    Lmao, as an idiot trying to get a 20y/o stratysys running at work, I can see why they’re trying to sue.

    Their machines are trash and wildly outdated, DRM spools locked into cases and disposable beds are GARBAGE.

      Outdated? I’ve yet to see out of the box quality at 800€ like bambulab… DRM spools? You can use whatever you like with the printer. The spool just makes filament detection in the ams possible. Disposable beds? The printers come with reusable beds… The pattern beds are optional.

      We have 3 Stratasys printers at work and yeah, you’re absolutely correct.

      To add, their ‘professional’ slicer program “Insight” is the most user hostile piece of software I’ve ever laid my eyes on. Straight out of 1992 levels of awful. The workflow, the UI (if you can call it that), everything.

      The other ‘user friendly’ slicer is “GrabCAD Print”, an Apple style piece of garbage. It lacks everything beyond basic functionality, yet lately they’ve been pumping it full of subscription locked features.

      Honestly, fuck this company.
