limited research needed to make their own products - they’re just copying open patents and software, tuning it a little, and selling the package at manufacturing cost + profit margins

So you really have no idea about these printers. Bambu has a dozen patents for novel IP.

"copying open patents" no such thing as an open patent, IP is either patent, or open domain. All printer companies exploit expired patents, including Prusa.

Stratasys is suing Bambu over: Purge Towers, Force Detection, Networked Systems & Smart Spools, but Stratasys are cunts who try to sue anyone. How did they get a patent for purge towers.
