    This is mainly because consumer 3d printer have been developped by 3d printing enthusiast first and not a company, Prusa which was leader for some time used a lot of open sources project to build their printers. As it’s getting mainstream as time goes by more and more companies shows up with closed sources project sadly.

        Aren’t you confusing them with Bambu?

        Their slicer is based on Prusa’s exactly because Prusa isn’t doing closed source.

                Thanks for the link.

                Looks like not really closed-source, but not fully open as the previous printers were.
                And the reasoning is the usual, other companies stealing their designs. :/

        You are not completely wrong, they have one printer with closed sources.
