Open hardware desktop 3D printing is dead?

Hello Hacker News 🚀🚀🚀 I’ve done a little update on social since publishing of the article, let me copy paste it here. Since I posted my “Open Hardware is dead” article, you’ve been asking me about “that patent” 🤔 I didn’t want you to miss the forest (thousands of filings since 2020) just because of one tree. But let’s take a look now. In this case: the MMU multiplexer (we open sourced it 9 years ago). Anycubic (another IDG Capital-backed company) used the tactic of filing in China for an easy

I'd happily trade that room for little more strength in stormy weather, which always seem to find me when I'm camping, and a smaller footprint that will fit in more spots. That
