Apparently the legality stuff is iffy according to YT comments and the tips in the video should not be construed as legal advice.

Nobody's going to know what you're printing at home unless you're using one of those spyware filled, cloud connected printers.

You mean the most popular brand of all aka Bambu? I can‘t recommend them even if they don‘t snitch at you right away. The ecosystem they‘re setting up is bad for consumers as is.

Firstly, never take legal advice from youtube or even here. And it's very unlikely you would ever be caught doing it as long as you don't sell the parts. Nor should you ever reverse engineer life threat level parts. Because you ain't that smart or good. And if you are that smart, you know better than to do so.
