I had noticed how their ethical standard seemed to be going down from the kind of spam from them I've been getting. But I held then to such high regard for their old open source contributions that I refused to believe.

Thanks a lot for that into. I think I'm convinced now. No one with any ethics would partner with any Israeli company unless there was literally no other choice in the world.

I'd rather use proprietary products.

    I’d rather use proprietary products.

    Where did that come from? How about the Ender 3 or a UltiMaker or a Lite3DP Gen 2 or even a DIY one?

    Ah yeah, I meant if I had to chose between the options. To illustrate that that's a greater evil.

    Sure, but please we mindful that if you do that it implies there are no more non proprietary options, which is just not true (even though the constraints are different I admit).

    Let's help each other find, or even build if nothing else is available, the lesser evil ;)

    I know there are other options. It was just hypothetical.

    But no way. Just building the prusa mini was way harder than I thought. Took me days and I messed up many things. I wouldn't try something even harder. Not that I have any way of having a 3d printer anymore... I'm trying to sell my prusa because of that. But I'll stop trying to convince people to buy prusa.

    Literally in the picture are the words "world's first"

    There's the choice of not selling this. It's not like it will be crucial to them.

    I'm sure there are a lot of areas in spying software, for instance, that israel offer unique and lucrative products. But I have the choice to invest on something else instead.

    We're talking about genocidal maniacs here. There's not a lot of excuses to support them.
