I’ve checked the usual telegrams and haven’t found’em. Anyone have any suggestions on where to possibly find them? I think I’m not crossing any rules with this.

    Btw, can anyone explain what piracy in 3D printing is about? Is this about some proprietary and costly replacement parts for a specific use? Or Patreon art/designs by independent creators? And what’s Materize? Some underground platform?

      A few things come to mind:

      • Non-Free TTRPG Ressources, basically what you would buy on MyMiniFactory or Patron etc.
      • Lego and similar toys
      • Community made content that is based on, but not licensed by, some franchises, e.g. a Mikey Mouse figurine, a 3D Avengers logo, etc.

        Sure. Piracy and archiving can be related. But what kind of object/shape would that be? Ultimately every digital file is threatened with vanishing. Unless some people keep it around. But that’s a very broad statement about how the world works in general.
