Yep. It's a shame. The overall product is great. But the violation and abuse of the AGPL is unacceptable.

Violation of *GPL is bread and butter for most of 3D printer companies, locking out users out of features they paid for and used is terrible though.

Not trying to be argumentative, genuinely wanting to learn. What other violations have there been (or are there currently)?

Ender 3s originally used Marlin has that changed? I thoughtKlipper required too much processing for the simpler printers like Enders.

The Ender 3 V3 has pretty much nothing in common with the Ender 3, other than the name and that it's a bed slinger

Which is why I did not write „all”. I had Prusa specifically in mind. It’s a shame they have to compete with companies that do not follow the rules as much as they do.

If only a Prusa XL didn't cost more than my car...

Use your XL to print a new car. Problem solved.
