using Russian 5D printer as a prototype #53

I propose to use in development and steal and decompile what is not publicly available from this Russian 5d printer. They have a successfully working and commercially available printer in two variants. https://5dtech.pro/5d-530-fiber/

Here an open source slicer, it seems to me https://github.com/stereotech/STE-Slicer

the control software (STE App) is a reworked fork the Cure to which they added a 5d processing module and made it proprietary (in violation of the license obviously)

In the near future I plan to buy one printer from them, and in any case I will crack the software that runs it, because the head license for it costs 50k rubles per workplace. I'll do it myself or with the help of your community - it's up to you

how are the results?

It’s not easier to use a cracked Rhinoceros

Let's violate license agreement of commercial software and use it's code in open source project. What can go wrong? Lol

How exactly they violated LGPL? "Adding proprietary module" to open source project under LGPL is not illegal as I know.

Reworked Cura is still under LGPL and code is published.

They want 18,500 USD for their fiber printer.

Seems like they're over estimating the value of what they built.

It's a cool machine, but there's enough open source gear out there to build one for far less.

Slicing is gonna be the main issue until it's "perfected".

That being said, I don't think stealing someone else's work is ever a good idea. It doesn't seem anything they have is proprietary (legally speaking) beyond their assertion that it is.
