    They’re using weapon printing as the wedge, but this is really about protecting all manufacturers.

      This is the thing imo. Come in under “ban ghost guns” but 10 years from now you try to print a new battery door for your remote and get blocked because the design is the property of Samsung.

      Fuck Bambu and co, I’ll keep my voron around as long as humanly possible

        It’s more about protecting companies like Disney, Nintendo, etc, not replacement parts. 3D printing is rife with copyright infringement, and companies like those would absolutely love a way to block their IP from being printed, or to be able to sue those who do it.

          …and this is why roght to repair laws need to be enforced heavily. If your stupid joystick is broken on purpose so you can squeeze $100 out of me every 6 months, i have a right and duty to correct it for myself and anyone who asks.

          (But fr tho stop buying nintendo products. They absolutely arent worth the moral weight and consumer disrespect. Pokemon is an incredibly lazy rpg design meant to sell toys)

            Hate or love Nintendo, you gotta admit Mario Odyssey was a fucking good game; but I’m a sucker for 3D platformers. Personally, I hate Nintendo, but love Mario and Zelda and such, so it’s a complicated relationship for me. Like sleeping with your toxic ex every couple of years and then remembering why you left them.
