First came across these in my makerbot cupcake back in the day

Esperemos que sea verdad. Ya hace años que las empresas trampean con el tema del hardware abierto. Con la impresión 3D MakerBot o Prusa presumían de open source al tiempo que escondían planos e info "por motivos comerciales". Esta empresa ha patentado la tecnología, mal empieza.

Ultimakerはまだがんばってたんかー
拙者がUltimaker2使ってた頃あたりから丁度makerbotの鼻めがねさんの…なんだっけMakerbot？とか、Ultimakerあたりは完全に製造業をターゲットに切り換えていきましたもんな
MakerbotはThing-o-maticを使ってたけれど、まともに出力出来たのはほんの数回だったなあ

Depends on your level of tinkering too. You can get a Bambu or Makerbot if you want to (more or less) plug n play.
There’s other options and some even be cheaper, but you’d have to build it.

My first was a MakerBot Cupcake I built myself (open source) around 2011. I got my 4th yesterday for a fraction of the cost. Now I just need to find a good home for my Ankermake that I’m retiring!

My printer journey started with a Makerbot Replicator clone made out of acrylic panels, I bought on eBay for about $900 after selling most of my MTG cards. It was a dual-nozzle printer, but I could never get the left nozzle to work properly. I STILL have some prints that came off that printer.

I've been printing since 2015, drooling at the tech since makerbot in the early 2000s. We run a print supply and printing retail store to connect with the community locally and a farm in conjunction with other production equipment. I was hand sculpting molds, pouring rubber, and casting resin since the late 90s. There's your background.
Prusa has always had a reputation for quality and a reliability factor that's unmatched. However, the machines are ridiculously expensive.
I hate bambu. Period. Finally broke down and got our shop a p1s this past black Friday. The AMS is missing features like drying, the lcd screen is very 2019, it forces you to run through the cloud and have functional controls on a computer, the slicer is nothing more than a rebranded orca, the hot end design is not easily replaced with a quick swap. Their ecosystem is a selling point for newbies, but I have met so many that still don't understand basic maintenance or how to manipulate files that didn't come ready to go from makerworld. I have seen and interacted with so many that say "I bought my first 3d printer and am starting a 3d printing business" yet they don't know any of the ins and outs of running production on any level.
We have similar enclosed machines from a multitude of companies. The elegoo centauri carbon has been the most reliable and all around workhorse of a machine. You can not beat a machine that works for $300 and has better features than bambu if you understand printing in general. That is a sad reality. I just bought us 2 more and a carbon 2 to start testing, all for the price of one prusa. An even sadder reality there.
Im closing, keep up the good work. Keep innovating. Rest easy knowing you're a pioneer that set a precedence to be copied. It is truly the highest form of flattery for those who can't be creative originally.

上海モーターショーとかで散々パクリカーでドヤられてきた自動車業界民的には
「わはははは、やってんなぁｗｗｗ」
程度の受け止め。
主催はエントリーを希望する者に分け隔てなく出展機会を与えているだけの話で、そのスタンスでいいと思います。
本物が多数出展する場に堂々とパクリを並べてドヤれるならやればいいし、そこをどういう視点で見てどう評価するかは見る側が決めればいいと思います。
本物側の人にとっても彼らがどういう了見なのか直接お話を伺ったり どこまでパクってるのか実機を舐め回せるいい機会なんじゃないかと。
パクリを足掛かりに成長するか パクリしか出来ずに消えていくかは彼ら次第ですが、かの地における起業は基本的にそういうもので Bambu Labが異常にきっちり（？）していただけのことです。
個人的には昨年のJRRFでRepRapの雄であるPrusaとクローズドソースのBambu Labが近い位置にブースを構えていて、その近くでMakerbot replicaterが動いていたのを高く評価しています。
対角に割り当てることも出来たはずのこれらをあえて近くに構えさせたところに主催のメッセージを感じました、私が主催に求めるのはそういうのですね。

I understand your disappointment, and I also care about open-source licenses and proper attribution.
But I’m not the developer of this product. I’m a buyer/user, and talking about or testing something doesn’t mean I endorse every aspect of how it was made.
I also talk about INDX a lot, and I personally asked Martin several times / F2F to come to JRRF because I genuinely want more original Western products to reach Japan. But the reality is that many of them are hard to buy here, expensive for the local market, and repair parts can take weeks to arrive. That market gap exists.
At the same time, I do directly tell manufacturers on WeChat and elsewhere to respect open-source licenses. I just don’t always make public videos/posts about every private conversation because I’m not a full-time YouTuber.
I think criticism is fair. But I don’t think it’s fair to assume I’m “promoting clones” just because I quote-posted one machine and said I want to see how it runs.
Team E3D will come this time so there’s a slight change happening.

it's basically the MakerBot equivalent of "linux laptops". It's sort of obvious it was just supposed to snipe a specific autist market segment with mildly better than standard appearances - while in reality being occluded PE garbage.

If you held a @MeebitsNFTs this past weekend, you had an opportunity to meet these legendary folks IRL
-The Cryptopunks founder-Matt Hall @matthall2000 and John Watkinson @pents90
-Meetbit CEO @sergitosergito
-Makerbot founder @bre
-The legendary @AdamWeitsman
-NFT artists like @SamSpratt @justinaversano @LoroMasnah @cryptopunkart @steve_LESNYC and many others
-BAYC royalty like @wonk1m @TheMiamiApe @KrayTrain @beijingdou
-and tons of apes, punks, good vibes and just regular NFT loving folks I appreciate meeting and getting to know like @pman555 @tonihotdog @joshstrauss_eth @Dannyb0yyy_ @tMAIS0N @economist
May be missing a few names but what a night of networking!! I didn't know what to expect and certainly didn't get a chance to meet everyone. I remain undox for the time being but slowly connecting with folks IRL.
Who says NFTs are dead?
Might be time to grab a @MeebitsNFTs
Who knows what @sergitosergito has in store for us next?

Are there people there that think they have more than a 90 day moat for any software product they release?
All you have to do is look what happened to the 3d printer world and makerbot to see what happens to open source hardware, even prusa has moved away from it to some degree now.

The 3 that could run -printrbot, lulzbot, makergear were not well capitalized. They started as hobby projects in the garage with crowd funded takeoffs. Even makerbot survived because of capital infusion. You recently raised and probably know how tough it is to get funding.

WTF why does it say made with AI? Its not made with AI...

Careful, you're getting too close to the real answer.
Look to the past, the last large US 3D printing company still made their printers in China but charged thousands and did everything they could to force you into only buying their filament.
*cough* (makerbot) *cough*

We could go back to 100% build yourself MakerBot or parts kits and I'd be happy

I could with the Stratasys but not the MakerBot unless I make it in sections.

When I first started messing with 3d printing for my masters this wasn't conceivable. Makerbot came out with the first dual extruder when I was defending.
Things have come a long way since then.
