I doubt you'll answer this comment, but how come you only striked the goliath when all the development was done. You've featured the VZbot using a SE Magnum on your social media and the project is open source, so I assume you had lots of time to tell him to change his design. I support you defending your patent, but if your goal was to further the 3D printing community while protecting your patent, wouldn't it have been a good idea to tell him earlier? It seems malicious to exhaust development and production and then only then take it down. I appreciate your engineering, but I don't appreciate how you do buisness.
We appreciate your support of intellectual property in general and our right to protect our patent. We warned Vez months in advance and proposed multiple solutions to work with him, all of which he declined.
@@SliceEngineering I didn't know that. Though I guess sometimes "solutions" can be restrictive/ not always be mutually beneficial for both sides. I guess 3d printing will long have conflict between ideas, makers, and companies. I guess it will be interesting to see if future development by vez will result in engineering a new solution of higher performance, or another solution that doesn't share similarities with SE.
@@ruzzcraze1862 We believe in creating win-win solutions. That's the only way two parties can achieve long term cooperation. That's why Vez was in our affiliate program for so long. Unfortunately, when people's minds are already set on a course of action it is difficult to sway them.
@@ruzzcraze1862 Well, in Vez side of story. Slice did being cool with his design after some discussion and not only until the release of Goliath in Christmas sale they started making a fuss about it.
@@nakajimakuro I feel like SE wouldn’t have cared about a product with worse performance than it’s own, suddenly when they feel threatened they litigate. I don’t get this, the lsd/Goliath is a very technical product for a small group of makers. Slice somehow thinks this will take away from their business/large company/American made market.
The mosquito killer is coming.
Loading up on DEET? ;)
