agree, that's what I initially thought... since I am not making a profit nor reselling should be ok.
Be mindful that it really doesn't depend on if profit is being made, but if there are "damages" being done.
For instance, say that you printing something just for you, but there is a licensed version of that exact same product already out there. By you doing it yourself, you are cutting into their ability to make money of that sale. If you do it for a buddy (you didn't say that you were, I'm just mentioning this as an example), again, no profit (bare in mind not getting profit doesn't mean that you aren't being compensated for materials etc), then that's another sale that they aren't getting. That's not even getting into the quality of what was done on yours versus the licensed version etc.
I'm not saying that I agree with how things are being done (or that I disagree), but it really doesn't depend on if there is a profit motive or not. Now a profit motive may make it more likely that you'll get caught, but that doesn't mean that in of itself, that without it you couldn't get into trouble. Then got to think about who has the money to fight it, regardless if right or wrong?
