Bullshit fucking patent trolls. Companies like that should be shut down.

From the post:

>A patent lawsuit filed by one of 3D printing's most established firms against a consumer-focused upstart could have a big impact on the wider 3D-printing scene. In two complaints, (1, 2, PDF) filed in the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, against six entities related to Bambu Lab, Stratasys alleges that Bambu Lab infringed upon 10 patents that it owns, some through subsidiaries like Makerbot (acquired in 2013). Among the patents cited are US9421713B2, "Additive manufacturing method for printing three-dimensional parts with purge towers," and US9592660B2, "Heated build platform and system for three-dimensional printing methods."

The same company that tried to end their lease to Cody from Defense Distributed when he made the first 3D printed POS zipgun with an old stratasys. This is why I put support toward open source hardware where I can if I know about it.

Yeah, Fuck this company.

I hate it when a company invents something, patents it, NEVER uses it and then sues someone else when they try to use it and not realizing it is already patented by some fucktard troll company. There needs to be a use time frame or the patent goes open.

They did end that lease and took the printer back. He got another one off eBay. Stratasys is trying to be the only game in town.
