I wanted kids when I was younger, but wasn’t ready to give up my freedom. Once I was ready for kids the world (and the future in particular) looks so bleak that it doesn’t seem fair to the theoretical kiddo to say ‘hey, here’s a dumpster fire - good luck’. Instead I babysit for my friends and family, spoil the kids around me, and sleep in on the weekend. I also have more time for activism and trying to ensure a brighter future for kiddos.

No regrets.

There’s a difference between defending oneself and engaging in collective punishment and genocide. I am Jewish and the descendent of holocaust survivors. Not in my name.

Totally agree.

Moderating models for safety is a problematic idea. Prusa then bears liability in the event that a model fails. 3D printing works only because it’s the person who physically makes the print who has the ultimate responsibility to determine if it is safe and fit for purpose.

If you don’t like the competitions, don’t take part. Personally I view them as a nice way to encourage the community to share ideas.

When asked how many customers would be affected, the company said that while precise numbers are not yet available, up to four customers may be impacted. “I would like offer our sincere apologies to Aunt Sue, Uncle Frank, Mike, and Jodi.”

Yep - I made the model.

I’m going to dig through the slicer file and see if there’s anything wonky with the number of perimeters.

No infill, solid walls

Mind sorta blown - such a great explanation.

That looks like something out of KSP…
