@hwang @3dprinting also I think auto retract can be disabled in settings since 6.4.0-RC2.

Or even per filament type.

@hwang @3dprinting I store filament in dryboxes because I live in a humid area.

The filament auto retraction is a game changer for me. I don't have to wait for the nozzle to heat up to remove the filament back inside the box.

@bear_lab cannot comment on the legal aspect of hardware copyright.

But I would imagine prusa contributed significantly more to bambu studio/orca slicer than the other way around. Full time developers assigned to a project for a decade (!) counts for something.

OCL is definitely misleading and not OSHW. But I think Prusa is still one of the biggest allies of open source 3D printing (especially soft). It's ok to push them, but we should push actively anti FOSS companies like Bambu much more.

@bear_lab from what I understand Creality didn't truly shared their latest designs. For sovol fair; but aren't those essentially Voron clones?

So to me prusa seems to be on the level of RatRig (non-commercial) + they share a lot of important slicer code.

Do you know if LDO gives back to Voron design/employ some of the engineers?

I wish Prusa could do more open source. But it seems they're still the largest open source 3D printing contributors by impact. I might be wrong ofc.

@michal I couldn't find a good recycling option. There are some deals where you could send scraps by post to another country and get a discount on recycled filament. But you get a quite expensive low quality filament at the end. And this is for existing customers only, so you must buy recycled filament first.

So for now scraps go to the bin.

@julia @dakkar I think sculpt and chisel should work better in blender (never managed to learn it).

In FreeCAD it's mostly sketch, extrude, rotate, intersect. Or at least in the parts design workbench. I watched some YouTube videos, that was helpful.

But to be honest I had so many difficult moments in FreeCAD that I switched to onshape at the end. It's a night and day from the usability perspective in my opinion (sadly).
