I was specifically called back to be asked about this. It felt so weird because in my country this is not a common question

This vastly depends on the field you are talking about.

There are absolutely things that are worth doing yourself, so that when they inevitably break you can fix them.

And there are also other things that are absolutely better bought or contracted...

In the end imo it gets down to time, money, and how many times are you going to need to maintain or replace the thing in your lifetime.

I think a lot of people in this thread are afraid that this is going to be used to automate the job. I'm honestly more scared by it being used to control that the workers are working at MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY. Workers being punished for being flagged by the AI as too slow, controlling that all and each move the worker makes is the exact one that the system expects, and being able to control each and every worker at the same time. That is a lot more dystopic to me.

I think that it's a reasonable license for them to protect their business while continuing to provide full access to the community. The single user would still be able to modify or even build their own clone, but a private company would not be able to just sell a copy.

In an ideal world where money did not exist this would be detrimental to innovation, but in the real world Prusa needs to make money to stay in business. And considering their competitors, I would much prefer them to stay in the business and as much ahead of the competition as possible.

I've had my old macbook for twelve years and the whole time it held up punching well above its spec range and running heavy loads. I customized it deeply. Never had to reformat, which instead I had to do more or less once a year on my previous Windows computers. Whenever I asked it to jump it asked how high. I don't think longevity argument has merit, at least for computers.

If you were to bring a letter opener to school and sell it to your friends you would still get a nice meeting with the police. The existence of the journal article is more related to the fact that a kid was stabbed to death in school last week, than to the fact that a dumb kid did something stupid and marginally related to his 3d printer.

Wow, that is absolutely mind-blowing. I never expected it to work with such complex designs! Mind sharing some tips or examples of how you accomplished this? I'm really curious about the notes around the ring

It is getting better, but I still get crashes in 1.0. I feel like there are some specific tools and features that are a lot more prone to crashes and others that are quite solid. I had crashes in particular with the thickness tool and some joins in the assembly workbench.
