I think the phrase refers to Behringer, a German audio/synth equipment company that pumped out cheap eurotrack + modular synth components. I'm not a synth person (and forget how I even know about this), so I looked around for a more authoritative recap and found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama/comments/onllk0/synthesizers_behringer_king_of_synth_copycats/ https://www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama/comments/onllk0/synthesi... Didn't know /r/HobbyDrama existed either. What a world! My hot take is that in the consumer commodity market, Prusa is losing market share to Chinese competitors. Consumers are extremely fickle and price-sensitive. What I think is interesting is that Prusa also has market share among small/medium manufacturing shops - although I have no idea if this segment is growing or shrinking. The strengths behind the Prusa brand (open-source ethos, reliable work horse machines, longevity) make Prusa a clear winner if I need to allocate capital for 20x 3d printers in the ~25cm build volume category. I see Prusa XL as an important stake in the large-format B2B 3D printer services market, and it makes sense that consumers aren't 100% satisfied with the current developments (large-format 3D printers are historically not oriented for the consumer market). I think it's exceptional that Prusa is applying their open source ethos to large-format 3D printing, which tend to be closed software/hardware ecosystems with a retail price tag of 5-10k USD.
