Today, we are releasing the full CAD files for the CORE One and CORE One L frames.

There seems to be a custom licence.

The Restriction: You cannot commercially exploit the design files (selling the product or remixes) without a separate agreement.

The Protection: It includes an explicit patent license grant, protection against AI data mining, and a codified Right-to-Repair.

Most of the linked article is about the licence.

      Yet a lot of those businesses lean on the work of prusa.
      Friend of mine always used creality their shitty slicer clone for his ender 3 v2, then got a bambu and was amazed by all the settings and options, different supports etc etc.
      Told him he should have switched to prusaslicer ages ago, which bambu’s slicer is based on and the sole reason its open source.
      (Also, orca slicer > bambu studio)

      Prusa has been fighting the enshitification of 3d printing so badly, they are going under while other companies are standing on their shoulders and pushing them under ><
