Oof. For mainland Chinese PSUs these are decent and reliable units. They're also a key manufacturer of magnetic and power semiconductor devices used all over the place. You can stop selling their products per se but you can't purge every trace of the company from the supply chain instantly like that. Changing to Taiwanese PSUs would be nice but realistically that's just absolutely not going to happen. They'll pick someone else from China or find another way. Usually there is a good reason someone lands on that sanction list though... Usually... it's difficult to say with 100% confidence. I wonder what the reach of sanctions is. CUI appears to sell identical PSUs potentially manufactured by Mornsun, but... you aren't having any business dealings with Mornsun and there is no branding either. Also fully assembled devices, any business dealing involved that would benefit Mornsun which is a sanctioned entity is basically in the past. Given CUI is plenty big themselves, i'm sure they'll cut ties with Mornsun pronto and will source elsewhere in the near future, to avoid follow on sanctions. There is certainly going to be a price hike situation going on with one of the major suppliers going away, maybe some scalper induced scarcity or the like.

Great videos! I'm learning a lot as I watch them. Sadly, the plugs for LTT merch didn't age well.

So, if we have a Bambu lab printer currently is it wrong or bad to use it or is it ok to continue use? Thx

If you've already bought one of those PS's, or already have them in stock, I would think that you can still sell them as the damage has been done, Morison has already been paid for that item. You just can't buy anymore from the company, and shipments from that company can be seized by customs. IOW I think that Digikey can sell what stock they have already paid for. Ditto for anyone else.

Why do i even follow this channel, the guy is clearly of his meds

They’ll have to pry my printer’s PSU from my cold dead hands!!!

Why did this have to come out 4 days after I ordered a Beacon ;_;

Good thing we are NOT persons, we're the people. Persons are corporations (or corporate trusts) when the word is used by a corporation (including government).

my 8 yo kid loves pokemon cards. He doesn't even play it, he just like collecting and trading 'em. My older 11 yo has grown out of it already.

Sanctions are like reverse _______, albeit top down from the bankers.

"pobodie's nerfect"??

anybody know how many kilos this took?

Even if it did, I gives :)

Sanctions are all crap. They NEVER punish the war criminals, only those who are just trying to exist at some decent level. Also the level of hypocrisy is off the charts when it's decided who gets sanctioned for what. Most people just want to do the electronics thing without breaking the bank.

Nice tshirt :)

he handles them in a really scary way. how lethal are these?

I'd expect this to get worse as China continues to be best buds with Russia. Which is a moronic move, given the Chinese economy is in pretty rough shape and really needs that trade with North America / United States to be intact. Most countries have sided with the West, to support Ukraine and oppose Russia. But there's a handful out there that do their own thing, such as Turkey. That said, Biden also raised tariffs on various Chinese products, which hurts the consumer more than China - we just pay more for those items. That's why tariffs are generally viewed more as a tax on consumers. The lesson here is less reliance on China, be it electronics or other things, which is why there's been massive investment here for new facilities for chip manufacturing and more. The notion of NAFTA and free world trade has been a painful lesson - we farmed out most of our manufacturing overseas and now we are seeing what a strategic and security nightmare that is.

This might be a stupid question, but I tried connecting a smaller UPS and it was highly problematic. If I recall accurately, even with the two printers turned off, in the morning the batteries would be dead and the GFCI outlets tripped. I tried another UPS and the same thing happened with it. I tried printing with one connected and they would trip the outlets and run off of the battery till the battery was dead.

Wow, I finally have a use for my Cr10-s5! This is insane..

This gives an indication as to why the recall of Bambu A1 heatbeds fixes has been stopped by the consumer protection authority. Hurt the owner of A1s because the government can.

Just checked Best Buy and they are no longer selling bambu or creality printers on their site. Micro center seems to still have them on their site though.

….please tell me Sovol is using something else

Looks like I won't be able to re-sell my SV08 without first replacing the power supply. I've contacted Sovol asking if they plan to reduce the price of my machine by an appropriate amount. Will cancel my order if they won't.

Yikes. My Siboor Voron 0.2 has a Mornsun power supply. Bought it two years ago now, but still…….

We’re not talking about private people selling their printer, we’re talking about companies that sell them… but basically, it’s going to come down to when it was bought/sold. The worst thing that will happen to you, your ordered printer will be late, you aren’t going to jail and government agents aren’t coming to your door because you placed an order that has a banned power supply. The ONLY thing that this type of video will do is lead to wild stories (lies) and paranoid conspiracy theories.

Could you use a type C connector or do those mount in a different way that isn't compatible? Seeing micro usb just rubs me the wrong way these days

If you're Canadian, then US laws don't mean much to you unless you cross the border.

It’s not a “situation” between Russia and Ukraine. It’s a full blown war, the largest one in Europe after WWII. Down playing it to a “situation” is at the very least tone deaf to the hundreds of thousands of lives lost there. I’ll let you decide if that’s disrespectful or not.

MMmmm banned PSU ?) - give me few.....thousands ! )))) "Sucksions" frkngmorons....

As a Application Engineer for DigiKey it is a lot work right now to find suitable substitutes for our customers. We really try our best. 💪

For those who think this is a hassle, Yantai Iray Technology Co Ltd is amongst the sanctioned list. They go by a more common Western brand name 'InfiRay''; they produce image intesifer tube and thermal imager which have obvious military usage.

Kinda sad that they used "Panda" for Bamboo printers, but it makes sense.

I don't build printers and was still impressed with that lineup of products. They are very much building what gets requested.

Doesn't US citizens and companies still allowed to buy it all? Moreover allowed to buy russian products directly? US just banned "buying russian and so colled supporters products" everyone except themselves?

ChatGPT4 on this matter: If Mornsun, a Chinese company, is indeed listed under Executive Order 14024, then importing products like 3D printers that include components from this company would be prohibited under U.S. sanctions. This would be a significant issue for compliance, especially since most sanctions not only prohibit direct imports but also any dealings that involve transferring, paying, exporting, withdrawing, or otherwise dealing in the properties or interests in properties of the designated entities or individuals. To manage compliance in this situation, you should take the following steps: 1. **Confirm Listing**: Double-check the most current version of the sanctions list to confirm Mornsun's inclusion. This can be verified through the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) website or other official government publications. 2. **Halt Transactions**: Immediately stop any pending or planned transactions involving products or components from Mornsun until further clarity or legal advice can be obtained. 3. **Seek Legal Advice**: Consult with legal experts specializing in international trade law and sanctions compliance. They can provide guidance on the next steps, such as potential licensing exceptions or what to do with existing inventory. 4. **Review and Strengthen Compliance Programs**: Review your company’s compliance programs to ensure they are robust enough to identify and prevent transactions that may violate U.S. sanctions. Given the complexity of sanctions and the serious consequences of non-compliance, including substantial fines and legal action, taking immediate and informed action is crucial.

They should reliable the power supplies. If it says goo joo power then it’s not on the list. Same for Goodluck Power etc…..

A big huge nothing burger… The literal same exact identical power supply design is sold in the US, & will continue to be sold in the US by Meanwell. This exact switching power supply design is as copied & commoditized as Ender 3 clones.

I don't care who made the power supply if the government shows up i will charge them the same amount as they charge tax payers for toilet seats. I think the .gov wed site said something like 20k a seat🤣😂

Maybe the second hand printers are going up, if no new bamboo can come in.

This is the world’s tiniest problem.

the only thing this will do is give these companies a reason to jack up their prices

I’ve been on the fence buying a voron and tonight I’m buying my kit. I don’t want to miss out because of the great power supply shortage of 2024… I was gonna buy in the next few days but now it’s tonight.

I wonder if all this means print farms in Canada will become more viable vs in the States alongside other duties and tarrifs in the states.

Nice explanations, looks very neat! What do you do with the bathwater afterwards?

Would be kind of funny if all the companies that used those parts just decide to stop selling to people in the USA or add a USA version that's more expensive.

Can't see how this could apply to internal parts like PSUs. Where would it stop - resistors, screws etc..? I bet we'll see products from China with PSUs relabelled with product manufacturer's own branding, or just labels removed at some point though.

lol talk about throwing the spanner Taylor lol weapons of mass destruction lol

I had this issue with upgrades I was selling out of Australia, not power supply related, but micro controllers, WiFi and Bluetooth gear, even filament raised flags when I exported, also anything that is considered "dual use"

The Chinese will just slap a different label on the PSU's. Problem solved.

no, diy your own 3d printer from china
