E-Leveler Cloned (Patreon)

My Filament Friday E-Leveler was cloned by Geeetech. The same company that has worked with me to promote their printers in the past.

But in this case they didn’t contact me and just took my design and copied it. Worse is that I can tell by the components used in this simple design, that users won’t get reliable results.

I tried contacting them via my contacts from the printer reviews but got no response. I then posted to Twitter and wow, did people come to support.

Fortunately Geeetech saw the response and is now talking to me about next steps.

I didn’t patent this simple design, and maybe I should have but my main concern is that people will buy a clone and then still not get a level bed and blame my design or worse give up on 3D Printing.

So lesson learned. I also will be far more protective of future ideas and probably only share the details here on Patreon/CHEPCLUB.com in the future.
