My friend, you are technically correct.

Which is the best kind of correct.

I think that it’s a reasonable license for them to protect their business while continuing to provide full access to the community. The single user would still be able to modify or even build their own clone, but a private company would not be able to just sell a copy.

In an ideal world where money did not exist this would be detrimental to innovation, but in the real world Prusa needs to make money to stay in business. And considering their competitors, I would much prefer them to stay in the business and as much ahead of the competition as possible.

I’ve had my old macbook for twelve years and the whole time it held up punching well above its spec range and running heavy loads. I customized it deeply. Never had to reformat, which instead I had to do more or less once a year on my previous Windows computers. Whenever I asked it to jump it asked how high. I don’t think longevity argument has merit, at least for computers.

Sorry, I formulated that badly. They used to be legal up until the 70s or 80s.

Of course, I never intended to imply that a plastic knife would not be dangerous

If you were to bring a letter opener to school and sell it to your friends you would still get a nice meeting with the police. The existence of the journal article is more related to the fact that a kid was stabbed to death in school last week, than to the fact that a dumb kid did something stupid and marginally related to his 3d printer.

Afaik, all one hand operation deployment knives are illegal to carry in Italy. Ballisongs/butterfly knives included.

I’m not sure if there are special licenses that would allow you to carry them.

Afaik, all single hand operation deployment knives are illegal in Italy. It’s somewhat of a nonsensical rule when there are teenagers stabbing themselves with kitchen knives, but still…

It’s not because they are 3d printed. He was distributing them at school! That is the problem.

If he were to file down toothbrushes and do the same he would still be arrested and his files confiscated.

Wow, that is absolutely mind-blowing. I never expected it to work with such complex designs! Mind sharing some tips or examples of how you accomplished this? I’m really curious about the notes around the ring

Maybe, but it would be more or less in line with consoles. I would be surprised if it was much more.

If the price point is around 500$/€ I think it would be challenging to build a good pc for less than that

WoW for me. Interacting with other people helped me learn a lot faster.

It is getting better, but I still get crashes in 1.0. I feel like there are some specific tools and features that are a lot more prone to crashes and others that are quite solid. I had crashes in particular with the thickness tool and some joins in the assembly workbench.

They could go for more double A games. Still more budget than indies, not as risky or innovative, but not as big of an investment as AAA. Studios could work on new IPs in shorter cycles and smaller games, and eventually release big AAA sequels to the successful ones.

Supports for some plastic led strips, to mount them to the wall.

Of course you could. In most editions there is the alternative silk rope that weighs a lot less but costs more.

Working with the rules and your gm you could also make/buy magical rope that does what you say. Or a bag that infinitely spews out rope. Or something similar.

It is not like carrying weights is that big of an issue in most games.

Looking at the strength of climbing gear this source indicates a modern climbing rope holds around 5500lbf.

From The Engineering Toolbox , manila hemp rope that can hold around that weight should be between 3/4 in and 13/16 in, or for the other europeans between 18 and 20mm.

This corresponds to a weight between 0.159 and 0.186 lbm/ft. For 50ft that is between 8lb and 9.3lb.

I say that 10lb is close enough.

I hate that there is not a good alternative to InDesign that works on linux.

If only the Affinity suit were to work on linux, even just with wine, I would be alright with the fact that it still is proprietary software. It was somehow able to replace my whole Ph/Ai/Id workflow but it is till keeping me from trying to switch to the penguin.

FreeCAD is getting better but it would really benefit for a big improvement in stability and UX
