I think Louis Rossman is going after them

[–] NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Not quite yet. He’s basically said he’s ready to back a legal challenge to it.

Louis is encouraging someone to keep doing what they’re doing despite Bambu sending someone a cease and desist and Louis will provide some funding for legal support if Bambu keeps pushing. But there isn’t anything going directly after them yet.

He just uploaded orcaslicer to the FULU GitHub and invited Bambu to sue him instead… I’m ordering popcorn in bulk for this one 🍿

[–] rottenmummy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

You're right. Maybe it better in general to let other people fight while he supports, this way more people learn to fight back.

He’s calling for donations in order to fight them

[–] rottenmummy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

When did he do that? Last time I remember there was no link

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The former poster was incorrect in saying he was asking for donations (he was asking for people to say they would donate, if the need were to arise)

However, a few hours ago, he uploaded a followup video stating he has uploaded the code in question himself, and is inviting Bambu Labs to challenge him legally. In the video he did mention where donations could be made but I don't recall him specifically asking for donations for this particular cause.

Splitting hairs here imo. His 2nd video was baller

Uploaded it to...GitHub. Where Bambu will send them some legal threat and they'll take it down like they always do.

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, I don't think Louis Rossman has the means to host his own website or upload it somewhere else.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

He absolutely does. Who do you think hosts consummerrights.wiki?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

you can donate to Fulu foundation.

For what end, if he succeeds they'll just remove it from the market.

If by "it" you mean the printer, not at easy move imo
