The issue I'm referring to happened like...10 years ago. Had nothing to do with slow loading or anything. That's why elsewhere I said I was cut from the old cloth -- none of you new guys have any idea what went on in the RepRap communities, which is ultimately the core group of 3D printer enthusiasts.
At the time printables didn't exist, and nowadays all of the people who are 3D printing have no clue what open source is, why they should care, why they need to defend it, etc. I attempted for years to educate the Reddit 3D printing communities, but it's too mainstream now. People just see 3D printing as a machine rather than an entire hobby/community.
