I thought that maybe the filament would be as good as the , or perhaps the one to top them, but their Prusament remains uncontested (AFAIK).

@chrastecky

I mean, yeah, they're just re-selling eSUN and SUNLU filament with fancy NFC tags (proprietary effort).

@fribbledom Ah, TIL, that explains the smell (which I only ever encountered for Sunlu PLA).

The NFC tags are a smart idea, though, really like that. Currently in the process of cloning them to put them on 3rd party filaments.

@chrastecky

Yeah, I just wish they would work on an open standard everyone (printer and filament manufacturers alike) could support.

If I had to guess right now tho, it's probably just a clever way to eventually force you to buy certain supported brands. HP's ink game all over again.

@fribbledom Yeah, pretty much. Well, cloning solves that for me, though I guess it's not everyone's favourite solution, native support of an open standard would be much better.

Well, we can only hope their private keys leak and everyone can create their own filament RFID tag.
