The ruling making 3D printer material-breaking legal doesn’t really matter, as long as the process voids the warranty of your 3D printer, which means no free repairs if your 3D printer goes bust because of that.
“At 3DP Company our goal has always been to insure that our customers have a great experience with their 3D printer and we know that material-breaking can severely degrade the experience.
“As we’ve said before, the vast majority of customers do not material-break their 3D printers as this can violate the warranty and can cause the 3D printer to become unstable and not work reliably,” the company said in reply to Monday’s ruling.
The process of material-breaking enables you to use your own material from outside 3DP Company’s Store, and is fun for those who know what they are doing.
