https://youtu.be/BPqRx_RJcqA Sainsmart is claiming to have octoprint built in to the printer but the interface looks like ESP3D.

haha it seems they know what they sell https://www.sainsmart.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/sainsmart-infi-20-belt-3d-printer-infinite-z
ESP3D is visible in window ... wrong claim....
It show Marlin on ESP32 Board using ESP3DLib and ESP3D webUI

Foosel is not happy about the situation. Its not even difficult for these companies to reach out and ask you guys for permission.

yes I can understand that, it is why i put this note in read me:
If you use ESP3D on your product, drop me a message so I can link your product page here.
to stimulate the communication but....

I have added a comment under youtube video https://youtu.be/BPqRx_RJcqA to express ESP3D feedback also

They responded to Foosel after she sent an email to [email protected] with an apology and an explanation. They've also updated the listing on their website, apparently they added an ESP chip so ESP3D-WEBUI is included by default.

I don't think the marketing department properly understand how octoprint works. They're missing the steps for setting up octoprint and setting up the API key for octoremote. Users will probably have to supply their own raspberry pi and setup octoprint.

wow, thank you for sharing - how did you got so fast and precise information ?

So their main board is actually an ESP32 ? I am curious to know what based board is it - with or without IO expander, etc...

Yes some marketing are really not serious...
