This is the emails between the YouTuber YGK3D and Anycubic, it seems like they won't send 3D printers to reviewers who mention their GPL3 license violations. > > tl;dr Anycubic uses open-source software for their firmware, but doesn't make it public as per license agreement, and they don't seem to be friendly to anyone who calls this out. > > More info: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxIMpZTkXqFo0H6pDwhZpdYqMYvLhPvWA5?lc=UgxA-4LYvwrnonXuXsZ4AaABAg >
The new bondtech indx is really interesting, all the active electronics are in the main tool head, so it's more in line with how typical cnc tool changes work and should be less expensive compared to other extant tool changing options.
Prusa just licensed the indx for their new toolchanger, but there are going to be kits for a variety of common platforms.
