- They mentioned having a generator, as well as two or so mobile Solar+Battery+Printer Stations (Mentioned ~48:21 in the Prusa Live Interview)
- Would be interesting to see
- What type of generator they have (Does it use Diesel Fuel , Gasoline , or LPG / Propane )
- Would they be interested in a Charcoal Gasifier / (More In-General) Gasifier / Biogas System for that?
- Also (in a more advanced sense) Solar Hydrogen , Microgrid with the local area, Steam Engine / Steam Turbine based electricity to allow the use of Solar Thermal , Oil Burners , or Waste Heat in a sort of Combined Cycle ?

Filament Production
- As per ~46:16 in the Prusa Live Interview, they consume somewhere around 300-400kg/year
