Maybe the printer is trying to connect to a dead host? Do you have DNS logs besides blocked requests? How about capturing the traffic and figuring out what the printer is trying to connect to?

Assembly, which flavor IDK but some RISC architecture.

If everyone spoke assembly the world would be a very different experience. I’m not saying that it would be better or worse, but it’d definitely be different.

I hear you on the cost and everything else. I’ve updated my question to reflect this. Thanks for your input on the spiral mode, I’m going to look into getting my slicer to do that - presently I use cura 5.4.

I’m guessing I don’t need to tell you how dumb people are…

Take your average person, how dumb are they? Half the people out there are even worse off.

I played with the z-direction initially. Using PLA and making a 1mm thick cone with 0.2mm layers rendered a very unstable product, when laying the cones on the side. But 0.2mm was just a prototype, I’m going to go for something smaller, if I go forward.

Printing standing up, I can do it without support in PLA. Maybe the TPU will start to wobble when the bed moves and the cylinders are +200mm from the bed. Definitely something to play around with.

I agree with everything that you just said. Thanks for laying it out straight.

I’m going to look into buying the attachments. Yet again have I been too concerned with whether I could (and so on).

I might consider trying out making a single wand, when I get the actual flashlight. Both because I’m learning inventor and to test out TPU. Not knowing anything about the flashlight, the part about the yeti BBQ is worth remembering.

On a positive note, you’ll be able to buy different subscriptions, so it’s not a complete loss for you. The medical subscription for the probe, which will notify you if it spots any polyps or rectal cancer. Or a “recreational” subscription, where you can engage the vibrating bit that’s near to your prostate.

Oh the joy when you get a notification on your phone saying “what did we find in your rectum? Pay 50USD to find out” and it’s a piece of corn.

I have two issues with your comment, and the tldr is this “I don’t think the problem warrants the resources needed” and “I don’t think the proposed bill will solve anything, problem or not”.

These guns are increasingly being found at crime scenes.

Probably, I don’t have a source for that, but I suspect that you’re not wrong. What I would like to know is the proportions of gun grimes involving 3d-printed guns vs gun crimes in total. I suspect what others have said in this post, about the percentage of gun related crimes that involve 3d-printed guns, to be within a rounding error, to also be correct.

You may not like NY’s solution, […]

It’s not that I don’t like the “solution”. It’s that I don’t accept the proposed ban as being a solution in the first place. I don’t want to come off as being snarky, I just wanted to make sure that my understanding of the word “solution” was correct. English not being my first language, I sometime miss the salient details. So, I took a moment and googled “definition solution”. According to “Oxford Languages” a solution is a means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult situation.

Can you in all honesty claim, that you believe that limiting acquiring 3d-printing capabilities, in a single state, will reduce the use of 3d-printed parts in gun crimes?

[…] but the problem is growing.

Again, the occurrence of 3d-printed guns or gun parts may be growing, but is it actually a problem big enough that it has to be dealt with? And with the resources necessary to enforce this proposal? Isn’t gun manufacturing already limited? As others have pointed out, why not limit access to other tools you could use to make guns?

As OP pointed out, the intent may be noble, but the attempt is futile.

Routers and lathes, both CNC and manual … and calipers! The name sounds like something to do with bullets and they look like tiny machine guns.

In other news: virtue signaling politicians are considering banning [scary items that their core voters know nothing about] in order to appear tough on crime, while avoiding doing the logical things experts recommend, because that would look bad in the eyes of the voters. Instead the only consequence is extending the stigma related to excons resulting in greater recidivism

Googling 3d printed gun homicide returns a story from Rhode Island in 2020 (where the police can’t figure out if the gun was actually printed), an attempted murder in Reykjavík in 2022, and this story from 2022 that claims a total of 44 arrests were made related to 3d printed guns… world wide https://3dprint.com/291684/3d-printed-gun-arrests-tripled-in-less-than-two-years-3dprint-com-investigates/amp/

In contrast there were 48117 firearms related deaths in the US during the same period.

Maybe statistics and proportions should be a core part of math from an early age?

Yeah this is the internet, not lame stream media that lies to you. /r
