@abirvandergriff8584 commented: “I'm in for $100 – I have an X1 from before they revealed how evil they are.”
Given the immediate reaction from his fans, it appears that Rossmann may, in fact, drum up plenty of support.

M0rtis The tech world needs more people like Louis Rossmann. Hopefully enough people step up and share the load so that he can finally get a good night's sleep. Reply
patriotpa Bambu Lab's claims ring hollow when their rise relied on open-source contributions they aggressively monetized, followed by legal threats against developers restoring user control—like the OrcaSlicer fork by Jarczak. Their printers, often called cut-rate Prusa knockoffs, prioritize proprietary lock-in over true repairability, with glued parts and non-replaceable components that mock the Right to Repair they now obstruct.

Chokkymalk Bambu labs lost a future customer. I was very much planning on getting a high quality FDM printer from them when Canada pays me the rest of my genocide money, simply because of how good their machines seem to print. Looks like that's a solid pass now. I'll manage with another company. Not that I really need any more 3d printers😂 Reply

The entire world needs more consumers like Rossmann who value the ability and right to repair the things they buy. It goes beyond just the tech world. But even software companies now like to "rent" you the right to use their software so that you don't own it. Hey Blizzard (Activision / Microsoft), go "bleep" yourself for forcing me to run Battle.net in order to play the original Starcraft Brood War if I want modern graphics. I was willing to pay extra to get improved graphics but forever requiring the game to periodically authenticate with Battle.net or revert to lower quality graphics really irritates me. What I really want is a downloadable upgrade pack for the original CDROM version of the game so I can have an offline LAN party network with licensed copies of the game that don't ever require connecting to the internet. But what you ultimately want is to force people to log in so you can shove advertisements in our faces to play games we already paid for. When people like Rossmann rage against the greedy corporate scumbags that treat customers like their indentured peasants I'm inspired to light my torch and wave my pitchfork in the air. Reply
Wei Cheight I don't even own a 3D printer, but I would support this with my money. It's frankly sad that right to repair even has to exist because companies have wrested control of products consumers bought out of the hands of those consumers who've supported them. Particularly in this case, if a company has benefitted from open-source, they should profit while still adhering to the principle of community sharing. Reply

Whole-heartedly agree. Which is why I no longer buy any games at full price. I'll wait however many months/years for it to drop significantly to a rentable price. $20 is all a AAA game is worth if I can't own it. And license checks are BS. I didn't steal the game when I paid for it and I didn't steal it again today. By the way Ubisoft, I'll need to check on that $20 you took for that game. You know, to make sure YOU didn't steal it.

Co BIY I'm not fully up to speed on 3D printing – How would a "slicer program" communicating with a printer directly cause a load on the Company's servers ? Reply
