[@vlx4242]

Hi, I still remember the days when you were diving into topics like 3D printing from an engineer's perspective, which genuinely made me subscribe to your channel. Your journey into a vendetta or battle with others online recently has, frankly, impacted your reputation. It might have been more beneficial to maintain professionalism rather than turning it into a personal conflict. Honestly, it's likely that the other party doesn't recall if an idea originated from you or elsewhere. Innovation rarely springs from a single mind alone, and being the first isn't always paramount - look at Apple, for example. This ongoing personal attack, however, risks damaging your channel further and alienating your audience. I hope you can move on, refocus on what you do best, and thereby grow your following again. It's never too late to reinvent yourself, regroup, and rediscover the joy in your projects. Dwelling on the past won't change it.

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

Sometimes man, the technical project can't happen because the human aspects behind it do not support it happening. Also, sometimes, the one who is being picked on/bullied gets the most angry and their "emotional outbursts" make them seem like the problem. Why does the critical drinker appeal to you but this type of video by me is abhorrent?

[@vlx4242]

@@DesignPrototypeTest I think as a public person, you'll always be targeted by hateful comments and bullying-that's the unfortunate nature of the internet. Regarding the issue with RMRRF, perhaps a smarter move would have been to request an appeal or something similar before going public with it. To be honest, I don't know what RMRRF is, and I don't care; it's some US thing I'm not attending anyway. And about why I watch The Critical Drinker, while I don't share all his views on many topics, he has made some good videos addressing the weak writing in Hollywood these days. It's very much like how you critique some engineering decisions, but it's more on a professional level and target a specific person. I think videos like the one from today just sadden me because you're not gaining anything from it, and I would much rather see something where I learn something, more like the content you had in the past.

[@jtreg]

[@ljadf]

I, too, wish that we didn't have to highlight bullying where we find it. That doesn't mean it's not justified to do so. Quietly pretending it's not happening leads to depression, anxiety, and sometimes suicide due to the cognitive dissonance of living with being called a pariah, everyone agreeing that you are, but no one providing evidence of it. I personally think it's brave to use your channel, and risk losing subscribers and money to highlight unjust behaviour. The message I imagine people are trying to convey in this thread is 'we're engineers or hobbyists interested in 3d printing, and have no interest in psychology or politics'. While I absolutely share this view, I'm not going to attempt to silence people who highlight bullying or manipulation in any way. If I didn't want to watch this video I had ample time to move on to the next one.

I've only watch 2 videos of yours, this and the BTT filament sensor video. I found that video interesting enough to explore your content, but this video raised all kinds of red flags. I'm not trying to disrespect you, but this is textbook harassment. Joseph might be a "big boy that can handle it", but please consider your actions had the subject been someone else, someone without a public persona. Don't let a spat poison your efforts.

It's so funny that you all are so bad at manipulation. "I'm not trying to manipulate you man. You need to get help. I'm just a guy who sees you acting crazy." I'm not convinced. Given all the things I can observe the facts line up with either sock puppetry or just cultish groupthink of individuals. Either way, I would not be the problem. None of you have managed to make compelling arguments to convince me otherwise. To influence a thoughtful person you must acknowledge the counterpoints. You have been trying to get into my head using "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" reasoning. You won't acknowledge or concede even a single inch because for you there is no doubt allowed. I am 100% wrong and your team is 100% right. But the world doesn't work like that. I (DPT) am a reasonable person and I know that the world is a shade of grey. So I am operating on "preponderance of the evidence." Your absolutism is a bright shining sign that tells me to ignore anything you say. And no, starting your comment with "I don't own a Prusa but..." or "I'm not defending Josef but..." doesn't count. If you want to convince me then tell me honest and hard hitting reasons why Prusa sucks. THEN show me how the opposite reasons mean more. Do you see? Do you understand? I am currently answering your extremism in kind. You are unwilling to acknowledge even the smallest fault in your team. "It's not my team. I don't care about Prusa. I'm just here to talk about your crazy behavior DPT." Then tell me something which is seriously wrong with Prusa so I can perceive of you as a reasonable and trustworthy human being who is advocating for truth and not just manipulating to the advantage of their team.

It’s easy to diagnose just about anyone with NPD by selecting instances of misbehavior and painting that picture. Even psychologically normal people can occasionally act and behave in those ways. To actually make a diagnosis, you need to have a lot more information than you have. Regardless, so what if he does have NPD? Are you gonna spend the rest of your life trying to convince people of that fact? What purpose does this serve? I would just move on from this whole saga. I can’t imagine that fixating on this helps you in your work life or family life, for instance.

It's especially easy when it's the truth. Tell me, how do you feel about the sadism? I noticed that you were conspicuously quiet about that. BTW Thank you for your concern about my family life. You must be a really good person. It sounds like you really care about me.

[@nonchalanto]

@@DesignPrototypeTestWhy the hostility to me? If you read through my comment again you’ll see I wasn’t trying to insult you anywhere in it. Nor was I trying to virtue signal about some deep altruistic concern for you. I was arguing that this 6-year feud is unlikely to be helpful to you, and I think that’s almost certainly true, as I can’t imagine anyone who would feel good in that position. About the sadism part, I wasn’t being intentionally silent about it-I didn’t go through all the features you listed. But to be honest, I didn’t really understand your description of what supposedly happened during that podcast. How did he cause this other guy pain? That’s a legitimate question, I truly have no idea what went on in that podcast or what was being said. So until I have a better understanding of what he was laughing at, or why he was trying to wipe the smile off his face, it doesn’t strike me as sadistic behavior.

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

So attention to detail isn't really your thing. Either er than that or you just don't want to admit that he is sadistic. If you don't understand, my say doesn't argument. I already addressed how you could get more information in the video. Why the hostility? Imagine if a suspicious and dangerous man came up to you in public Just after you parked your automobile. Then he said to you " That's a nice looking car right there. Would be a real shame if something were to happen to it." We all know what he's actually saying. So what are you actually saying about my family?

[@nonchalanto]

@@DesignPrototypeTest Dude what in the actual f*ck… I wasn’t issuing a threat to you or your family AT ALL. Not even slightly. Also, notice how you automatically categorize anyone who disagrees with you about something as a “suspicious and dangerous” person? You’ve now insulted me, and I still never insulted you. I am actually a very attentive person, and I’m telling you-that segment where you “explain” his sadism gives absolutely zero information about what actually happened to a person who has no context. And sorry but I’m not going to watch the entire original podcast. I’m not sure why it’s so difficult to just explain what he did. I’ll be the first one to agree with you that he was being sadistic if I actually hear what he did.

They banned me 2 years before I made the "last few videos." So you are just wrong based on the immutable of law of time progression. Assuming the event organizers are clairvoyant and knew I was going to make those videos there was nothing said in those videos which would warrant this treatment. Making some vague reference to "a handful of reasons" in an attempt to besmirch my character is pure manipulation without substance. Tell the audience specifically why I live up to this idea of a boogie man you want me to be. You won't make specific allegations because nothing you say is defensible.

Why is there no acknowledgment from you about the terrible behavior from Josef Prusa? Why is the burden on me to stop talking about him while he is allowed to maintain his guerilla asymmetric war on my channel? You're not worried about me. You just want me to stop damaging Prusa. You are pretending to be my friend with your tone but you are actually attacking me. I don't know why you guys keep doing this. This tactic will not change my behavior. I suggest you start working on Josef if you actually want this type of video to stop. But that's not your real motivation is it? On that note, where were you When I was making that run of like seven videos which were nothing but technical 3D printing content for love of the hobby. Where were your comments then? Where were your up votes? Where did you share my video? You didn't. You just want to chastise me as if you have the moral high ground. You aren't my friend.

I watched your videos early on but drifted away because I just flitter from thing to thing. You had some "whining" videos back then too but I didn't mind because you seemed at least half correct on those rants (we're all idiots and can't be right all the time - my threshold for complaints to be "worth it" is 50%, and I did say AT LEAST half correct so read into that what you will) Your current videos seem more cynical, somewhat more bitter, you perceive the power-tripping on you to be more widespread, and the apparent lashing out reaches further degrees of separation. I love it! My observation - if there's one thing we've learned in the past decade, it's that the vast majority of people build their character and knowledge upon foundations of sand. I get a little weary of watching milk-toast 3D printing content. From the bulk of content, you'd think 90% of the 3D printer world is candy and magic. I, for one, find it refreshing that you point out what's behind OZ's curtain. Why can't a YT-er like you just be affectionately known as "the angry man" or whatever and still be considered equally relevant as the 50 other contenders who are pretty much putting out the same style rose-colored content. In fact, shy shouldn't the ONE guy who calls out more BS than the others combined be considered a valuable, much-needed check on incompetence and corruption in the 3D printer marketplace? Well the answer of course rests on my earlier comment that the vast majority of people are resting on weak foundations - this includes the movers & shakers as well as simple printer consumers & YT viewers. For the convention to ban you using the vague cliché' talking point they did simply exposes what they are. If they were the least bit creative, they could have at least dreamed up something much more novel and possibly even interesting! There's a ton of us angry men out here that are pretty FED UP with this fake, weak crap. The big 3D printer market players got in on the ground floor and it's a kind of natural law in new markets that once ideas become played out, they' just pull up the ladders best they can to keep new talent from getting a foothold. I mean, this just happens everywhere you look and I challenge anyone to point at ONE market more than 3 years old where this isn't the case. Anyways, just thought maybe you might get a kick out of hearing from someone who maybe sees things from a perspective closer to yours than the coddled neurotypicals. Nobody's perfect and you might be wrong much of the time maybe. But honestly, the world needs the suspicious, angry man. Otherwise, the sheep get steamrolled whether they realize it or not.

Although it's completely justified to be outraged by your treatment by them, it's perfectly usual in every business to expect it. 3. Releasing videos with the aim of pointing it out is useful for your own sense of justice and to warn people about what to expect when dealing with this type of person. 4. I had to force myself to listen to your explanation of why you advocate printing guns, it just so happens I agree with you, but like it or not, we live in a cancel culture, which means if there's a hint of wrongdoing, it will immediately be removed, rather than tolerated. It's important to recognise that tolerance is disappearing from society. 5. Recognise that you're someone who is morally and ethically clearly in the green, but your average CEO with borderline personality disorder has all the power, and is not afraid to use it to swat 'competition' away.

On of degrees is in "Digital Technology" Meaning 3Dprinters, Robotics and CNC machines as they relate to the design process. 2)The "caps" you mentions were equally inconsequential to the mounting of the filament holder. They were not mentioned in the manual. How do these two meaningless "mistakes" on my part indicate a lack of expertise in 3D printing or understanding of the machines? If they had included underwear in the box and I did not "install" the underwear on the machine would that also make you doubt my abilities? 3)I'm not an engineer but I do have an undergraduate degree in...drum roll please...PSYCHOLOGY!!! So, it's a bit more than a google search backing up my assertion that Josef is a Narcissist. But let's ignore the narcissism diagnosis and talk about the Sadism. Have you watched him scrub the smile off his face? Did you see what made him smile uncontrollably? It was making JBV creative feel unspecial. Josef felt serious joy at seeing the effect of his emotional insult on that innocent man. Josef likes to inflict pain. It's right there on camera. Undeniable. How come none of you Prusa fanboys will talk about that? Oh, I know why. It's because Design Prototype Test needs to "seek help." 4)"I grew up with a narcissistic father, so I know what to look for..." I don't believe you. AND that is not relevant. It's like me saying Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player ever so I know that Josef's leadership is not good for 3D printing. 5)"He is the founder and spokesperson for the company" and that's the core of it. You have hero worship. You want to revere and respect him, and you like the hierarchy as it exists. All of your words are to defend the status-quo. You don't disagree with the things I say because they are wrong. You disagree because the implication of me being right means that the hierarchy would be threatened. So you weakly refute my assertions. It doesn't matter that every point you made is more flawed than the things I originally said. To you the points have been addressed and therefore "put to bed" so the hierarchy can stand. Your worldview is safe. DPT is still the bad guy.

The only ones you believe, is the ones saying what you want to hear... Should your undergraduate in phycology impress me? 😂 "Have you watched him scrub the smile off his face" You read sadism out of that? This is the internet, you can say that you feel bad just to get some sympathy, but actually feel great. So welcome to the internet! It looked more like he was trying not to laugh at your comment on X. I have no hero worship, but you have...you are the hero you worship. I revere and respect a lot of people, especially the ones I follow on social medias. That´s why people follow other people on the social medias, that doesn´t meen that they have hero worship. I don't agree with everything Josef says, but I don´t bitch about it on youtube and talk shit. You put your self on a piedestal, like your the most important person in the world. Everyone is out after you, try to make you look bad. Stealing your ideas, stealing your thunder, stealing your topics and gets more views. And Josef is the narcissist? 🤣 I disagree because of you are behaving like an assole, that's it. Her you go: www.betterhelp.com/ I think ILTM have a discount code. I understand why you get banned...

I wish I had better opponents. You guys are so weak and you're all the same. Apparently I'm not supposed to call you NPCs because that's "cringe." You can't even admit that you're wrong over the smallest little things. So fragile that you can't concede a single inch. Hint: Nobody is right 100 % of the time.

[@paintballercali]

Weird how anything pro bambu or anti prusa gets this massive amount of backlash. It's almost like there is a level of organization behind it.

[@ShuhDonk]

You won't have to worry about Prusa much longer, my guess is their sales have probably already been cut in half or more since the Bambulab launch, their printers were good for awhile (although grossly overpriced) but they never revolutionized anything, they copied an open source design, made some refinements to it but never stepped up like Bambulab's have done and created which is probably the best 3d printer in the world for consumers and professionals at a very fair price. On a different subject I do wish you would let the Prusa crap go, your channel could really do well and the content was very good when you are not focused on the Prusa crap. Also, maybe speak to a lawyer about being banned, maybe you can sue them to get them to stop their bullsh*t, although I don't know the complete story from both sides, did you threaten someone in the past at all?

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

No. I never threatened anyone. I don't want to be fixated on Prusa anymore than you want. Did you notice that 3D printed ukulele project. Get some press and get plastered all across printables? It's been like 10 years since the first three printed violin project. There was a guy doing 3D printed ukuleles on thingiverse. He's still updates from time to time. I'm sure it's just pure coincidence that the real estate Prusa controls suddenly featured a 3D printed ukulele Right after I started working on mine. Josef would never throw his money sponsoring projects to compete with mine. He would never tell Barnacles to call every single printer manufacturer and filament maker telling them not to work with me. He would never sabotage my channel so that it's not worth my while to make this kind of content. Joseph is a stand-up guy. He doesn't play the guerilla asymmetric warfare game.

[@Schwift3D]

You can do your homework to see that I've stuck with you for the past 6 years (and I'm not unsubbing) but saying stuff like "I'm dominant over prusa" and bringing up that you still want a prusa printer is giving prusas followers more fuel to hate on you. Can see it now -( " he claims prusa is a narcissistic but he says stuff like - I'm dominant over prusa.) I respect your commitment but it's getting tiring to see mostly controversial vids on the channel lately. Problem is this has been happening for so long that when us actual fans say something you can't tell if we are sock puppets, or just fans who want to see innovative content. Know these vids aren't going to stop but can you at least upload a few technical vids in between? Still support you (and I hope we get some rv updates soon)

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

Josef Prusa is not dominant. He does not deserve his success and that is why it is all fading away now. He combined all the good ideas of everyone else into a cohesive printer and it was the best on the market for a brief period until the real engineers decided to actually get off their butts and do the job. He was always just a place holder waiting for the actual players to enter the game. I hope he hears this and knows the truth of those words in his heart. I earned the right to tell him to his face that I am dominant. I endured 6 years and thousands of guerilla attacks from a man who is too cowardly to even have a conversation with me. Even just his KZbin Channel is 6X larger than mine. This man is so much bigger than me but he doesn't face me. Instead he get's his supporters to ANONYMOUSLY take potshots and gets a (in)famous KZbinrs to slander me behind the scenes. Going to every single vendor, and event organizer telling them not to work with me. Instead of addressing my criticisms he waged a whisper campaign and got me cancelled. Are these the actions of a dominant man to you? Kind of sounds like behavior I would expect from a b!+ch. What you want from me (technical videos) is a separate issue. I'm capable of doing a great many things. I choose to spend my limited time in this life doing what is most valuable. Even without the negative effects of the Prusa supporters making my channel be less successful than its potential it is debatable if continuing to do 3D printer related videos on KZbin is worthwhile. I'm sorry I can't give you what you want. It's is too onerous and does not provide adequate reward to overcome that burden. I will continue to make content that I feel like making because I find it intrinsically rewarding. Luckily, I have a life circumstance where that luxury is afforded to me. I don't have to jump to please my audience. This is especially lucky because I doubt that even half of the feedback I receive is from legitimate audience members. Doing only what I feel like doing protects me from the manipulation.

[@Schwift3D]

First of all I never said or meant to imply that prusa was dominent, fk that guy. "everyone's a maker but only that man is a tool" - my own quote. I agree with the majority of your views on prusa. 2nd I was just expressing what I wanted to see as a viewer. Yer obviously free to do whatever you want man. But feels like yer basically saying "I don't get enough reward out of making technical videos so I'll do what I want, and your input isn't something I care about." I can see how years of abuse from people online can get under your skin and make you double down. But it feels like yer not even acknowledging your supporters when you say stuff like "the entire world is against me" we've stuck with you all this time and most of us aren't going anywhere. I know I'm not (again this is why it's hard to express as a fan how I feel without there being doubt about my intentions) not asking you to back off prusa. Just would be nice to see a 3D printing video sometimes. I respect you man 🤙

I believe that doing what is right by calling out devouring selfish behavior is far more important than creating a little edu-tainment. I believe your priorities are misplaced.

[@danielschultz2957]

Josef Prusa is the cancer of 3d printing, he took everything from the open source community called it "his" and gave nothing back; not even the MK4 is open source. Josef has lost the battle of capitalism and is now crying like a baby, that he stood still and the competition took over his market share. If it would go after him, he was the inventor of 3d printing, all are bad and idiots, but JOSEF PRUSA HIMSELF, the savior of 3d printing. Also buy his 150 dollar printer for 1000 dollars. If you plan to print in abs/asa in an environment 30°celsius you just voided your warranty as well ;) (spoiler, you just melted your prusa, which totally isnt a i3 copy or anything ripped of the reprap community.) Get Prusa banned or something, i hope a lawsuit catches him from the open source communnity.

[@johnecker]

You have a tail.

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

Hey John, I don't understand what this means. I see that you have some good bonafides regarding 3D printing. You work at Makerbot, you ran a Kickstarter campaign selling the original Prusa Mendel, and you launched a makerspace in San Diego. It also appears that you really like cosplay and Marvel. So, now that I know some things about you and I know that you aren't a bot maybe we could have a professional level conversation. Can you tell me what the tail comment means? What are you feelings about Prusa? Do you like or dislike the man and the company?

[@Happy3dprinting]

Joseph Prusa definitely has issues, but look at who he surrounds himself with on a daily basis. People who worship him, people who he controls via money and gifts and employees. As far as I understand a person who has no empathy for others is a sociopath, no idea is mr prusa a sociopath but he has an oversized ego based on historic importance of his products.

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

Psychopaths are that way by nature. Sociopaths learn how to be that way. Sociopaths are made through resentment and bitterness. They want the world to burn because it didn't deliver their expectations. Because Josef is surrounded by worshipers and because he is wealthy, he has no reason to be bitter. He does not fit the profile for a sociopath.

[@HybridRobotix]

I have experienced similar treatment from two different online communities. I have b een banned from both of these communities because of the way I communicate which is very direct. I speak my mind and do not pull punches or suck up to any person or organization. I have not done anything to deserve this treatment. One of these companies is a well known educational electronics company and the other is a well known 3d printing community. The treatment you have received is not just what Prusa believes you have done. This is not the only community where this kind of thing happens,

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

So I'm not alone. That still doesn't excuse Prusa's behavior.

@@paytreonsuhks I'm not saying that - I'm just highlighting considerations. Gunsmithing is a skill that people study and train in and get certifications for and is regulated for a reason. However unfair people might think human laws are, the laws of physics are even less forgiving. Firearms manufacturers have to meet stringent requirements to ensure that their products don't risk the safety of their users. Diy firearms not so much. Jus' sayin'

I know there is controversy over 3d printed guns. Even with this though, it is plain WRONG for you to be banned from attending RMRFF. As you said, this is very inconsistent. The same rules should apply to EVERYONE. I would consider this discrimination against you for no valid reason.
