In the name of "safety", these assholes (print&go) are trying to get their spyware baked into everyone's 3d printers.

Maybe that sounds paranoid to some (who haven't been paying attention to things like Ring cameras), but keep in mind, this is a corporation with stockholders. If they can include their code into your net connected machine, then they can update it to upload the camera feed. Now all it takes is someone willing to pay.

Maybe you're printing guns, maybe you're printing dildos, maybe you're just printing figurines of trademarked characters. I'm sure Disney won't expect a licensing fee for that adorable Grogu you just printed for your neice.

I moved to a new instance, here's my re-

Hello people. I'm Ari, although I'm better known by my nick APz or apzpins in the social media.

I'm an IT guy by day, dedicating my free time to keep alive. My hobby has turned from owning a single game at home to an full of them over the years. Originally a very active tournament player, but in the past years I've been leaning more and more to the restoration and maintenance of the games. I especially love early solid state pins.

I'm a very -spirited person, often having to come up with creative ways to fix something that's been long obsolete. I do a lot of , tabletop and 'ing, among other things.

In addition to pinball machines, I'm into mechanical and video arcade games, , owning plenty of machines from Commodore, Atari, PCs and old servers.

I run a instance to archive my Youtube stuff at https://video.apz.fi/

I mostly post in English, but I'll reply in other languages where I can, I can do and conversational .

I love animals and I often post pictures of my whisker faces.

After far too long without painting for fun, because of unemployment and because exterminators need access to the baseboards, I am, at long last, back on my bullshit.

We keep prototyping our Forest in a Box and we’re now at stage 0.2. The first iteration felt much more like a contemplative object than an actual game, so we began adjusting the balance by removing some animals and introducing new elements with clearer play potential. Next, we’ll focus on defining the sizes and relationships between the pieces.

pro tip:

You don't need to keep buying silica gel for your filament dryers!

Just drop a full packet once and you’ll be finding little orange beads in your workshop for the rest of your life. So easy!

I had my first 3D printing failure. It was my fault, though. I broke it while trying to remove the supports. It printed beautifully otherwise.

I just need to learn how to work with supports better.

from https://makerworld.com/en/models/1181642-small-two-tone-whistle#profileId-1192022 which comes highly recommended by other folks printing whistles

these are pretty small, which means they print faster

How to make a troll diorama
Step one - start with a sphere
Step two - move the sphere around and add others until you have a troll
Step three - print it
Step four - leave it on your desk for a year and a half
Step 4.5 - watch LOTR extended edition again
Step five - paint it
Step six - make a little scene

Apparently the Washington state legislature has decided the best way to protect you under current circumstances is to make your 3d printer (and CNC machine, etc, etc) spy on you so you can't print anything dangerous!

I don't care how you feel about gun control, making your devices spy on you is not an acceptable solution.

Washington residents should call their reps. They may not be particularly useful, but at least they can be told not to make everything worse!

Hey Washington, there's a profoundly bad law making its way through the state level.

This law, will require ALL 3d printers to send copies of the files you print directly to the government to be check against a database of "banned shapes".

Literally turning your 3d printer into spyware. And if you don't voluntarily turn your printer into a spy, you will be a class C Felon.

This law affects ALL CNC machines, not just 3dps.

New 3D Printer use unlocked: Recently, I was playing with my nephew with his Brio trains, and I was frustrated that I couldn’t get the track layout I wanted to work with the pieces he had. I was looking at track packs online when it hit me, I can make any piece I want! With a little learning and a little work, I can make any piece I can think of!

I wish I’d had this when my son was little and playing with those trains.
