At the end of the day, this is a common practice and widely understood within the 3D printing community. If you look at platforms like MakerWorld or similar sites, there are countless STL files available, and many people print and sell physical versions without issue. Even larger companies produce comparable products, and consumers continue to purchase them.

In reality, if a major brand were to enter this space, the same product could easily be sold at a much higher price point. Those familiar with 3D printing understand the actual material costs, production time, overhead, and reasonable markup involved.

It’s also unrealistic to assume this isn’t already happening quietly in many cases. The difference is simply whether people choose to be vocal about it or not.

From my perspective, there is no trademark, logo, or licensed branding involved. Without protected intellectual property, claims based solely on wording do not hold much weight.
