I think it's as misterios to GP as to anyone else, inclusing yourself given how difficult it seems to be to come up with an actual answer.

No. It's easy. I develop tools. Some of which are tools I may want to sell to other. if I am dependent on a platform to make money, I don't want to ask permission to do so.

You still didn't answer either of their questions:

> Permission to do what exactly?

> Was there something before the OCL you could / were planning to do that the OCL now prohibits?

Make modifications and sell it, duh. It's something to contemplate when I am trying to solve a manufacturing problem.

I don't know why is it so difficult for you to conceive based on well known definition of open hardware and the analogy to free software.

Bambu started this whole charade right after I bought my very first printer of theirs. Unfortunately, outside of the return window.

Rest assured, my next printer will not be a Bambu, and in the meantime I only buy 3rd part replacement parts and filament. Does Bambu do market research? I’d love to see which knucklehead put together the powerpoint that convinced them that their remarkably technical audience would be amenable to such tactics.

I look forward to your modifications and advancements in the 3d printing community that are published under completely open licenses!

I don't know about other brands or even models, but I can attest that the Bambu A1 Mini "just works". I precisely wanted to avoid another hobby, of which I have too many already. 3D printing as a hobby doesn't appeal to me, I just wanted something that solved the problem and was relatively cheap. The A1 is this for me, it's as close as a fire and forget appliance as I could find. Not saying there aren't better altern…

The A1 mini has turned out to be a fire hazard as of recently. Some component in the power supply that can explode and in the worst case catch fire. Multiple events during the last year, and shockingly it hasn't been recalled. You probably don't want to run yours while not in the room.

Thanks, I'll pay attention. To be honest I never run anything without me in the same room or the next one, so I should be safe.
