  • I think my issue is practicality in testing. They have to have the print, and the printer. To test they likely need the file, modified with the same slicer settings as set originally. There are just so many factors, I have a hard time seeing them get all the required pieces, get them all in working order (especially the printer), then have the means to print the same thing in the same way. After all of that, now they have to measure some patterns and prove they’re the same across prints.

    I feel like the complexity of the problem introduces more chances for false positives, or just enough of a shift in how the printer is tuned, how the file is set up, etc to make the process unreliable at best.

    I guess we’ll see, but idk. A poor tool still has potential for abuse even if it doesn’t work as originally intended.


  • I’ve seen this before and I still don’t entirely buy it. If you’re talking about the pattern left by the nozzle rubbing the print, that will not be a reliable identifier.

    Most nozzles are brass. Soft metal. It wears down and the pattern in the plastic will change. Because they wear down anybody doing regular prints is gonna replace their nozzle from time to time. New pattern in the plastic.

    This is assuming they don’t change a new $2 brass nozzle, print a gun part, then toss the nozzle in the trash. Or the whole printer. My printer right now is probably $150 used at this point, if I was to sell it.

    Imo this isn’t gonna do much, and for the people who would do nefarious things it will be easily avoided.

    (This is ignoring changing print settings, nozzle diameter, filament type, print temp, etc)




  • This feels like a conspiracy theory. How many people would be in on the grift? How many do you think could know before it leaks? Opsec clean baybee.

    What’s the real benefit? A distraction? Flooding the zone doesn’t require the president’s greatest supporter monetarily speaking to call him a pedophile online. Is it meant to somehow increase traffic for them? Because I never went to Twitter, I just saw a lot of screenshots. How much can you really earn from a boost in user activity on twitter? It’s not really a financial cash cow right?

    I think it’s as simple as the two worst people you know finally realized they couldn’t fit both of their egos through the door today and shit finally hit the fan.


  • Yeah I agree with the other comments, domes are deceptive little shits to print the underside of. The layers tend to be undersized for the previous one as you get higher, and you quickly go past a reasonable angle for printing. At that point the rings you print are likely just barely touching the previous layer, and you get those separated rings that just get worse the higher up the dome you go.


  • I got mine a while ago, so they must have changed the firmware they have by default since then. Mine had some flavor of marlin with a super simple touchpad. Or maybe I have the 3 pro… Honestly, it’s been like 3 years and I still have to unpack the thing since moving, so I could be wrong on the exact model >.<

    Edit: I looked up the old receipt its the 3 pro sorry ;-;



  • I’ve only had the 4, but it serves me pretty well. I do have some issues with calibration sometimes but it’s pretty fixable with some tinkering. I think theferalengineer on youtube also has some videos about the neptune 3 and 4, he’s where I figured out how to put klipper on my 4 pro. Edit: I’m dumb I have the 3 pro sorry!









  • I had a whole thing earlier but was mistaken, the baby was 3 months old not a newborn. Either way, I still don’t doubt that fireworks could easily stress out a very young animal and be the tipping point of their health.

    I’m not sure what could motivate them to make a grand conspiracy against fireworks, rather than the more likely result of them being exhausted and frustrated caretakers who, like any pet owner, probably spent that evening trying to calm the panda down only to watch it panic until it died. Stress vomiting isn’t really rare for animals on the 4th of July. It’s just the extreme end of stress.
