"Open Printer will use the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 4.0 [Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike] license for all of its files,"

That isn't an open source licence....

While the firmware could be using a classic software license, in the hardware world these licenses don't mean much. Afaik Creative Commons licenses are what's generally used for open hardware

Non commercial means nobody else can sell it, so even if you print one for a friend you can't legally recoup the costs from them

So your friend buys all the components and a case of beer (or non alcoholic equivalent) and asks you to help assemble it?
