Just search for 3d printer board. As just one example the SKR range of boards from Bigtreetech com without firmware.
Most consumer printers these days come with open source firmware on them. For example the Ender series, or all creality printers, all Prusa printers, etc.
Bambulabs is just one of the very few examples that run a closed source firmware.
I see what you’re saying, thanks. They come with firmware, but it’s open source. What I’m saying is it’s not hard to imagine a scenario where governments say “for public safety, we now require every manufacturer to modify their firmware to include this fingerprinting” And even in that scenario individuals could still probably manage to install clean versions. But it becomes much more of a nuisance and the most common arrangement would be people deciding it’s not worth the hassle.
