The shitstorm of a fallout has pushed the community behind Billet Labs more than they ever would have gotten had they just gotten reviewed properly. It may have sucked what had happened but I think they will be better off in the long term now that people are aggressively supportive of them. Funny twist of fate in my opinion.
Where did you read that Billet Labs didn’t want the block back?
Billet Labs made a post on reddit and in that post had a comment update saying this. They mentioned they already had started making a new prototype as they can’t guarantee that it would still be in usable condition as well as some other reasons.
