ conspiracy theory true. This is a tactic that people who spread disinformation regularly use. 2:10 - 2:53 - "Prusa is raking in". Another misdirected fallacy. You are using gross revenue, before expenses (net revenue) to argue that Prusa is some sort of gigantic corporate overlord. Litter this with "I think they" and "but they sell filament" and using that to make these hugely inflated claims is just rife with bias. Another - common - tactic that disinformation artists use. 5:31 - The same reason you don't understand Prusa's "likeability" is the same reason you don't understand the Voron. There's a group of core enthusiasts who have existed for 12+ years at this point (myself included) - including names like Nophead, Triffid_Hunter, Adrian Bowyer, Whosawhatsis, Thomas Sanladerer, Gina Haubage, and god...I have like 100 other names that I could go on listing from my Hangouts (a remnant of the G+ era) that basically drive this space. We're what you CLAIM to be. We are all the OGs in the space who didn't have chinese vendors available to us at the time in order to get cheap parts. We're the people who bought everything at Home Depot, and Lowes, and junk yards and scrap yards just in order to get some rickety garbage to move. Some of us had to order our own microcontrollers and etch PCBs ourselves for the first machines to come to life. We failed, and failed, and failed over and over and over and over again - so that you could stand on our shoulders with easy to use machines and not ever have to think about why overconstraining your Z axis is a stupid as fuck idea, or why screwless-ball-bearings are dumb, etc. Many of us still enjoy doing this, and advancements in the space such as the things that the Voron are doing, are exciting to this core group of people. Sorry that your shit-talking people on KZbin doesn't seem to be driving any major statistics yet. 6:01 - Uh, no - neither of them had input shaping. Even now Marlin doesn't. You are grossly misinformed. RRF only released input shaping in APRIL of 2022. Marlin still doesn't have it as far as I'm aware - so you need to fact check yourself. Here again, you make a dishonest argument. Marlin has resonance compensation, but does _not_ have the level of feature parity that Klipper has in its implementation. Klipper has had this feature for a long time, and it only just recently became available on RRF; which is a terrible ecosystem to begin with. Nobody in their right fucking mind wants to use 15 different files to configure their machine through various .g files and impossible-to-remember M-codes. So, RepRapFirmware sucks ass - and Klipper doesn't. Wow who would have thought that everyone would want to use Klipper! What a conundrum! How ever will we figure out how this happened?! 6:57 - This shows clearly your true colors. Voron isn't a competitor to Prusa. You don't understand the community at all. It isn't a commercial venture. None of us see each other as enemies like you've grown accustomed to out in the normal world. EVERY...SINGLE...ONE...OF...US...ARE...PROFESSIONAL...FRIENDS. We aren't out to eat each others lunch. We're here to grow and adopt and expand the thing we love so much. You don't understand the community. You are obviously not a part of the community. You're a confused, sad little man who's out of the loop and you're screaming at the world because you don't get it. 8:31 - I do more than 1400 printer repairs/rebuilds/refits (including kits like the Tronxy, Prusa, Voron, custom Deltas, etc) in a year at my shop. So wow...you've done 8. 9:02 - Again - showing you don't understand the community whatsoever. Voron isn't some massive outfit dude. They aren't venture-capitalists looking to spin up a new product and hiring engineers to spin up slaves in China. People doing 3D printing are just your average every-day first-world person with a real job on the side. 9:44 - Decoy pricing only works like this if it's a similar product. You can't put a 2 door economy out for $15k on the market, and use a $100k supercar as your "Decoy Pricing". Not how this works, and you're grasping at straws at this point. Prusa's product line doesn't overlap with Voron. They sell kits of the Prusa; sure - but the reasons for that have more to do with Prusa's roots in the DIY community. Prusa has mentioned to the community many times that he wanted to stop producing it, because in terms of wasteful spending - the Prusa kit almost loses them money in the amount of ridiculous support that the people usually end up needing, etc. He even played with the idea of maybe making the DIY kit MORE than the preassembled kit due to how much extra it was costing them in support. 10:50 - what kind of asinine leap of logic is that? You can't even read a direct quote as it's meant to be read? No wonder he's laughing at you... 11:35 -- what? If you come from a prior job where you've learned to use an apron, why is it that far fetched that someone would feel comfortable doing so working with other machines? This is again, an odd leap. 12:37 - dude...I already told you who "we" are. We...are not you. You are _not_ part of the 3D printing community. I've never seen you at a Midwest RepRap Festival, East Coast RepRap festival, MakerFaire, or anything of the like. I've never heard anyone in the community even mention your name. Who even are you anyhow? You've been doing this for 5 years and all you've managed to do is make enemies? Why would you even continue this? It's obvious nobody likes your behavior. 13:31 - Josef, not an admirable person you say? He designs all of his stuff as open source, has had many millions of people congeal around him because of his repertoire into communities that passively - without any coordination from Josef himself - praise him and his products, and that's not admirable? Oh you doth protest too much sir. Sounds like haters gonna hate. And baiters gonna bait. Keep up the rage-bait videos for your channel, it seems to be working.

If you said "He raked in $1000 at the casino" nobody would assume you had accounted for taxes, or deducted the tip he paid to the Limo driver. They would know you meant that he got $1000 in winnings and walked out the Casino doors with that money. >Voron...There's a group of core enthusiasts Mmy channel has a group of core enthusiasts too.

Its a fun build (for me) i don't do "speed benchy" and so on its just a good relatable printer (after you put the 40h of a build as you say, I did put about 60~70h, FYI) 3) nero apron issues, so he did talk about it in the past. He gets it to copy Adam Savage, and now it's his trademark? 4) Nero subscribe is fast because he left his day job, and now he does youtube full time and about 2~4 live every week and youtube love it and he is the "most know voron build howto" nowadays ("Steve Builds" is the 2th) so if you stuck in build Nero will be the first video you are going to find to help you 5) last point is Chris warkocki i just looked i did watch 3 of his videos in the past (review ones) i do remember the face; that is all the feedback I can give about him) ok, now I'm going to leave feedback on the rest of your videos

In that tweet, you said, voron has done more damage to prusa than you had, So why would any smart company decide to market something that cannibalizes their own product sales, without any replacement revenue, because voron doesn't sell and offical kits.

In my opinion, Prusa does well because, like me, there are thousands (millions?) of people who “just want to print”. They don’t want to be bothered with learning what makes it work. Vorons are for mechanical types who want speed and the satisfaction of DYI builds. Sure, Prusa has DYI builds but they provide hand held support from start to finish. I only got into 3D printing because my main hobby, FPV drones, can use lots of TPU parts. My first printer was an Artillery SWX1, 95% prebuilt. My second was the Prusa MK3S+, 100% factory built and because of my laziness, would 100% recommend to anyone not wanting to learn and just wants to print. I think Nero’s apron is more of a Shtick than it is about getting dirty and your presentation of it was funny. What I find interesting is, how will Prusa compete with Bambu Labs Carbon X1 or if they even can? If I want to spend $1500 for my next printer, it would be for the Carbon X1 over the Prusa XL.

[@pjmccracken]

I'd ditch the Prusa vendetta as no one really cares tbh, most of your subs just want useful technical content and most probably do not or never will own a Prusa, I have been using a Sidewinder X1 for the last few years, a great little printer, the core xy stuff has me intrigued so currently building a RatRig V3 and I might build a Voron 2.4 after that. For people who like to self build the Voron and RatRig along with the Hevort are the go to designs at the moment and are all well documented open source projects. For those that want a solution that works out of the box depending on your budget buy an Ender 3, it just works and for the money you can't fault it, if you have a bit more cash to splash go buy the Bambu, all the early reports are very positive. I don't know why people would actually buy a Prusa, nothing against the guy at all but people clearly aren't educating themselves or researching properly, as I mentioned above there are better/cheaper solutions depending on your budget. For your own sake please take advice from your subs and stick with the technical content, educate people by showing just how good printers like Ender 3/Hevort/Ratrig/Voron can be, that would be far more useful and effective than trying to convince people Prusa is the devil incarnate, because most of us could not care less.

Unless you've got knowledge that business meetings took place, you appear to be deliberately taking the most extreme possible interpretation of those words. 🤷‍♂

[@81XS11]

I met Chuck Yeager once. Nice guy. Doesn't make me a pilot though. Nero said he met Prusa. Ok. Great. Saying that proves a conspiracy is a logical fallacy. I built a Voron and it didn't take all that much time. About 10ish, but I didn't do it all at once. I am not sure where you can say it takes days of work. It really doesn't. Input shaper isn't Voron exclusive. It's Klipper. Klipper can be used on pretty much any FDM printer, and ergo so can input shaper. In my humble, but highly accurate, opinion, if a machine is built well and doesn't have a bunch of loose stuff flopping around, input shaper is of minimal use. Yeah, it makes things look nicer at higher acceleration, but it wasn't a "God appears and gives me the quest to find the holy grail" moment. So, I am not sure where you get the idea that's Voron exclusive. The Voron is complicated. But, as I built it, it was as simple in each aspect as it could be. In essence, a 1927 Model A is a car. So is a 2022 Charger. Yes, a car can be simple, like the Model A. But, it will never do what a new car will. Imagine trying to put air bags, antilock brakes, and all the safety equipment we now take for granted on a Model A. Even if you kept each system as simple as possible, that Model A would be just as complex as a new rolling canbus computer network...sorry...car. I miss your old videos where you showed us where you made things better or explained something useful. All the recent negative videos where you attack the Voron, Prusa, the BTT filament sensor, et al. are really getting old. Please go back to being interesting. Please?

So that meeting with the pioneer of supersonic flight had no influence on you. Nothing that he said guided you in any direction whatsoever? You are still talking about it years later.

[@TheSanzca]

Ok, so let me get this right, just having a civilized chat and mutual respect for each other means you are jumping into bed and getting it on now? That is your proof. I think even Alex Jones will be ashamed of how these dots are linked.

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

Why doesn't the Ratrig have a vocal and toxic group of fanboys? Why isn't Ratrig meeting with Prusa and bragging about it while sucking up to Prusa on Twitter? Who are the team members designing Voron printers? Why did they decide to make the Switchwire and the Enraged Rabbit Carrot Feeder? Everyone knows that bed slingers are inferior to CoreXY, and everyone knows just how dysfunctional the MMU2 is. Why would the Voron team waste their time copying faulty flawed and otherwise bad designs when they already had a killer portfolio of CoreXY designs? The obvious answer is because they are being manipulated by Prusa to make Prusa's products look better in comparison.

[@TheSanzca]

Maybe you should do more research? Maybe watch the interview with the guy that started Voron, watch the people that are part of the Voron team? Steve, Eddie the engineer etc? The enraged rabbit feeder was not a Voron specific thing I believe but more klipper specific. I believe the guy that designed it was invited to be part of the Voron team, so to the person that designed and made the hartk pcb boards. In general I like your videos but for this one, I think the lack of research and what Voron is all about really shows. Maybe build one yourself and join the community to get some insight? As far as Ratrig goes, not really a true open source printer, some parts I think are proprietary and the cost more than a Voron in general. Sometimes things are popular because they are good.

[@urufushinjiro]

@@DesignPrototypeTest the obvious answer is you don't have a clue what you're talking about and you're making shit up. Ratrig has no more or less toxic community than Voron. Who's on the team, that's publicly posted knowledge, you did zero research. The switch wire was a COVID project by one of the team members to explore coreXZ, ERCF was not even a Voron project lol! You've got nothing but incorrect information and baseless attacks, all because your feelings got hurt on Twitter.

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

These are good points, but they are about as flimsy as my arguments. NERO is the face of Voron. He's shown a history of sucking up to Prusa. Why? What does Prusa do for NERO to buy this kind of servile behavior? I can easily believe that not all of the Voron "team" are tied up with Prusa. This video was an accusation to justify the implied question. Now I'm hoping that some light will be shown on the relationship between Voron and Prusa. There clearly is a relationship but the extents of it are just speculative by your and me. We need those involved to clarify. Something that will never be clarified is the "Why doesn't the Ratrig have a vocal and toxic group of fanboys?" question. You think the answer is "Sometimes things are popular because they are good." but I say the Ratrig is as good as the Voron. and the reason for the fanboy behavior is because it is spillover from the toxic Prusa fanboys (sock puppets?).

Question regarding the presentation of Prusa sales... Yes, if true the company "rakes inn" 750USD per kit sold. But that's not a definition of cash to the owner(s). The overhead cost of materials/parts, labour, manufacturing, shipping, buildings and logistics. Cannot be ignored and presented as not existing. It would surprise me if Prusa made any more than 5 to 15% pure profit per kit sold. Which is a reasonable number to put out for any company which has the economic balance to stay in business. To rephrase, if Prusa as a company made even close to 30% of the "kit price" as pure profit on their products sold. Prusa would be one of the best companies in the world to invest in.

[@bernardosilva7306]

@@DesignPrototypeTest OK, so, I re-watched your video and here are the main mistakes (just about Klipper) listed by time: 5:48: Main selling point of Klipper is not Input Shaping. This is just one of many innovative features that Klipper has, and yes, other platforms also adopted (Marlin Input Shaping was based on the Klipper implementation, since both projects are 100% open source). The main difference that Klipper offers is the fact that the main processing of the print is done in a separate CPU instead of the printers mainboard. This is normally using a Raspberry Pi but can be anything running Linux. This has multiple benefits but one of the most interesting ones (and the main reason Voron adopted Klipper) is the ability of having multiple printer boards (also known as multi-mcu) so you can build more complex printers because you are not limited by the main board maximum number of steeper drivers. 6:05: Where do you have the information that Klipper is only for Voron printers? It is the exact opposite. Klipper was created before Voron, it was NOT adopted by Voron on their first printers, and it was ALWAYS designed to be installed on ANY printer. Like I told you, I “klipperize” my Ender 3 and my Elegoo Neptune 3 (both cheap chinese printers) and doing so I have all the benefits (like Input Shaping) on those printers with just the “cost” of a Raspberry Pi (or any other SBC Linux computer). Voron and Klipper are two completely different and disconnected projects. It just happens that the latest Voron designs decided to use Klipper. They could have done with Marlin if they wanted to, so what? 6:22: Lockdown by patterns? What? Which patterns? All Klipper does is fully open source and anyone can use it. Marlin did their Input Shaping heavily based on Klipper’s code, and that is great! That is what open source is supposed to be. So, do your research, read Klipper’s code (github.com/Klipper3d/klipper), read it’s main forum (klipper.discourse.group) and learn what it is and what it stands for before making up false facts. About Voron and Prusa, I could care less. I don’t care about Voron and specially not Prusa (don’t like Prusa also), but Klipper is a very important project, and together with Marlin both projects are evolving 3D printing as a whole, so, they must be properly explained on educational platforms like your KZbin.

It's no wonder why we're not seeing quality content from you when you're hung up with the sheer amount of real estate in your mind that is occupied by other people and their business. Design-Prototype-Test should start another channel called Fuss-Moan-Complain, and put serious effort into separating content between the two. Think of a Prusa like an iPhone - no one is buying for the latest features, because Android is dominating the market in fresh tech before Apple is. What they are buying is into the ecosystem. Prusa has a very basic product, but is able to provide support unlike most Asian countries, and people are willing to pay a premium for support because at the end of the day not everyone is into electronics and no one wants a huge paperweight sitting on their desk. Note: I am not a fanboy and do not own a Prusa. I enjoyed a lot of your previous content, as much as the other content creators I have followed over the past 5 years here on KZbin. However, none of them are going through this much effort to complain about a man and his company. Several of your recent videos have stood out as whiny for this sort of dribble. And Nero said they have met Joseph Prusa, most likely referring to at a trade show, convention, etc. At no point in your entire rant did you provide any shred of evidence that there are any sort of "secret" or "public" meetings between the two businesses. You are digging, and digging deep, to associate some nonsensical theory that does nothing at the end of the day. Further, and just to point out because I did not see it mentioned in any of the comments, that machinists wear aprons. Check of some of Adam Savage videos here on YT where he often wears one when machining parts. When you're assembling a 3d printer, if you're doing it correctly, you're lubricating the rails and guides, which Nero does in all his builds I have briefly watched. Parts also come from the factories covered in a grease, which gets all over everything. No one wants glue, silicone, grease, or oil on their clothes...so there's that. You'll notice I do not comment on videos frequently, and out of all your videos I have only ever commented (in support) of one of your other videos. I simply do not have the time to provide input as I work and have a family. I hit my like button and move on. But the fact that I have taken the amount of time I have now to type all this out, should be evidence enough that I don't want to see you fall further down your rabbit hole. I sincerely hope you don't take any of this the wrong way, and I encourage a more positive approach to future video content and leave all this dribble in the past.

The fact that they communicate with Prusa (does not mean that they work with them nor for them) means that this is healthy competition and nothing else.
