Terrible US Manufacturing Stories! (Also Labubu is Suing Bambu) | Slant 3D Podcast 145

In this episode we’re telling some real stories about the weird, frustrating, and sometimes downright stupid things that happen inside manufacturing.From suppliers refusing orders, to companies still asking for faxed checks, to defense contractors using software that feels like it came from the 90s — we break down the kinds of problems that slow down production and make building products harder than it should be.We also talk about the lawsuit where Pop Mart is going after Bambu Lab over Labubu copycats, and what that might mean for the future of consumer 3D printing.If you’ve ever tried to build something, source materials, or deal with suppliers… you’ll probably recognize a few of these stories.
