    They sold 3D printers? Did they explode as-well?

      Isn’t extrusion a slow form of exploding?

        If the filament is humid enough, sure.

        Doesn’t exploding require combustion?

          No. A compressed air tank can explode from too much pressure.

      There are many many companies doing this. But the smart brands will use their name as a sort of stamp of 'this is actually a decent product" because the market is absolutely chock full of e-waste.

        yeah it’s true, but anker has been having a lot of recalls lately. And when the product costs 1/5 the price on aliexpress/baba then it might be worth it for some things.
