You also are accusing Prusa of being a psychopath…. while only talking about what a psychopath is but no evidence that he actually is. I think you should just walk away from Prusa and this topic because this makes you look so bad and it’s not healthy.

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

I did. I just wasn't very clear. It's the fact that he can't empathize. He thinks the most valuable thing to him is the most valuable thing to me. It would be so easy if he had even the slightest bit of empathy to know what I want. I asked him for it directly. If he really believes I need help and actually wants to help me, why not dangle that as a reward? eg. "I'll tell everyone you taught me about temperature based sensor drift if you will go to therapy."

[@MitchCrane]

@@DesignPrototypeTest you have the most skewed perception. Nothing in his offer implies that he thinks that what he offered would be the _most valuable_ thing to you. Why would you think that? The thing you want so bad, validation that he learned some thing from one of your videos, is something nobody but you cares about, and something you are never going to get. I think you should move on. Even if you are 100% correct in your claim, you should move on. If you can't, then you're the one with a personality disorder.

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

@MitchCrane Ok. If my perception is skewed, then please propose an alternative explanation of his behavior which makes sense. Why does Josef think that a factory tour is something that I want? Why did he make the offer at the beginning, change his mind because I talked about Sanjay's death and "burned all bridges," but then 30 minutes later he changed his mind again. He went back on his word and offered me a factory tour for the second time. Of all the things he has learned about me, why does he think a tour of his building is something that I would find rewarding enough to entice me to do the action he wants of me? Do you think his offer included an implied free airplane ticket to get to his factory? If he is empathizing with me (putting himself in my shoes in the way that Psychopath is unable to do) he would realize that I need to fly halfway around the world to arrive at his factory. Why didn't he mention an all expenses paid factory tour? He cares about my well being right? That's why he is trying to motivate me to "get help." Even if the admission about the PINDA probe is off the table, doesn't he think that something like a beta test unit of his next printer might be more valuable to me than a tour? Is he actually even serious about me seeking psychological help? He is a good guy, and a stand up leader who is looking down upon me with pity hoping that I will find peace. Right? So why does he think the best way to accomplish this is by offering me a factory tour? Wouldn't it be more effective to make an announcement to "the community" to stop attacking me in his name? That would bring me an incredible amount of peace. Why won't he disavow the bad behavior which is damaging my mental stability? He wants to help me doesn't he?

[@MitchCrane]

@@DesignPrototypeTest I can only say that to me it just looked like an olive branch. If you feel it was less than thoughtful, OK. Indicative of sociopathy? That's ridiculous. I don't think JP owes you an all expense paid trip to Europe. I doubt that he thinks he owes you anything, much less the "most important" thing to you. He offered you something. You didn't like the offer. Fine. I agree with you. Unless I had plans to be in Europe already, it's not worth it. The fact that you think he was trying to offer the most important thing to you is just bewildering. As for asking the community to stop attacking you in his name, that's something you believe is happening. People who develop some kind of misguided loyalty to product brands are real, and I don't doubt that you have raised the ire of a few. Say something unflattering about the stupid Cyber Truck or Hyperloop and the Musk worshipers will come out of the woodwork. It's a thing. It happens. I'm pretty sure I remember once it was Chinese people attacking you. And then was it Teaching Tech stole something regarding videos or something? You have a really inflated sense of self-importance. You're just another youtuber. You've alienated yourself from much of the community because you come off as a paranoid weirdo who thinks everyone is stealing his genius ideas. You think they are all being gaslighted or controlled by Prusa, but these are delusions. People aren't conspiring against you. You're making videos about a dead guy and talking about auto-erotic asphyxiation and suggesting that Prusa may have had a role in his death. You really do need help. You're the one displaying a lack of empathy and acting narcissistic. You are not as important as you think you are. You aren't doing anything so ground-breaking or amazing that spies are stealing your ideas. You're just another 3D printing youtuber, except you have such anti-social tendencies that you've been largely ostracized by the community. All of this is your own doing.

[@MrKornnugget]

​@@DesignPrototypeTest What you want? Why would he owe you anything? There is plenty to criticize the company for, the MMU2 or XL for example. Instead, you are complaining that the community is "Toxic".... try criticizing a Bambu printer, people are just toxic. Then you call him a Psychopath with no evidence or qualifications to do so. Then you say that Sanjay committed suicide with zero evidence and slander his family for running a charity because you speculate, they are committing charity fraud without presenting 1 piece of evidence. You are s spreading rumors without substantial evidence for your accusation. Making baseless accusations undermines your credibility and make it difficult for others to take your concerns seriously. Lastly, I don’t get why you are hung up on him inviting you to his factory? You obviously have issues with him and his business. He is willing to invite you to see he isn’t hiding anything and the way he runs his business. Why would he owe you more than that and why would this be an issue for you. You speak of toxic communities, but look at what you are doing? Dragging people through the mud based on ideas in your head. Constructive criticism and open discussions are valuable for the community, but it's essential to maintain a respectful and evidence-based approach.

[@calmlytech]

Matthew, not going to lie, you don’t come off as the good guy in this scenario. Especially when speculating about a dead guy and the “ill-intentions” of his grieving family.

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

Please don't use my name. I do not announce it and I only used it in the correspondence with Josef because I was trying to be cordial and respectful. I don't want to be famous. Call me DPT. I especially don't want hostile accusers pretending to be intimate with me. Coming from you. My name is an attack and I don't appreciate that.

[@CNCBuddy]

I've followed you for quite a while and even emailed with you personally before, but I want to provide a different perspective before I go away. Imagine yourself having a close friend who died tragically. You and the family do not owe ANYONE an explanation of how that person died. Now imagine someone who is not your friend posts a video that goes through theories of how your friend passed away (some disgusting, some painful, possibly even one true), how would you feel? To me, in this case, I feel you've gone over a bridge too far with How did Sanjay Die? His friends and family have had months to finally feel some closure and I think a video detailing theories of the death served no purpose beyond being ghoulish and opening old wounds. I've had friends who passed away over 30 years ago that still bring me to tears thinking about it. It doesn't matter if they died by suicide, sky diving accidents or being bit by a radio active spider... it still hurts and it would hurt more to have people making videos to profit off their deaths. I'm unsubscribing. Not because I dislike you, or think you are a horrible person but because the channel has been less about engineering and more like TMZ. My purpose in telling you is not to encourage others to go away but in the hope it helps you change course. I wish you the best.

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

1) Sanjay's friends and family are profiting by using his good name. They want you to feel sad that this stranger-to-you died. To alleviate this feeling of sadness they are asking for you to support the foundation. This is low grade emotional blackmail. Sanjay was not a martyr. Sanjay obviously died in a shameful way. If revealed it would negatively affect support for the foundation. There is no other explanation for withholding his cause of death and vehemently attacking against anyone who dares to ask the perfectly sensible question. "How did he die?" 2) Obviously, nobody wants to inflict further pain upon the family. BUT Their son/brother/husband is already dead. You and I had nothing to do with it. Denying us that information isn't preventing them from further emotional distress. It's just causing us confusion. 3) I made no allegations. I SPECULATED as to the cause of his death and gave my best guess. If they just revealed the information none of us would need to speculate. WHY ARE THEY HIDING THIS? 4) What makes anyone think the family saw my video or read my words? It didn't get a lot of viewership. I have a small channel after all. If they want to avoid emotional distress over the death of their son it's probably a good idea not to go scouring the internet where people will obviously be speculating about the information being denied to them. He was a public figure who's death was announced in an extremely public fashioin. Then they threw a big gathering in his name and created a foundation in his name. They have no right to expect privacy on this issue. They certainly don't have the right to censor our speech about the subject. There is no moral or legal obligation of any sort. They just have a vested interest in keeping the information hidden. Who is the bad guy here? The guy being kept in the dark thousands of miles away, or the people with all the information censoring speech through extreme peer pressure?

[@barrymcnamee507]

You missed the part where the friends and family go and make a lot of money, publicly, using questionable terms and keeping contextually VALID information hidden away.

[@XeroShifter]

Before you read the rest of this, I just want to say that I've been subbed for a long time, I enjoy a lot of your content. We've exchanged words a few times even, and I've enjoyed that. I'm mentioning this because I am hoping that it allows you to see the text below as being written in good-faith, because text it a limited means of communication and as people who are still basically strangers it would be easy to misunderstand where something is coming from. At 12:46, I think you've unintentionally misinterpreted what Joseph was saying in the exchange. I don't think he was saying that you derive your meaning from him. I think that he's saying that he believes that a large part of your viewership comes from hating on him, and that that's not a great long-term plan as a content creator. Its an appeal what he believes might be your financial motivations, to get you to move-on and drop the vendetta. I'm willing to buy that Joseph is an egotist, I don't know enough about him to form my own opinion on much of the rest. I think its within the realm of plausibility that he's a psychopath. Whenever something serious like this comes up, I like to try to isolate things from patterns of behavior for a minute to see how starting from a fresh perspective would change things. This lets me see the most reasonable argument that my opposition could have theoretically been making, helps me to clear up potential misunderstandings, and after I've done that analysis, then I can try to bring back in old information and see how it affects things. Looking at his original message to you in September, it could be interpreted as an olive branch. The factory tour offer may not have been a real reward here, but rather saying "come see me, we'll hang out for a bit", in this light it could be "hey, I think you're a bit obsessed with me, and something has been going on. I think you need help, and if you're able to get that help, I invite you to come see me because maybe we could be friends." If Prusa were a well adjusted individual, who was aware of you and your vendetta, but not the full details of it, that would make a lot of sense, and that concept isn't contradicted by prior direct communications because it sounds like this may be the first direct communication. It may be contradicted by other actions, things said, etc, but I really think you're likely to be the better judge there since you clearly follow your own situation a lot more closely than I do. Even if you don't want to see the factory tour as an olive branch itself, you could also look at it as being consistent with the appeal he makes later in your exchange (the first part I mention in this post). If Prusa believes you to be financially dependent on your channel, the factory tour is a financial reward because many people who do them, film them and put them on their channels. If he believes that you can make money off of such a video, then the tour video may bring a lot of positive attention to your channel (from his point of view,) help you grow the channel, and get you money. This interpretation would also be consistent with the idea of him being an Egoist, or even Narcist, because it puts him in the higher social position of being able to help you. I want to be clear, I'm not saying that Prusa isn't a Psychopath. I have no idea. I'm not trying to say that your interpretation is 100% absolutely wrong, I don't know. I'm just trying to see a larger possibility space, and I'm hoping that by sharing that with you, either you'll see something you've missed, or you'll gain the value of knowing that you have been thorough, because at least you've considered the alternatives. The way I look at it, if I use "the principal of charity" whenever I can, I'm most likely to come out with the best understanding, and even if I'm a bit overly charitable, the worst I'll get is to look a bit naïve every now-and-again.

[@DerekAldridge1]

As someone that has seen some of your other videos and really appreciated the content, I can honestly say your content outside of the feuding is wonderful. It seems that you're really struggling to get past this, and I sincerely hope you seek help to get past it all.

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

It is truly evil without exaggeration to disguise an attack as an expression of goodwill. This isn't the game. I am an actual human being. What would you do if you succeeded in breaking me? Would you feel good about yourself? "i Don'T WaNt tO bReaK yOu. i'M tRyiNg tO HElp yOu."

So much of your focus is on creating beef with others. Not sure if you lean into it because it gives you more Adsense, or the haters are always on your mind.

[@FunnyPhisto]

I searched for your channel because I had vague memories of it having good content in 2018 when I got my Ender 2 and your review must have been one I have watched before I bought that printer. I am sad about your development you come off as a person that thinks everything happening in the world is about themselves and in an pretty spectacular fashion. Reading your messages and seeing your recent videos you seem manic and in an downward spiral. Seek some help maybe it will give you peace. And I would advise to self reflect but I think you are not capable of it in your current state.

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

Hmm. That's really an interesting thing that you did. Can you tell me which videos lead you to believe that I'm in a downward spiral? It sounds like you judged my videos to be more and more unhinged as time passes. Perhaps you could point to a sequence of 3 videos which illustrate this trend?

[@FunnyPhisto]

@@DesignPrototypeTest I watched your last two videos and read many of the comments and your responses that’s what I was going off of. Especially reading the response you typed to Josef Prusa made me worry. I know you will type up some witty response to this but just take this to heart: I have seen many people in the comments with very good arguments trying to convince you that you are behaving deranged despite them saying they otherwise liked your content. If so many people tell you this maybe have some thoughts about it and don’t dismiss it immediately. It’s not you vs the world, people are trying to help.

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

So, you watched 2 videos of the hundred+ in my catalogue and you came to the this unassailable conclusion? That's quite the dataset you have there. Really robust. Then you read the comments because thinking for yourself is too hard. Easier to just get your talking points from unverified strangers with a vendetta. Do you know who leaves these comments? Click on their profiles. These could be GPT bots for all you know but you take their judgement as final? For someone who hasn't watched my channel since 2018 and just now got back into it with the last two videos you sure seem to know a lot about my M.O. But what's really interesting is your derision when you said "some witty response." I looked it up. Witty is a synonym for Clever, Sharp, Brilliant and Ingenious. Are these not traits you admire? Saying I'm witty should come with an agreement of one of the myriad points I've made. For example: "Your witty retort about your continued ignorance not having anything to do with the family experiencing further pain really got me thinking. I don't think you are wrong to ask the question." Instead you seem to be trying take away any intelligence I may be displaying. Trying to neutralize the logic of my words so that you may more effectively attack me. These are some advanced tactics for someone who hasn't seen my videos since 2008 and just now picked my channel back up. Josef Prusa is (in my judgement based on the observations I have documented) a narcissist and a psychopath. He is too cowardly to talk to me himself instead relying on those like you to do his dirty work so that he may continue to earn millions from you and other suckers like you who buy his sub par products. Thankfully his empire is crumbling because he was never even 10% as good as the hype made it seem. Bambu Lab is beathing the best engineering his company can come up with. They are doing this right out of the gate. A brand new company is destroying the 15 year head start he had. How is this possible? It's because he has no exceptional talent. He knows it's true too. That's why he's too cowardly to even talk to me beyond a single message and an "I will not respond further." Weak! This is your hero. The man you defend? What does that say about you?

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

Hey, a few quick question: What is the subject of this video? Therefore, what is the underlying context of his comment? Is it "unhinged" behavior to bring the conversation back on track? What does the amount of time I spend thinking about Prusa have to do with the arguement? Obviously I have to prepare to face the hoard of true believers in the Cult of Prusa. Like yourself. You are disparaging me for doing my job by saying Prusa is living rent free in my head. That accusation betrays you. You aren't here arguing trying to ascertain truth. You are here because you want it to be a competition. You just want Prusa to "win" by making it appear as if I am obsessed. You don't see right and wrong. You only see winners and losers. It is truly evil without exaggeration to disguise an attack as an expression of goodwill. Disagreeing with me is one thing. but it's a whole other level when you want to convince me that my observations are not reality. That's called gaslighting. To tell me that you are tying to help me when you are in fact trying to cause me to question truthful reality is insidious. You are behaving as an aggressive monster who wishes to cause the opposite of "help." You wish to destroy my mind so that these valid criticisms which cause such cognitive dissonance can be dismissed as the ravings of a lunatic. Unfortunately for you I am perfectly sane.

[@FunnyPhisto]

@@DesignPrototypeTest Hey Matthew, first off I want to say I am not a native speaker so maybe "witty" was the wrong word but looking it up it still seems to be the right word but I should have put it in quotes to make my intended meaning clear. To be clear I was expecting a response in which you try to come off as super intelligent by making fun of me / belittle me. (Which you did, bravo.) Maybe you can help me with the right expression there idk. Secondly for someone hating assumptions without ground/knowledge you sure seem to love to make them yourself. And you might be surprised but I thought for myself when I read the comments thats when I got worried about you and not because of the comments but because of your answers and since everyone writing a comment being only slightly critical gets those really long rambling responses in which you prop yourself up and belittle the commenters by pseudo intellectually asking rhetorical questions all the time. But hey as far as I know you might be a gpt bot so why am I even taking this seriously. The world is not real and everyone is trying to gaslight and manipulate you. I was in a Prusa factory tour once and I saw Jo Prusa sitting at a desk programming KZbin comment bots, when he noticed me he tried to hide it but we both know it's true. (Disclaimer: I was never in a Prusa factory tour) Now back to the serious topic: I don't know what Josef Prusa or his products have to do with my comment but it proves my point but everyone could already see that in your initial response to Prusa in the video. Mind you I am in no way an expert but seeing the traits you display to your viewers you seem to be what you think Prusa is: A narcissist. And a trait of narcissists? They often accuse others around them of being one. And you show other traits of a narcissist. You obviously require excessive admiration (for the probe thing), you rate your importance very high, you show a lack of empathy for the family of Sanjay (because you are entitled to know the anwers (which is another trait of a narcissist)) and you behave in an arrogant manner to your viewers (in the comments) and to Prusa in this video as well. There might be more idk because I lack the "data" on that. But I will stop trying to "help" you because honestly you already have enough people trying that and I think as long as your inner family does not intervene or something bad happens you will not go to therapy so I might as well do something different with my energy.

[@OwenWithAHammer]

It's called the Prusa Caster because, Prusa is a well established brand with a generally positive image (Prusa's image has been worsening over the years, but the general audience continues to respect the brand). As that person said, it's not called "Jimmy Office", it's called Microsoft Office because selling a product under a well known and respected brand will increase its adoption. It seems as though you attribute this to narcissism instead of marketing, which seems absurd to me. Clearly the primary motivation behind the utilization of Prusas name for the caster is marketing, you can argue the naming of the brand itself was narcissistic, but any individual product after the brands establishment cannot.

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

[@SixOThree]

I feel like there was gaslighting around the whole MMU2 thing. What I have come to learn is that the MMU2 has a serious design flaw that prevents it from operating properly. The number of guides and support messages suggesting that it's the user who is at fault is astounding. Did you adjust this properly. Did you tune the alignment properly. Clean this. Adjust that. Never once did I see "our product has a serious design flaw". The MMU3 comes with this little driver board. If you put that board into an MMU2, it will operate 100% normally. I can't tell you how many hours I put into getting this device working properly. And all it needed was a little power board. And Prusa has known, at least for as long as the MMU3 has been in development. I replaced the circuit board. I replaced the servos. I replaced the data and power wires. But the _only_ thing that fixed it was that $20 driver board. All it needed was this one little thing. I spent hundreds of dollars replacing parts in an attempt to fix this thing. I cannot tell you how annoyed and angry I am with this thing. Prusa sold me a product that didn't work. I'm so done with anything Prusa related. I will _never_ buy anything with the Prusa name on it.

[@MrKornnugget]

Unlike this video, this is a fair criticism of PRUSA based on facts. The MMU3 is a fixed version of the MMU2. It doesn't even add any new functionality. They should have at least sent out free kits to MMU2 users to get them to MM3 instead of charging $90.00 to get a kit.

[@rin6521]

Jesus man.... I quit watching you a while ago, not because you called me a "sock puppet" in the comments for making a perfectly reasonable critique, but honestly, just because this is all so tedious. I have never cared about Prusa as a company, or as a man, what I did care about though, is an honestly brilliant creator and thinker that was wasting his time and hurting himself over petty beef. It's been a while since then, I was hoping to check back in on your channel soon, hoping you were doing more interesting things than perpetuating this silliness, but alas... You popped up in my feed today... still fixated on this nonsense. A quick look at your channel page tells me all I need to know. Your exchange with Prusa reveals that you are certainly aware that this crap has killed your channel, not for the shadowy cabal/conspiratorial reasons you think it is though... It's because it's goddamn boring for people who liked your core content. I sincerely hope you jettison this topic soon, and get back to the things that make you so interesting soon. Your other videos can be so good, and deserve so much more exposure to people, but they will never get it if you never let this crap go. Prusa isn't even the leader in the market anymore man... Seriously. Oh, and you owe all the people you have accused of being Prusa shills/spies/plants/bullies and sock puppets over the years an apology. That shit was absolutely unhinged.

​@@DesignPrototypeTest I'm not experiencing "cognitive dissonance" just because I'm not interested in analyzing this whole situation. It's petty, and uninteresting, and centered around a man and a company that have been almost completely eclipsed in the market anyway... Yet you insist to persist with it. There is absolutely no reason why a conclusion to a conflict that happened over half a decade ago, between 2 men on opposite sides of the ocean needs to be "addressed" in order for you to make the stuff that you are so great at doing, and that your fans want to see from you. There is zero reason why this situation should "create a negative environment" for you at home, 10,000 miles away from him, surely you must see this... but you have let yourself become fixated on this, you refuse to let it go... to your great detriment. Notice... I didn't say "to the channel's" great detriment this time, though that is true as well. What I'm saying is there's exactly one person with the ability to turn your atmosphere more positive, he's the same person who perpetuates the negativity, that person is not Josef Prusa. Also, I've taken a moment to peruse the comments, it's clear as day that I'm not alone on this. So many of us want to see you do well, and this just isn't the way.

I know it is probably hard to ignore Prusa when you are deep into 3D printing culture. You definitely make good 3D printing videos so I look forward to those.

I watch all your vidios and apsolutly love those where you bring design flaws, suggest solutions, introduse new designs etc. You are sole reason why I bought Duet motherboard for my first selfbuilt corexy, looking how you are so in love with that motherboard. Now what I want to suggest is to just go back to making those type of videos and make us happy and thrilled about technology and forget about Prusa and what they are doing if you think (and I agree) they are doing it wrong. Just stop paying attention to them and do what you love to do. If you are glue to their community and you know that, just stop being that force and maybe they will dissolve😂 😂

[@Ken784-ml4qf]

i do appreciate your point of view and even if my buisness it's based on Prusa machines (and i've always been a "fan" of theyr work and the reliable of the printers) it's totally evident that they fail HARD in a lot of situation. They slept hard on theyr success and this happen when people think "it's done, i'm the boss, no one can bother me" and often you'll find your self crying on the time lost. I've wait 2 years for my Prusa XL and the printer had a terrible problem that they could not solve. I did solve it by my self but i needed a spare parts i pretend to be on worranty and they did not want to help me till the very last moment. I spent MONTH of chat and email to get the spare part and guess what? now the XL work. This is just an example of how thay are not as good as a lot of people think they are.

[@brianhutchinson7863]

Mine will be perhaps the 111th comment here and out of those other 110 people I am one of maybe I'm guessing a handful of people who have actually met you. I met you before you're youtube channel. I thought you were a really cool guy being that you knew of my homelessness but still treated me with comradery. That was really nice. Then with the "legal drama" that was I had been made a part of you decided that you needed to distance from me. That sucked but I to a large degree understood. I may have done the same thing. I've been through more 'legal drama" since then. If anyone has a reason to feel attacked it is me because I have been quite literally. I've got an issue with my spinal cord now from getting beaten by a couple security guards and sheriffs in Southern Oregon. I just got MRI results back and there is an anomaly in my spinal cord. Im currently being charged with evading/eluding arrest when the same sheriffs department wanted to stop me heading home from a maker space and work one night late last year. I know to you these issues seem really bad and to you they are and to a degree I think they are too but in comparison dude... To what Ive been through since we met... I'm not into taking sides but if I was I would side with you. At first appearance Josephs messages definitely have a subjective "feel" to them. No I'm not an "accredited" psychologist but as you said everyone is a bit of a sociopath everyone is also a bit of a psychologist. I understand that someone suggesting another person needs or should get therapy can definitely come off as condescending if not being actually. Despite what Ive been through I have not sought out a psychologist for my own feeling of wellbeing. Maybe I should. I'm definitely a sufferer of post tramatic stress and all sorts of psychological, physiological and psociological crap. Mostly I would like to have a "community" that would support me and offer me protection essentially unconditionally which would be far better than sitting on a couch talking to one guy for an hour about the last terrible thing that happened waiting for the next terrible thing. I said that if I was the type to choose sides (in a realistic way) (in spirit) I do side with you. However I would not be of any real brotherhood or real camaraderie if I wasn't to bring to you're attention where I see a real issue with you're communication. Communication that concerns me and you're subscribers at least. Now let me premise by saying that I understand that you're communication with Joseph was perhaps outside of the emotional scope of consideration for all of us. A sort of personal or one on one tunnel vision. I get that and that you didn't mean a thing you wrote in outside of that context/emotional/realm of interaction (the back and forth on X with Joseph) That "thing" what you wrote was along the lines of... "I could have been 10 times the KZbinr I am if I had felt loved and rewarded for what I do." Damn man! I don't think you or anyone else for that matter can understand how that comes across to me. How I personally relate to you saying that. If you can give that a little thought. As I said I see it as much likely a different context but could be viewed about as the most alienating thing possible you could say about being on KZbin. The other stuff speculating about a drug overdose, accusations of mental health, man screw all of that. I would like to think its not worth you're time, my time, or anyone elses. It'll take a while to get away from the status quo of the past if I'm lucky, if you're lucky. You mentioned the "phenomenon" of being a witch in a witch hunt or a target. If you're not one of the community. Being that you're already "unpopular" maybe you wouldn't mind reconnecting with a likewise controversial character. I could possibly get personal investment money if I have a person that has a record of success working with me. I have the best in ability of being able to "connect dots" that likely most people don't even see "mechanical thinking" "intuitive engineering" (a broad view). You have a better understanding of execution, process timelines, electronics, programming a (focused view). We could make a great team. Get back to the sort of work that you're channels namesake is about. Consider that Joseph Prusa offered you a Factory Tour. Maybe that is ego. Maybe that is an offer of what is most valuable to him a thing he is proud of without it being ego. Maybe kinda like me offering/asking to collaborate/work with you. I've been through a lot and don't have much. My brain is the most important thing I have at this point and I'm offering to use its ideas to do cool stuff. I'm already gaslighted into thinking I'm guilt tripping you into working with me and maybe in some way thats outside me thats whats happening. IDK. I just want to make cool stuff. You want to make cool stuff too?

[@malloot9224]

Hey DPT, hope you are ok, the community should not have ingored your contributions, they should have embraced you and shown wisdom and understanding from the start. Becuase they did not you were pushed into a corner and have been lashing our at them for years, and i fully understand why. I have done this in the past as well, when powerfull people were wrong i went in a straight line against them and showed them they were wrong, it felt great, untill it never really worked. Our group mentality is too strong, and most people will never attack a strong target, nor support someone who does, so in the end i was always wrong, not becuase of what i said but how it came across and how direct it was. I had an amazing grandmother, she thought me that sometimes the best way is not to go straight for them, you go around, you are friendly to your opposition in order to gain trust, amazed at how great they are, and only then, you hint at what they might be doing wrong, in such a way that they sort of feel it was their own idea, and then quickly remind them it was you who told them to look there. I think you should lay low on the drama a few years, just nothing about this subject and make good posts on what you are making like you always also do, maybe even a new channel, this might give you a chance to come back and sort of get respect again, if thats what you want of course. All the best man! PS: 3dprintingnerd review of the prusa XL was the most blatent friendly/paid review i have every seen, that shit was funny but i was crying inside, and Joel did some nasty reviews in the past that werent deserved to people he did not know and probably destroyed their carreers (ender 7 for example, shit machine but they didnt deserve that). He could have pulled out that mode on the XL as well...

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

The world is diverse. Prusa's "The Community" is full of such people as you describe. They rely on me to do my job so that they can do their job. Many of them attack me publicly while talking to me privately. There is lots of information I never reveal because I don't want to be predictable. Despite appearances, I've been half-assing this whole thing. As to the notion that I can't win, I believe that I already have. I think I've caused more financial damage to Prusa (by shining a light on the bad behavior) than he gained from my contribution. So the rest of this is just gravy. Anyway, I'm pretty much irrelevant to the real game. Bambu Lab is the death knell for Prusa. Prusa will never compete with that level of professional engineering. It's like GM saying they can make an EV to rival Tesla. It's never going to happen. Out with the old, in with the new. Perhaps there is some profitable little corner of the market for Prusa to retreat into, but the company will never again be anything close to dominant.

[@spyrit35]

You know... I have a favorite brand - Creality of all brands LOL. I think I'm just appreciative of them starting the "good cheap printer that you can upgrade at your own pace" thing... this is a hobby after all, there used to be more of these, like model making and soap box car racing, radios etc.... but last week when I wanted a big printer, I got an Anycubic Kobra Max (for similar reasons). I will admit, I've never even considered getting a Prusa, theyre just overpriced for what they are and I don't get Voron either, but to each his own, I just won't buy a printer for the hype (Bambu deserves the hype imo)... feuds in the community are unproductive.

By the way, I care very little for credit anymore. What I care deeply about, the reason I have fought Prusa for the last 6 years is the injustice. It's highly likely I helped him. Instead of receiving a "thank you" I am the villain of "The Community." Everywhere you go if you mention my channel name you will hear insults and terrible character assassination. RMRRF has banned me. They decided that I was to be unliked and Josef was to be loved. I tried to contribute positively and I was met with HATE. Meanwhile, Josef shows actual behaviors of Sadism, and Psychopathy, and Narcissism but "the community" continues to support him. This is backwards world. Me being recognized would right the injustice but Josef falling from grace would also accomplish similar. I think I will never be recognized. So there is only one avenue for justice and I think that we are headed down that road. I'm sure I'm not Josef's only victim. I hope that the others will take their opportunity and speak out against him or fight him in whatever environment they can.

Is it possible that you are conflating this ancillary skill with the condition itself? The diagnostics and statistics manual provides a list of criteria for diagnosing autism. Looking at those criteria, does it still seem like I fit the bill? Please entertain this notion for a moment: I am correct about Josef Prusa. Like, so many powerful men who have come before him. His dark triad personality allows him to build an organization beneath him.

❤ 2/2 . Sanjay suffered from some illness that left him in serious pain . After his interviews he had to lay down . There is a video explaining this, by himself . But it's none of our business about his personal life. It's ridiculous just to go to the lowest forms of accusations . Maybe try and reach out for the medical issues he had . It's absolutely bad taste at best . One can argue you have a bipolar disorder because every few months you start going off the rails

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

You are wrong about Sanjay. Period. End of story. It is perfectly acceptable to ask how he died. ESPECIALLY if they want us to be motivated by his death. See, you are assuming the best. You are referencing some vague thing you remember without providing any source. You want to believe. They have you captured. You will send them money, attend their "charity" event and GET THIS!!! You will go on the internet and accuse someone of being a bad person with a mental disorder because they are asking for some information. Pathetic. I'll go off the rails any day. Just dare me. I'm ready to go. Just say the word. I seethe with a boiling resentment that stems from 6 years of abuse and mistreatment at the hands of "tHe ComMuNIty." Your club is full of bad people in support of an even worse one. They have Doxed me and hacked me. The minute I start to get some traction online people like you come out of the woodwork to tear me down. If I ever cared about Sanjay this pushback from your ilk makes me not. See you are so fixated on feeling some emotional drivel about a dead guy that you are happy to join in with the mob doing damage to this guy who is still alive. F-ed up priorities from a mob that prides itself on having an intellectual hobby while actually being driven by unthinking emotionality. Let's not forget how far your f-ed up team will take this. THEY ALLOW A CONVICTED PEDOPHILE to display a booth at the RMRRF while they have banned me for some unclarified vague "safety" reason. So they can forgive a pedophile for fornicating with a child and allow him to interact with many other minors at their event but they can't forgive me for DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG.

For the record you are the one bringing up anything about Sanjay's contributions. I never said anything bad about the man. I merely want to know how he died. Now that he is gone, his brand is in the hands of other people who we know nothing about. They are using that brand and your fondness toward the dead man so that they can profit. This has nothing to do with Sanjay really. He's not here anymore. I'm not even criticizing him. I'm putting pressure on those who continue to use his good name to profit. I don't think your worldview can accommodate right and wrong. All you understand is winners and losers. You feel insecure in our conversation so you retreat to the safety of arguments akin to "You are wrong because Sanjay contributed more (winner) to ThE COmMunItY than you (loser) have." But you didn't say me. You said "than any of us." Which is just an absurd claim. The engineer behind Slice Engineering Mosquito and even Copperhead introduced more significant hot end innovations than Sanjay. There is a guy names Johan Roholl who designed the Kossel printer. He is the first guy to make a Delta 3D printer. That's a better contribution than anything Sanjay can claim. The list goes on and on. I know you didn't think about those words before you said them. You mean to compare Sanjay to me but then thought better of it. So if these guys have better contributions why aren't they EMOTIONALLY perceived the same as Sanjay? Why don't they benefit from the runaway love and admiration from tHE cOMmuNiTy like Sanjay did? It's like I said before this is just unthinking emotionality speaking. You aren't using reasoning to craft you arguements before you say them. You are feeling an emotion that leads to an arguement and then you are using your reasoning to justify that emotional claim. But why do you feel that emotion? Because everyone else in thE CoMmUnITy feels it. Why does everyone feel them? Could this be politically manipulated emotionality proliferated by the companies are were profiting? You know, Prusa and E3D? Surely those companies don't have a large following which enables them to manipulate perceptions. Do you realize that I have more people BLOCKING me on X (not muting) than I have followers? How does that happen? It happens because tHE comMuNItY has demonized me and run a negative publicity campaign to cancel/destroy me. They mobilized more people to attack my account than the algorithm could generate to follow me. Imagine if I had the love instead of the hate. How much more successful I would have been. DON'T BLAME ME saying I should "do better." Every time I do fantastic work and it starts to gain traction I get haters appearing to tear me down and lessen my win. I'm performing but your emotionality won't allow you to acknowledge it. ThE cOMmuNITy won't let me win. I made you all feel bad about something you wanted to love so I'm not allowed to succeed. Downvote on sight. Talk about "That guy" in discord servers. Accuse him of being bipolar and tell him to "get help." Because it must be him that is the problem. You said "From what I can see..." which means you don't believe me because you don't see all the sneaky s#i+. How about this: doxbin.com/upload/designprototypetestakaMatthewPunamJensenDOX What if I show you the mountain of screenshots of personal attacks against my character would that change your mind? I doubt it. Because you don't obey logic. You obey your emotions and your emotions are telling you to love Sanjay. Anyone who threatens that must be bad when I'm actually the good guy.

There's issues with Prusa yes, but I'll take him over Elon Musk who's the embodiment of all of Prusa's faults/ short comings. I don't believe in exploiting someone who's passed and can't give their side to further a narrative. If you feel Sanjay is being taken advantage of it's one of those things where there isn't enough information and goes into speculative which causes more hurt than anything else. Saying what you believe to be the cause of Sanjay's Passing is uncalled for and is hurtful to his loved ones. If you passed and your family had to hear people say "HE PASSED BECAUSE HE TOOK TOO MUCH OF THE SAUCE" how would you think your family feel regardless of it being true or not? I think that's what Prusa has an issue with and I respect that. Prusa's community could be proven toxic but the lengths you go to prove that I feel goes too far and repetitive. I could say Prusa is an a-hole and go on my day and probably still be allowed to go to conventions and events that Prusa is involved with. I now feel like you take Prusa's existence as a knock against you and you're trying your best to turn the tides and honestly that's sad. The other sad thing is you're doing Prusa's work from him to ruin your reputation. If a dude made a community hate me despite doing my best to make a positive impact in that community I'd wear it with a badge of honor because the hardest critic is myself and if I'm pleased nothing else matters. You need to be your own critic and not care what others think because you're smart and if you took all of that energy and poured it into something positive Prusa would be a thing of the past but I think that might be too late. I really hope you do some self reflection and put people first before saying something that could hurt others. I disavow any toxic behavior because it's not healthy for anyone. I disavow the toxic behavior of the Prusa community and I disavow the exploitation of anyone's death and that goes for what you've done and what you believe others have done. You're willing to exploit Sanjay's passing because of what someone else did? That's really messed up. Your vendetta is toxic and you're posting all the proof. You are proving all of your haters right time after time and I cannot defend this. You can't justify a horrible act because someone did a horrible act to you ESPECIALLY when they weren't the one to cause the initial horrible act! You lack human empathy because you feel no one has empathy for you and that's how villains are made.

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

The ego that surrounds Prusa is unbelievable. Joseph isn't even in the same class of rich person as Elonn let alone all the other things. Josef dropped out of an undergrad at a nosebleed university in the Czech Republic. Elon Musk dropped out of a PhD program at Stanford. You know one of the most prestigious universities in the world and the place where all of the tech money in the United States comes from. Joseph has one business that's now failing. How many companies has Elon been responsible for? Everything Elon touches is made of gold because he's good at what he does. Josef's skill is debatable. Everything of value in his company is something that somebody else came up with and he appropriated. Elon haters are going to hate. There's nothing I can do about that. But to compare Joseph Prusa to Elon Musk in any regard is so ridiculous It's just pure comedy.

Joseph Prusa is no longer important to anything within everyday 3d printing. To even bother about him and “the community” that he has driven is slowly fading away. The Prusa XL and the MK4 are the death throws of a fading company. There are smarter, better quality and faster developers out there at the moment. You can tell that there’s an issue with prusa users by the number of people dumping prusa printers onto the second hand market, I saw someone selling 4 prusa XL printers new in box as they have changed their mind and bought Bambu lab P1S printers. They sat for weeks and he dropped the price by £700 each and still no one wanted them. This is because people prefer Bambu lab even though Bambu lab may be the devil, they make user friendly printers. The Bambu A1 is the best starter printer available right now, no one outside the prusa fan boys even consider recommending a prusa printer these days. 3 years ago everyone was prusa mad now it’s a different world and you must be mad to buy a prusa.

To your audience you come off as presumptuous and speaking from a place of counterproductive pride and empty posturing. I belive this is a common issue with individuals biased towards logical thought patterns, and is why intellectual minded people are often stereotyped as snobby assholes.

"I don't care about Josef Prusa but you suck because.." You are a walking contradiction who lacks the self awareness to realize it. You deny Prusa so that you can appear impartial as if your reasoning is untethered from emotionality and team identity. But you feel an undeniable desire to attack my character and make me look weak by calling me a victim. Why must my character have anything to do with this? I don't matter. I'm just a nameless critic speaking truth to power. In your worldview there is no objective, impartial viewpoint. There is only winners and losers. You attack my person because you want to be on the side that's winning. But you know that acknowledging being on that side means you have to defend Prusa which would cause you to lose the conversation. Can't have that. Don't want to be a loser. So the easy answer is just to declare that you are not a part of the winning team. You just support the winning team in the game. But you are playing the game. And you are playing it for that team.

To alleviate this feeling of sadness they are asking for you to support the foundation. This is low grade emotional blackmail. Sanjay was not a martyr. Sanjay obviously died in a shameful way. If revealed it would negatively affect support for the foundation. There is no other explanation for withholding his cause of death and vehemently attacking against anyone who dares to ask the perfectly sensible question. "How did he die?" 2) Obviously, nobody wants to inflict further pain upon the family. BUT Their son/brother/husband is already dead. You and I had nothing to do with it. Denying us that information isn't preventing them from further emotional distress. It's just causing us confusion. 3) I made no allegations. I SPECULATED as to the cause of his death and gave my best guess. If they just revealed the information none of us would need to speculate. WHY ARE THEY HIDING THIS? 4) What makes anyone think the family saw my video or read my words? It didn't get a lot of viewership. I have a small channel after all. If they want to avoid emotional distress over the death of their son it's probably a good idea not to go scouring the internet where people will obviously be speculating about the information being denied to them. He was a public figure who's death was announced in an extremely public fashioin. Then they threw a big gathering in his name and created a foundation in his name. They have no right to expect privacy on this issue. They certainly don't have the right to censor our speech about the subject. There is no moral or legal obligation of any sort.

We are hot plastic machine enthusiasts not drama KZbin. Leave the multi million dollar company alone and focus on making good content. Ur schizophrenic rants are not helping you and arguing with people in the comments isn’t. Make videos about printers jeez

Who are you? It's funny how close you guys are getting to self-awareness. You started off this comment sounding so avuncular. but of course by the end of it it was design. Prototype test is a bad person. He talks about a dead man. He's got a one-sided feud with Prusa. In my defense It's not one-sided. It's just that. Prusa attacks me through anonymous avatars. Are they sock puppets or just fanboys? We don't know. But I am attacked far more than I punch back. And the funny thing about San Jay is that they want us to talk about him. They don't want him to be forgotten. They make money that way. So I'm not the only one talking about him. The difference is I am talking about the thing they don't want us to know. The shameful that of information. So it's not about talking about a dead guy. It's about keeping us ignorant and in the dark. Which I refuse to be. Once again, I'm not the bad guy. I can hear it. In your words, you can almost see the truth. Let go of your emotionality. Disabuse yourself of the feeling that " the community" is an enlightened group full of goodness. Once you take off those rose colored glasses you will be able to see reality as it actually exists.

@@DesignPrototypeTest not everyone that criticizes you is a anonymous prusa sock puppet maybe they are just criticizing you. I personally never owned and probably never will own a prusa machine. I just know what you said about a dead man is disrespectful. Even if he died in a shameful way like you theorized it’s not our business. I didn’t know Sanjay nor did you so let’s not make baseless theories. I don’t think ur a bad person but I think you are obsessed frankly I used to think ur prusa content was funny and entertaining but now it honestly comes off obsessive and tired. Like bro bambu lab printers just had a recall and no video on that 😂

@@DesignPrototypeTestI’m not some prusa sock puppet I don’t own a prusa nor have I ever wanted own I just see what you did as disrespectful, ur beef with prusa is very much one sided why not cover a actual important issue in 3d printing like bambu lab and it’s recalls/ possible data collection. That company will be infinitely more negative than ur war ur fighting with “the community” even if ur right about what ur saying(which I doubt) you need to cover the bigger problems

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

So much of this comment was believable, then you showed your bias with "Like bro bambu lab printers just had a recall and no video on that." You don't actually watch my videos do you? I made one video about the Bambu Lab Printer kzbin.info/www/bejne/laqafphtbryArdU . In that video I criticized the Shattering Glass door problem BEFORE Uncle Jesse had that issue. Also, I was the first to raise the alarm about printing through the cloud. I even went to so far as to call it "Bullshit." So don't give me this biased hateful line that I don't criticize everyone fairly. I criticize better than anyone else who makes videos about 3D printing, and I do it with equal opportunity. You know what the real difference BL and Prusa is? When I criticize BL I don't get any push back. I made fair points and they are acknowledged as such so nobody hates me for doing my job. When I criticize Prusa I get droves of comments like yours questioning my character. WTF is wrong with you that you have to break me down and insinuate that I have moral failings because I criticized something you love. This is religious/cult behavior. "I don't love Prusa. I don't even own a Prusa." Uh huh. Well all of your friends must own one and you think you are an honorary member of the club or something because you clearly are suffering from the same virus of the mind. Now, IT ABSOLUTELY IS MY BUSINESS and yours as well how Sanjay died. They made it our business when they started a charity in his name then PUBLICLY went across the internet IN HIS NAME drumming up publicity. They absolutely want us to talk about Sanjay. They just want to CONTROL the narrative so that we don't talk about the thing which will be bad publicity and affect their profitability. This isn't Sanjay (the dead guy doing this) This is people who are alive and knew him that are using his legacy for personal enrichment. Get over yourself and your pathetic, fake moral outrage. Finally, in your next comment you said "you need to cover the bigger problems." The most powerful player in "the community" is probably a Dark Triad personality. He displays Sadism (he enjoys it when other people feel pain as I illustrated here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmOVh6eFh7Zqb6csi=N9TIl21nrOUJIfLt&t=2071 ), Narcissism, and Machiavellianism but NOBODY ELSE TALKS ABOUT IT because they are too afraid of the repercussions which I suffer. You don't think having such a questionable man as the leader is a big enough problem to talk about? Tell me. What is more important? A Chinese company standing behind their product by issuing a recall THAT EVERYONE IS ALREADY TALKING ABOUT? Yeah your priorities are... not in order.

You guys got too much time on your hands.

Prusa must be worried. Afaik, he's not originated anything, but has successfully marketed stuffed pulled from open source and other inventors, and ceated a fan base. Now Bambu has pushed the frontier far beyond what Prusa can achieve at a low cost, and a few other manufacturers playing catch up, but so far, not Prusa. He needs all the friends he can get, in order to stay relavent over the next few years. His expensive latest release is no use, other than trying to print pretty stuff, with limited materials, slowly and poorly. How many years has he been failing in reliably automatically changing filament colours? Anyway, nothing wrong in what you say, but folk from differant cultural backgrounds do not understand. Shoot the messenger, not the message, is often their standard.

I was actually going to title this video "I Talked to Josef and nobody cares." Then I decided not to self sabotage. Anyway, some people do care. Even enough to leave a comment.
