Well, @elyarchi6981 sent a threat to @ThePrintHouse over their video where they were not only honest, but gave them the benefit of the doubt. Should companies even be allowed to do this??? Creators are trusted for our opinions, that is the only thing we have, our integrity, and part of printer reviews and first looks is that we have full control over what is said and why. Yes, we often want to give the companies the benefit of the doubt, but when they send threatening messages, it is not okay. H...

Hanging out with Jacob @construct3d talking all about the latest firmware update from @BambuLab , its implications for users, as well as its implications for businesses!
