Perhaps proprietary is not the correct word then, but it is exclusively in-house developed by themselves AFAIK. My point is, they insist on reinventing the wheel every time they want to catch up to their competitors because of this, instead of just working together with the open source community.

Didn’t know that was a thing

I don’t get it…what’s this “meme” trying to convey?

Prusa is what i would call partly open source these days, the article you link is up to date. But they’re behind the curve at the moment playing catchup with much cheaper printers. This is in part because they insist on their own proprietary firmware instead of working with the massive klipper community which IMO is driving bleeding edge of consumer 3D printing right now, and what almost all their competitors are also using (in some variation).

what are the chances I need to stop at the paid restaurant when I am trying to get to another restaurant in 20 minutes?

That’s not the purpose though. This puts this other restaurant in your head for some other time. You may think you’re not actually affected by this tactic, but decades of research shows that, even when aware of this, it still fucking works.

Their guaranties and payouts in their inaurance-branch are also horrendous and laughable, plagued by nonsensical coverage rules and ridiculous low rates.

Edit: and no, it’s not an insurance company masquerading as a pension fund, the areas are two entirely independent branches they have slowly been merged over time in the name of government efficiency (a.k.a. budget cuts). They also handle student financial support and basically all government financial aid programmes. But again, the cost of these things are entirely separate from the pension fund and how that is managed, it’s not the same pool of money.

Not when you look at their entire (investment) business. an article from the biggest danish financial paper outlines it (paywalled)

The last 8 years straight they’ve lost money though…

This is unfortunately way too real. How a supposedly professionally managed fund can loose money when prretty much the entire market is trending upwards is almost impressive.

That more like an item than a material I would say…

Hah I’m not even sure, even cheap materials like plywood have gotten expensive

You can build things without a tablesaw…a simple jigsaw and a spirit level as a guide gets you good results for straight cuts, just a little slower.

With some practice a regular saw will even get you good results for simple things like this.

Impressively large print, but I would’ve probably just built this in plywood or MDF.

You’re assuming case sensitive, which is not necessarily true.

Charge controllers detect open circuit connections, so it will very likely be in a log when suddenly the controller has an open circuit on the input terminals.

I’m not actually seeing it dissolving at all though. It’s softening, sure, but it’s not dissolving like ABS does.

Interesting if that happens, but that seems to be caused by additives used by prusa in their filaments then, because from a chemical standpoint the crystalline structure of PLA is simply not dissolvable by acetone. It can cause swelling and delamination of layers, but not actually dissolve it (without additives that mess with the polymer chains)

I set this up a good 25min ago, let’s see what happens. It’s polymaker polyterra PLA, 3 walls, 15% gyroid infill and some fuzzy skin with default parameters from orca slicer.

So far all I have is very slight color leeching out, but nothing has dissolved so far. I’ll let it run for a few days and keep you updated.

You might get some minor surface reaction, but you’re sure as hell not able to dissolve PLA in acetone. Leaving a part printed of PLA in acetone will not turn it in to goo like it does with ABS/ASA.
