Online discussions in 3D printing communities mention that some companies might have control over cloud-based services and enforce certain terms of use, but this does not equate to actively monitoring or reporting users for printing legal items using offline methods (like a USB drive).
Flashforge is a Chinese manufacturer of 3D printers and software, known for products like the Adventurer and Creator series. Online reviews and discussions about Flashforge products generally focus on:
- Customer support experiences, which are often described as poor or frustrating.
- Printer quality and reliability issues.
- Limitations or outdated features in their proprietary slicing software, FlashPrint, compared to open-source alternatives like Cura or OrcaSlicer.
The user's statement about avoiding Flashforge due to a specific "against print (2a stuff)" stance and reporting users is not substantiated by reliable sources, and seems to stem from general community concerns about potential (though not confirmed or widely enforced) cloud service monitoring, rather than an explicit company policy.- Customer support experiences, which are often described as poor or frustrating.
