I bought a MK3S+&Enclosure this year instead of 5 clones. I'll be buying a MK4 and an XL, again instead of 15 chinesium clone machines.

Free Openness, reliability, trustworthiness - that's what I paid a multiple for.

Joseph puts his name on every machine, every spool of filament. I trust that if and when something goes wrong, it's his neck on the line to make it right.

I welcome a newer, stronger, toothier approach to Free and Open hardware and software.

If that means a patent trust, or a consortium for enforcement, or whatever collaboration between large players can become, it would be great if this could be the catalyst.
