Lmao, as an idiot trying to get a 20y/o stratysys running at work, I can see why they’re trying to sue.

Their machines are trash and wildly outdated, DRM spools locked into cases and disposable beds are GARBAGE.

Disposable what?!?!

The print beds are SINGLE USE injection molded ABS(I think it’s ABS, anyhow).

They snap over the heating element and seem to be a gigantic waste of resources. You can tell R&D was pushed to make their machines as profitable as possible by avoiding reusable parts.

You can’t refill their spool cassettes either without some RFID hacking.

It’s fuckin’ bogus.
