    Good news is, you will never be able to stop hobbyist 3d printing.

    Sorry patent trolls, you can’t make aluminum extrusion, stepper motors, an extruder, and a short circuit illegal.

      The problem is that most people aren’t making RepRap printers from scratch, they’re buying kits which has everything included.

      Bambu makes decent gear, I don’t think we want to have the only option being Chinese machines which always makes compromises to make it cheaper. And that’s coming from a person who uses Chinese printers.

        When you shut everyone else down, they’re the only guys left with the freedom to do business.
