3D Printing: Will Open Source Have To Save Us Again?

Does the popularity of the Bambulab X1 3D Printer signal that open source is not as important to users as it once was? Chuck discusses his experience with one of the original closed source 3D printers; the DaVinci 1.0 and how that experience shaped his approach to 3D Printers including the X1.
