I’m personally keeping an eye on Prusa. They’re working on a new multi-filament system for their new Core One printer and it might be worth the wait.

It is pricier because it is made in Europe but at least the company has a solid reputation for quality, repairability, consumer respect, and more ethical business practices than whatever enshitification hell Bambu is heading down the road towards.

Snapmaker beat them to it with a much simpler design and it does not have the mechanical connector issue they’re trying to insinuate they have simply because the toolheads are always connected.

Also Bambu has completely lost all trust from everyone by blatantly taking the steps to make it possible for them to force anti-consumer features on their printers down the road through mandatory updates which the printer will refuse to work without. Even if this turns out to be the best system ever, I don’t want anything to do with a printer that must always be online to work and that can one day be suddenly enshittified with something like mandatory subscription fees or filament DRM bullshit.

I imagine the two teams sharing the same desk through a hole in the wall like in Brazil.

The online services tax. Right now foreign companies can exploit the Canadian internet users and not pay a penny in taxes for it.

They dropped it because Trump was using it as an excuse to block trade negotiations. They dropped it and the negotiations still went no where. Canada is still paying higher tariffs than Russia. Let that sink in. Canada needs to speed up their decoupling if their economy from the US and bring back that tax.

I’m still pissed that Canada dropped theirs. It’s not discriminatory, it’s for all online services. Trump just wants to make his tech billionaire friends happy.
