    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.

        Isn’t Prusa expanding to the US or something? Thought I saw it somewhere.

            yeah but I’m not going to be able to make a Bambu printer in the US since it is a product produced by a Chinese company. A Voron is different since I can source parts from US based companies and put it together myself in the US.

      When you shut everyone else down, they’re the only guys left with the freedom to do business.
