Copyright can only be enforced by the copyright holders of a work
(who, in principle, can allow any party to violate any term of the
license if they wish to do so).

Are you a copyright holder of Ender-3? If so, and if you are not a
lawyer yourself, get a lawyer involved, if you haven't yet. Don't
threaten to get a lawyer, don't wait before you do.

Is the FSF a copyright holder of Ender-3? If not, they cannot enforce
the license.

The correct thing to do for anyone other than the copyright holder,
when they see a violation, is, for those who are not the copyright
holders, to report it to the copyright holders, since they can enforce
it and they know if they gave any license exception to any party
(note: GIMP disagrees with me on this, but they also disagree with
making a public statement: https://www.gimp.org/about/selling.html).

The correct approach for the copyright holder is to get a lawyer
immediately, before anything else (before writing to the violator and
before making public statements, for sure) and then do whatever the
lawyer says.
