   Incredible scenes: had a takedown demand from a large unnamed miniature company for a model I remixed and published on Thingiverse.

   - It only uses CC-BY sources
   - it’s a proxy for a unit that does not have a purchasable model
   - it looks completely different from anything they ever made

   I think this is purely because it uses one
   of their trademarked words in the description and tag, and it’s been caught by some script.

   Shame I have it completely self-hosted these days… https://manyfold.floppy.org.uk/models/pzw2fmgd

     @Floppy Absolute legend, this is proof of how important your project is ❤️

     I'd love to help build a mobile app similar to Bambu Handy if I have time later this year, because I'd def use it myself.

     I think ManyFold will have its viral moment soon because more manufactures are following Bambu's dark patterns.

     I'm so looking forward to that!
