Being detained while an investigation is conducted is not being arrested.

How often are police tipped off before hand that someone is anticipating being SWATed though?

That situation is practically unheard of so it’s impossible to know how police in the US would respond.

Like others have commented, I think I spend more time tinkering or troubleshooting my Ender 3 than actually printing. I’ve had a lot of fun but it wouldn’t be my first choice.

I think I would look at the Prusa or Bamboo printers as they seem to work better out of the box.

I’m mostly focused on an msla printer these days though.

You can find best Linus stickers on Temu!

What is this about? Why do I feel shame?

Have you looked at OnShape? It’s browser based and cloud based (your models are open to the public if you use it for free) but it’s pretty solid for basic parametric 3d modeling. As well, it comes from an ex-Solidworks founder and feels very familiar but very limited.

I’m a Solidworks Certified Pro and would definitely use it myself, but I’m primarily on Windows so I’m always using Solidworks.

I respect their right to put pineapple pizza, but I’ll be damned if our pizzas are going to touch.

I suppose technically you could but it would be a hell of a lot of work and you’d need detailed drawings.

The 3d model already has all of the geometry and hole locations required from the manufacturer.

If you know your printer well, all you do is download the model, slice it and press play.

You don’t print the explody bits; you have to purchase things like the barrel and the trigger assembly.

However, I know an engineer at Sig Sauer who printed his own gun and he’s never fired it while holding it…so, still prone to eventual catastrophic failure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I didn’t mention it in my comment but you assume a lot of risk in a private party sale. We aren’t talking about illegal guns but ones that have been registered at some point in time if they aren’t historical.

If you want to sell a gun, you should go through an FFL to avoid liability.

What is this straw man fallacy you’re seeing? I haven’t made any arguments; I’m simply stating facts about how legal gun purchases work in the United States.

All retailers are required to have a Federal Fire Arms license and background checks are required for all purchases made through an FFL. That means all gun show purchases made through an FFL as well.

The “gun show loophole” is a political myth used by politicians on the left to describe a legal purchase through a private sale, which may or may not happen out in the parking lot of some gun show. But not through a licensed vendor.

How many perimeters did you use?

I found this Reddit post after a Google search.

I think you went too much on the stain from the get go. I’m finding I have to be patient between coats on all my PLA prints.

What type of stain did you use? I imagine it makes a difference considering the part is plastic.

Just don’t use school property for things you want to be private. It works the exact same way with anything owned by any organization you may work for in the future.

Why would you not separate personal devices from school devices? If you can afford a personal device, do so; it won’t be the last time.
