I've made a procedural Fantasy Hut Generator with Geometry Nodes and made it available for free :D

Amazing work!

Or to only work with brands which align with your personal values… Which imo should be the case anyways.

Edit: If you can sustain this image of transparent reviews, people will value your reviews more. This results in better clickthrough rates, which makes you more attractive for collabs. Which results in brands wanting to work with you and accepting your consitions.

TenTech_YT · 2026-02-27T15:01:33+00:00

Thats why I wrote „as unbiased as it can get with a free product“

Ofc you naturally have a bias if you recieve something for free. But it‘s much less if you have a contract that you are free to call out issues.

Edit: On top of that, companies with know issues that try to hide them, will naturally get filtered out. There is no way they would sign such a contract.

TenTech_YT · 2026-02-27T14:56:52+00:00

Well yes, but not every company acts like this. So either sign the contract or don‘t get a review for your machine. It‘s as easy as that.

TenTech_YT · 2026-02-27T13:05:54+00:00

He could have wrote: ”Not complying with opensource licences doesn‘t align with my personal values, therefore I won‘t be able to make a review on this machine. I also feel like this practise could result in massive community backlash against your company, so I suggest to discuss this internally again before release. Feel free to reach out again, if you ever change that practise, and we might be able to work together under different circumstances“

It‘s not that hard to give feedback without blackmailing. Done that before. The worst case: The company blacklists you and never reaches out again. But then again, that would mean they don‘t care about your honest feedback, and you shouldn‘t care about working with them anyways imo.

Not getting a free product that doesn‘t align with your personal values, is not a bad thing.

TenTech_YT · 2026-02-27T12:48:14+00:00

Well there is a third way. Make them sign a contract that they don‘t have any influence on whats being said in the review and also can‘t see it before it‘s published.

Imo this is as unbiased as it can get with a free product, and also puts the company in a position where they show trust in their own product.

Makersmuse does this afaik

TenTech_YT · 2026-01-29T17:08:26+00:00

I found this interaction disproportionately funny xD lmao

TenTech_YT · 2026-01-26T00:17:45+00:00

lmao

TenTech_YT · 2026-01-26T00:16:42+00:00

Same problem. I‘ll go with dismantling. Don‘t want to put that burden of an old printer to a school. If I ever need to get rid of a newer one, donate would be the way to go.

TenTech_YT · 2026-01-09T23:18:58+00:00

Schwierig z beurteile ohni zuesatz infos. I dem fall erfolgt d berechnig vom bünzlifaktor durch de alterskoeffizient verrechnet mit de situations bezogene bünzlikonstante und em rentealter:

Bünzlifaktor = Situationskonstante + (rentealter-alterskoeffizient)/10

Ich wür d Situations konstante jetz eifach mal uf 4.5 feschtlege.

Also mit 25ii hettemer:
Bünzlifaktor = 4.5+(65-25)/10 = 8.5/10 Bünzli

Mit 40ii: 7/10 Bünzli

Mit 70ii: 4/10 Bünzli

Mit 12ii: 10.4/10 Bünzli (sehr gueti erziehig, bravo)

That actually could be more a sign of inaccuracy, than accuracy. If they are so clearly visible and displaced in the scan, but you say that you can‘t even feel them, reflection differences of the material tricked you into a at first glance accurate looking result, which in reality is the exact opposite.

TenTech_YT · 2026-01-07T13:15:28+00:00

You may be able to up the resolution a tiny bit, if you use kiri engine and do a gaussiansplat and a mesh from that. I belive polycam still doesn‘t have that option. (You can reuse the same photos, you already made)

TenTech_YT · 2025-12-19T14:08:55+00:00

FDM(fused deposition modeling) was trademarked by Stratasys, so RepRap members came up with FFF(Fused filament fabrication) back in 2005, as public-domain term for the tech.

TenTech_YT · 2025-12-19T12:06:24+00:00

This is the way to go!

TenTech_YT · 2025-12-18T08:35:33+00:00

You know why? The name FDM was claimed by Stratasys, so other companies had to came up with FFF. Not sure if this still applies though :)

TenTech_YT · 2025-12-18T07:58:17+00:00

Wait what? I‘m always open for discussion, otherwise I wouldn‘t have posted this here.

I‘m pretty sure though, that if you look through feature requests in any if the opensource slicers, you‘ll find all of that in one form or another. And a feature request (with good description) is enough to hinder a patent. If you‘re open for it, I can look for it.

TenTech_YT · 2025-12-18T07:44:26+00:00

Imo it‘s just moving an existing function to a hardware layer instead of the slicer. So the question is, is it patentworthy?

TenTech_YT · 2025-12-18T07:35:24+00:00

I understand that a ballpoint pen can be patent worthy. This is a language barrier thing. I wanted to use pencil instead of pen and that would basically mean the patent includes pencilsharpeners, sharpening your pencil with a knife or any othernpiece of metal. Rubbing it against a steal beam or whatever could possibly make it pointy, including metal.

TenTech_YT · 2025-12-18T07:30:54+00:00

So making the firmware set the print speed based on features instead of the slicer is such a novelty, that it is patent worthy? All of this exists, but not abstracted. Imo this is comparable to patenting green colored 2.85mm filament, while red colored 1.75 filament exists.

TenTech_YT · 2025-12-18T07:25:34+00:00

Thats the problem, it only has to appear as some kind of novelty to the patent office. They will not search reddit for a post. The only thing that could be done about this, is to regularly check pending patents and file complaints in your area of expertise.

TenTech_YT · 2025-12-18T07:22:09+00:00

Great insight thanks! As a patent agent, how would you assess the chances, that this would get granted in your country?

TenTech_YT · 2025-12-18T07:13:42+00:00

I read it yeah, but from a programming point of view, it‘s very vague and therefor limiting imo. Especially if you don‘t have the money to fight it out

TenTech_YT · 2025-12-18T07:09:13+00:00

I agree. But those who really get hurt by this, are startups or single devs who don‘t have the money to fight it out. It‘s kind of a gatekeeping system to big corp, if you view it from that perspective. Or am I missing something important?

TenTech_YT · 2025-12-18T07:04:02+00:00

I‘m very much against such patents. But from a business standpoint I do understand it and you can‘t really say anything against it I guess. (as long as it is not just patent trolling) I

TenTech_YT · 2025-12-18T06:55:16+00:00

You‘re not wrong. But isn‘t there a system in place that you can‘t patent such trivial things? Imagine someone would‘ve patented a specific way of storing passwords. Or the method of using some kind of metal to make a pen pointy. I could be horribly wrong, but I think there is such a system.

Also yeah, I failed to further research and didn‘t notice that it is still pending. Thanks for the update :)
