#Prusa MK4s is officially close source!
After the MK4s announcement I've tried to find mentions of open source hardware and couldn't find anymore. They play on words like "open design" or "our code is open source" but it seems they finally admit that their hardware is close source. They announced a new app but didn't say it's open source.
They promised to release MK4 sources too as it was sold as open source hardware but we are still waiting for MK3 sources files so...
