It's time for folks to stop thinking of Prusa as an open hardware company.
Open source is dead at Prusa. They haven't published source for new products or applications introduced since Josef's post in March of 2023. They don't intend to.
The XL & MK4 are closed-source printers, and are no more open than the Bambu printers. The older MINI+ and MK3S are *mostly* open, but with significant caveats.
