This is the emails between the YouTuber YGK3D and Anycubic, it seems like they won't send 3D printers to reviewers who mention their GPL3 license violations.

tl;dr Anycubic uses open-source software for their firmware, but doesn't make it public as per license agreement, and they don't seem to be friendly to anyone who calls this out.

Yes I do this of course, with maintenance I meant deep cleaning stuff, unscrewing panels, tightening belts, replacing gears etc.

Oh yeah,

You should maybe tighten the belts every 3-6 months or so (depending on your usage) and the extruder gears will wear out at some point
