This product looks really cool. Too bad it's *not open source*. They claim they will distribute the design files under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, NC stands for noncommercial, so it's not open source. The design is also patented, which (AFAIK) means it's illegal to make this printer without their permission.
I would have much preferred CERN-OHL-S, which explicitly gives you patent rights.
Great news! 🚀
