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.

Are there any American made printers?
Isn’t Prusa expanding to the US or something? Thought I saw it somewhere.
