Fysetc pays to Duet3D and the dc42 fork of RepRap?
-
@dc42 I'm an unsophisticated hobbyist user and not focused on individual features, so much as general attributes:
- Stability.
- Usability - ABL using BLTouch, a good web GUI, good tools for monitoring printer status
- Configurability - I had to edit header files and rebuild kernels in the 90's, but that's a 1990's workflow - hopefully it shouldn't need to be done very often in 2019
- Safety - not interested in a long running print turning into a potential fire hazard due to poor thermal design on the controller board, shabby component specifications, or poor error handling in the software cascading into a catastrophic hardware failure.
- Print speed and quality - I don't want processor speed and outdated algorithms to be the bottleneck in getting good prints at 100-150 mm/s print speeds.
- Quiet - the Trinamic drivers seem to be the ticket
-
@sychan and every one of those items you have listed are in RRF What features does Marlin have the RRF Doesn't?

you say apple products are not cheap and nasty, i disagree, they are some of the worst products on the planet, the only thing apple is good at is marketing and the sheeple lap it up.
if you disagree with me about apple providing terrible quality i suggest you look up a repair channel on youtube Louis Rossman
Go watch a few of his video's then come back and tell me that apple dont sell cr*p
apple are also proven to lie to their customers... all facts so please dont use apple as an example of quality...
-
the real worm in the apple is planned obsolescence and the vendor lock-in that has a service department whose 1. priority is to sell you a new device.
anyways, back on topic; Fysetc clones are 1oz/35um copper top and bottom (or they were a while back), no idea about the other issues mentioned.

I'm not sure why this 7 1/2 month old post has been resurrected but I doubt that having a pop at @sychan is having much effect - given that he only ever made 6 posts and was last online on 28th February 2019.
-
who was having a pop ?
I was merely pointing out a fact, that in no way can apple be held up as a shining light of quality...
-
@calvinx For sure I agree that Apple products may not be the shining light of quality but why wait more than 7 months to reply to a post that was made on 12th January, on a 3D printing forum, by a user who last visited these forums on 28th Feb to make that point? I'm not trying to start an argument but it just seems a strange thing to do.

@fma said in Fysetc pays to Duet3D and the dc42 fork of RepRap?:
You can donate yourself to dev. team
Are you sure? How?
Regarding Fysetc, they started to have their own PCB layouts such as the small footprint PanelDue 5i. Anybody knows if those layouts are open source?
-
@zapta as far as i can tell nothing they do is opensource, although obviously copies from us.
-
@t3p3tony, now I get the trade war.
