This is the emails between the YouTuber YGK3D and Anycubic, it seems like they won't send 3D printers to reviewers who mention their GPL3 license violations.

tl;dr Anycubic uses open-source software for their firmware, but doesn't make it public as per license agreement, and they don't seem to be friendly to anyone who calls this out.

May not be the best place to ask, but I’d love to get into 3D printing.

What’s a good entry level printer that’s OSS friendly?

Was looking at Bambu but they are extremely closed source.

    Prusa printers are good but there’s rumblings about prusa entering his villain era. Voron printers are complicated but great since you get to learn a lot by building your own machine.

    Oh no, what rumblings would that be? Prusa has always been a ray of hope..

    I'm in the same space. I want an open source printer that just works. Everyone says beginners should go with bambu or creately but I rather do open source.
