The Iconic 3DBenchy Enters the Public Domain
- Philpax 2y agoHappy to see a positive outcome here! Here's a great video that details the incident that led to this: https://youtu.be/P7BhMKqIkig https://youtu.be/P7BhMKqIkig
- devmor 2y agoZack’s video on this subject was definitely the most clear and informative- definitely needed given the huge spread of misinformation.
- pbronez 2y agoAwesome to see the common sense solution become real
- Chernobog 2y agoI love some of the community responses to the initial Benchy madness, such as the 3D Boaty, which is a bench. https://www.printables.com/model/1141963-3d-boaty https://www.printables.com/model/1141963-3d-boaty
- Baeocystin 2y agoOk, that's hilarious. Thanks for posting it.

- hovden 2y agoThe article does not explain how they entered it into the public domain. One cannot just declare something is public domain. Public domain is a special circumstance.
- kid64 2y agoThat's nonsense, it sounds like you're only familiar with the concept of public domain in the context of copyright expiration.
- bityard 2y ago> One cannot just declare something is public domain. Of course you can. Lots of people do this. There are whole websites that collect and distribute public domain photos, music, artwork, etc. I'm actually very curious now what led you to the line of thinking that it isn't possible?
- mananaysiempre 2y ago(Not a lawyer.) Depends on the jurisdiction—e.g. Germany[1] is known to be particularly problematic. But in this particular case, the model has been released under CC0[2], which has a fallback permissive license alongside its public domain dedication, specifically to avoid this problem. That’s why the CC0 is a thousand words long instead of a couple of sentences. Most sites hosting “public domain” works also use the CC0 or something similar.

- 6SixTy 2y agoNAL either but D. J. Bernstein [https://cr.yp.to/publicdomain.html https://cr.yp.to/publicdomain.html] says that you can use a work under public domain in Germany same as any other country (e.g. copying), but there's a separate right to be credited for the work where applicable and protection for the author's reputation. So if I made Benchy longer and turned it into a rendition of the Titanic, I can't claim that it's 100% mine and no one else had a hand in making it under those rules.

- Multiplayer 2y agoWhat’s the current state of the art in 3d printers willing to spend 1k+. Is there an authoritative site for hardware?
- t0mas88 2y agoIf you're willing to build it yourself the Voron 2.4 is fast and high quality. For an off the shelf product probably Bambu Lab.
- lawn 2y agoThe Voron Trident is also great I think and maybe even a better entry point as it's a little easier to build than the 2.4.
- Kirby64 2y agoWhat, precisely, does a voron 2.4 offer over a Bambu X1C (or, more fairly, a P1P) that is worth the additional price (double a P1P) and the fact you have to assemble it yourself (which takes days)? I’m all for building something that offers an advantage, but it seems neither cheaper nor offering any better quality (and, if you build it poorly or use a poor quality kit, it’ll have substantially worse quality).
- FL410 2y agoPretty much just go buy a Bambu X1C and be done with it. I've been through a bunch of 3d printers, all of which required constant tinkering and babysitting. The Bambu just works, you click print and it prints, and fast. There's some drama now around them closing up the ecosystem and locking out third party firmware, etc. but I honestly could care less so long as it stays good at being a printer.

- wongarsu 2y agoI don't get this take. Criticizing Bambu for being very proprietary is fair. But how are they a Prusa rip-off? Prusa has been selling various evolutions of their Mk3 bedslinger for years, while Bambu entered the market with CoreXY printers. And not only is their design different, the entire philosophy is different: Prusa is selling to enthusiasts who want to tinker with their printer, Bambu is selling an out-of-the-box experience that "just works". Basically the Apple among the printers, if Apple was cheaper than the competition and sold replacement parts.
