[Zack Freedman] You can copy and 3D print perfect spare parts! (Legally) (Probably) - Lemmy.World

I really liked the video and the way he explained the process. Loved the tip about using translucent/white PLA in the first few test prints and making notes with permanent markers.
Apparently the legality stuff is iffy according to YT comments and the tips in the video should not be construed as legal advice.
Meh, f*ck’em :)
Nobody’s going to know what you’re printing at home unless you’re using one of those spyware filled, cloud connected printers.
You mean the most popular brand of all aka Bambu? I can‘t recommend them even if they don‘t snitch at you right away. The ecosystem they‘re setting up is bad for consumers as is.
That’s why it gets the “can’t see the internet” VLAN.
Luckily, there are other companies making (mostly) “just works” printers with varying levels of openness

I am planning on buying my first 3d printer this summer. My research so far has pointed me towards bambu labs p2s. I have seen nothing like this comment before.

What about Bambu Labs makes it bad for consumers? And what would you recommend as an alternative? I like that it is very beginner friendly and in an enclosed system so that my kids cannot mess with it as easily. Also the ams pro 2 seems like it is quite far ahead of its competition?
