This goes beyond buying a printer. Most people buy a printer and then use it for years. I believe it's necessary to get away from Bambu entirely.

That means no maker world. That means aggressively discourage others from buying bambu or using maker world. That means calling out online creators who promote Bambu or any of their products. And yeah, it means call out designers who put their STLs on MakerWorld.

I believe it is necessary to send a very strong message that Bambu that does not and will not own the 3D printing community.
