My friend and I were discussing the recent lawsuit against Bambu, and as passionate programmers and advocates of open-source, we came up with an idea for a website. The primary purpose of this platform would be to document prior art, helping to prevent patents related to 3D printing from being filed unjustly.

Users could support the open-source community by:

• Archiving the earliest known inventions in the field.
• Publicly disclosing their own inventions or ideas.

If the platform gains traction, we could potentially petition for the revocation of particularly detrimental patents.

We're currently looking to gauge interest from others who share a passion for protecting innovation and supporting open-source in the 3D printing community.
