Just need to phrase it as “China is stealing our open-source software and profiting from it” and they might be onboard with blocking them.

Wouldn’t even be lying.

It’s a real shit-show out there with those requirements unfortunately. Trust me, been down the rabbit hole.

Prusa are the best when it comes to Open-Source, but they ain’t cheap.

That’s exactly what I’m going to do

It’s a minefield out there!!

I keep doing research into what to buy to get into the hobby, only to after a while give up because it’s all fucked. 95% of reviewers seem fully in the pocket of the companies they are reviewing, it just looks like watching a advertisement.

Apparently many manufacturers do this, Creality, Soval etc.

It would be great if the EU and US blocked the sale of products that violate Open-Source liscences.

Should solve the problem fairly quickly

Prusa’s are damn nice and as Open-Source as can be.

I just wish they weren’t 3/4x the price

I don’t want to be the guy to tell my boss I’ve bricked the F-35
