    Well too bad the printer is just open access but not really open source. No one else is allowed to make money off of this. This makes is so a real ecosystem can’t form around this. If their license at least allowed profit-neutral projects. Only hobbyists can mod this for themselves and the main company could incorporate that later on

      Don’t let perfect become the enemy of good. It is still fantastic compared to the very proprietary and closed ecosystems of HP, Canon, and similar

        Then why aren’t they up-front about it? Why are they calling their thing “open source” if it isn’t?

        If they’d call it “source available” printer, then they are better then closed source alternatives, but if they aren’t honest… I’d rather buy from someone that is clearly telling me what they are selling to me, instead of obfuscating or maybe even lying about it.
