Louis Rossmann offers to pay legal fees for a threatened OrcaSlicer developer

路易斯·罗斯曼（Louis Rossmann）提议为一名受到威胁的 OrcaSlicer 开发者支付法律费用

Louis Rossmann has officially pledged $10,000 to cover the initial legal fees for an independent software developer threatened with a cease and desist letter from Bambu Lab. He posted a video on Saturday to mobilize the Right to Repair community to back the developer and crowd-fund his legal defense. Rossmann is quite unhappy with Bambu Labs, giving the company the middle finger several times in the video and then ending it with, “And if you’re watching this, Bambu Labs, go f*** yourself. Pick on somebody your own size.”

路易斯·罗斯曼（Louis Rossmann）已正式承诺出资 10,000 美元，用于支付一名独立软件开发者的初步法律费用，该开发者此前收到了来自拓竹（Bambu Lab）的停止侵权函（cease and desist letter）。周六，他发布了一段视频，动员“维修权”（Right to Repair）社区支持该开发者，并为其法律辩护进行众筹。罗斯曼对拓竹公司非常不满，他在视频中多次向该公司竖中指，并在结尾说道：“如果你们正在看这段视频，拓竹，去你的吧。有本事去欺负和你体量相当的对手。”

The developer in question, Pawel Jarczak, voluntarily shuttered his “OrcaSlicer-BambuLab” project, which would have restored direct control between Bambu Lab 3D printers and OrcaSlicer. Last year, Bambu Lab deemed these types of third-party integrations a risk to its infrastructure, saying its cloud servers were inundated with roughly 30 million “unauthorized” requests per day. OrcaSlicer was singled out as the main source of the rogue traffic.

涉事开发者 Pawel Jarczak 此前主动关闭了他的“OrcaSlicer-BambuLab”项目，该项目旨在恢复拓竹 3D 打印机与 OrcaSlicer 之间的直接控制功能。去年，拓竹公司认为此类第三方集成对其基础设施构成了风险，称其云服务器每天被大约 3000 万次“未经授权”的请求淹没，并将 OrcaSlicer 指为这些异常流量的主要来源。

“If Bambu Labs goes after you for keeping up your code, I am so confident in your case that I will pay the first $10,000,” Rossmann said in his video. “Before Pawel makes a decision, I want him to see the overwhelming support that he has from the members of the community if he goes through with this decision.”

“如果拓竹因为你维护代码而起诉你，我对你的胜算非常有信心，我愿意支付最初的 10,000 美元，”罗斯曼在视频中说道，“在 Pawel 做出决定之前，我希望他能看到，如果他坚持下去，他将获得来自社区成员的巨大支持。”

Rossmann is asking Jarczak to put his fork of OrcaSlice back on GitHub in defiance of Bambu Lab’s threats. “How many of you, if push came to shove, if Bambu Labs was (bleeping) stupid enough to actually take the garbage case they have to court, how many of you would be willing to put up a dollar, $2, or $5 to defend Pawel? I’m willing to say $10,000,” Rossmann said.

罗斯曼要求 Jarczak 将他的 OrcaSlicer 分支重新放回 GitHub，以对抗拓竹的威胁。罗斯曼说：“如果事态发展到紧要关头，如果拓竹真的蠢到要把这种垃圾官司闹上法庭，你们中有多少人愿意拿出 1 美元、2 美元或 5 美元来支持 Pawel？我愿意先出 10,000 美元。”

Rossmann’s video contained a link to the Consumer Rights Wiki to explain the issue at hand to his audience, who may not be familiar with 3D printing but are avid defenders of Right to Repair. Right to Repair is a global consumer rights movement built on the principle that if you bought it, you own it. And if you own a thing, like a Bambu Lab 3D printer, you should have the freedom to fix, modify, or maintain the product as you see fit.

罗斯曼的视频中包含了一个指向“消费者权利维基”（Consumer Rights Wiki）的链接，旨在向观众解释当前的问题。他的观众可能并不熟悉 3D 打印，但却是“维修权”的坚定捍卫者。“维修权”是一项全球性的消费者权利运动，其核心原则是：如果你购买了它，你就拥有它。如果你拥有一件物品（例如拓竹 3D 打印机），你就应该有权按照自己的意愿去修理、改装或维护它。

Bambu Lab printers are difficult to mod and/or repair yourself, with parts that are often glued in place. The original Bambu Lab X1 Carbon was notorious for its non-replaceable carbon rods that could wear out, and a hotend nozzle that needed a screwdriver and a tube of thermal paste to swap out if you wanted to avoid buying a $35 hotend just to change the nozzle size.

拓竹打印机很难自行改装或维修，其零件通常被胶水固定。最初的 Bambu Lab X1 Carbon 就因其不可更换的碳纤维杆（容易磨损）而臭名昭著；此外，如果你想更换喷嘴尺寸又不想花 35 美元买整个热端组件，你必须使用螺丝刀和一管导热膏来拆卸喷嘴。

Rossman has not started a crowdfunding site yet, stating in the comments that he wants to prove to Jarczak that he has supporters willing to put their money where their mouth is. The video had over 54,000 views so far, with commenters vowing to back the case as requested.

罗斯曼目前尚未启动众筹网站，他在评论中表示，他想向 Jarczak 证明，他拥有愿意用实际行动支持他的拥护者。该视频目前已有超过 54,000 次观看，评论区中许多人承诺将按要求支持此案。
