It's weird to me that Prusa is bemoaning the state of open hardware in the 3D printer space right as he releases a CoreXY-kinematics based printer, a family of printer design that has been pushed almost exclusively by the volunteer community and small companies over the past half decade. The PrusaXL has taken quite a few learnings from the Voron community, V-Core's Ratrig, and all the other related open projects in that space.
I like Prusa and I like Prusa made printers, but it feels weird to me for him to say that they are keeping their designs closed source because the benefits received are one-way while the PrusaXL is shipping.
