This is long overdue.
Using open source code to then pretend its protected by IP. Is 100% BS.
And no less from a Chinese owned brand, a country with a long establish history of patented theft.
Wanted to say thank you to the team at Snapmaker for making their platform open source. including the firmware.
This is a huge sign of relief and acknowledgement for the work done by the thousands of volunteers over the history of open-source 3D printing.
Well Done.
Most of this is well known by this community, but its great to see someone breaking it down in an easy video. Plus I am sure he would appreciate the support from viewership.

This particulate customer started out using our PHA filament to create functional protypes of these plastic wads. Then we transitioned his product to Injection Molded material.
Ballistic testing in harsh conditions is no joke. And the material performance is custom tailored for the application.
For reference, its estimated that 83 tons of PP or LDPE is used and consumed by the sport shooting and hunting industry. That's 83 tons of plastic blasted into the environment, over fields, lakes, rivers, wetland. Name it.
All of that reduced to a material that won't take the next 200 years to break down, and will do so harmlessly.
Print Time: 8:15 Hr.
0.2 mm layer height, 15% infill.

The warping is minimized to less than 1 mm across the entire print surface.
