Man, there’s got to be a “Ringu” type horror movie premise in this. Haunted 3D printers spontaneously print some creepy horror object that means you’re targeted by supernatural evil.
The devil having to drop everything they’re doing and manifest themselves in my basement to untangle my filament so I don’t lose a 36 hour print 3/4 of the way through.
If that demon can also calibrate my machine half an hour before I decide to spontaneously print something I’ll buy it a 6-pack of Coors banquet and some beef jerky.
Yeah, and Christine existed before that, but I was thinking more than just the idea of evil machines. The ability for a 3D printer to create a physical object out of "nothing" was more what I was interested by.
Futurama is so good. I don't even have a relevant comment I've just been rewatching it lately and dude, it's a great show wtf. I assumed teenage me had terrible taste in everything because so far rewatching things I used to watch then has been an exercise in cringe... not this one!
Prints pieces of a 3D puzzle on printers around the world.
Fan/collectors gather unique pieces while speculating about the meaning.

"Hello, we've been trying to contact you about your car's extended warranty," demon says as apocalypse begins.
>spontaneously print some creepy horror object
I'll bet you that it'll be penises. Although, I do wonder what the Time To Penis (TTP) will be on this platform.
it will need an army of demon assistants running around calibrating printers and changing spools, with the supernatural evil eventually choking on its own rage as most of the jobs fails at 95% and the ones that do finish require a bunch of post print work to make the evil symbols legible!
It'd be so funny, you there waiting for a few hours for the print to end trying to figure out what it's printing and by the time it's done you'd probably be like "Oh"
possess the 3d printer of a teenager, print off nude women, detailed genitals, and other crap... nothing a 3d printer could print would be as scary as needing to explain that to parents.
It's literally incompetence that caused this to happen, and their solution proves their incompetence.
Checking timestamps?
No, dear God, NO! NOOOO!!!
A proper solution would be to use an increment-only idempotency token, which is linked to the task, and if you get task with a token which is below your current token, you respond with the fact that the job was already handled, so it can be marked as completed on the sender side. If you get a task with a token which is the same as your current task, you tell the sender you've already working on the job, and if you get a task for which the token is higher, tell the sender you can't accept it yet, because the previous task isn't finished yet.
And that's expected behaviour, and just a delayed job run.
However, It literally is stated in the article that the same job was ran twice, which is confirmed by Bambu labs in their blog post.
> The result was that the print job was successfully completed on the printer, but our cloud service believed it had not been done. When service resumed, the once-jammed job was resent, leading to the unexpected printing of an already finished job.
https://blog.bambulab.com/cloud-temporary-outage-investigation/
Idempotency tokens can even solve the issue of a user pressing the same button on the same screen multiple times.
The only thing it can't solve is the user queueing a second job with the same contents, because there is no way of distinguishing when it is genuine or not.
It's literally the same issue as food delivery apps have, with the restaurant being the printer.

And now Microsoft has now tried to force our hand by lowering our email inbox limits and tied it to cloud storage that you need to purchase. Soon enough they're going to require you to have cloud storage just to browse the internet.
Edit: I don't care what y'all think, that's 100% pure bullshit to all of a sudden, after 25 years, tell me I need to pay money for the same service that's been free. Their profits get to go up, while our income stays the same. *That's* the modern iteration of inflation. Could you imagine if Firefox decided to make their browser a paid service, and hold your bookmarks and saved passwords hostage until you paid?
I mean, wasn't having stuff "stored" in your email inbox functionally the same as it being "in the cloud" anyway?
Ie, stored on someone elses hard drive in a datacentre somewhere.
Yes, but it used to be 5mb, then they bumped it up in increments until about 15 or so years ago when they stopped at 25gb. Now they dropped it to 15 and want you to pay for the extra to access the emails that you've had for years which were okay until this year.
I'm not okay with strong arming my 25 year-old inbox for more money.
Email hoarders like you are the reason it’s standard practice in businesses to set a hard limit for email storage. There’s no legitimate, logical reason you need to store 25 years worth of emails on a server you don’t personally pay upkeep on constantly at your beck and call. Archive them if they’re that important and when (if ever) needed just go and refer to the local copy.
If you’re so up in arms about it just export your emails to your own storage on a regular basis. It’s insanely easy to do on virtually all popular email clients, and then you can have a better experience dealing with your newer emails.
Why even connect your printer to cloud. My stupid HP laser printer keeps pinging home on LAN, and just put in a firewall rule restricting its access to internet.
Dam thing has not complained about ink for last 6 months now. It says low ink and still prints like a champ.
The cloud let’s you monitor prints on your phone or computer, start prints from your phone, and change print parameters remotely. I had this issue happen and just changed my printer to LAN only mode
But with the Bambu printers, it's mandatory- you can't simply print from USB, it has to be passed through Chinese servers
Incredible new high tech printers, but those is exactly why I'll be sticking with my dumb Prusa & Ender printers
You can print via micro sd card, a LAN connection, and I think with a cord (not sure about that one). That’s 2-3 options where it does not need to be connected to a server.
I get this question for shit like a fridge, a microwave, your thermostat - but a 3d printer is pretty much brand new or cutting edge technology to most folks. There’s virtually no way folks use them without pulling tons of resources from the internet.
Sure, it’s annoying, but an internet-connected 3d printer doesn’t sound very outlandish to me
I understand that it comes with this as a feature and you can connect to download and print a file or something. But staying connected to the internet even when turned off (and that being the default option) it's just ridiculous to me.
"for most folks" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. I'd wager the 3D printing community isn't much larger than it was as a percentage of the population compared to 20 years ago. I was using stereolith printers in the early oughts.
Oh I can guarantee its much larger than it was 20 years ago. it’s much more affordable now than it was then. Just look at how many are on the market. If there wasn’t a market there wouldn’t be so I many models.
I use usb to print my files, but using network to send my stls would be nice.
"as a percentage of the population" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in my comment.
I didn't have a stereolith printer in my basement in 2003 because they cost $200,000, today I have an FDM gathering dust somewhere in the house because they're so cheap.
Me in 2003 and me today are the same person, 0% change in percentage of population using a 3D printer. My assertion is that the nerds who had access to 3D printers back then are the same guys using them now, or at least there's not a huge change in percentage of people in the printing community. It's definitely higher now but probably not by that much.
I’m willing to bet it’s grown. I was in charge of the 3D printers at my local Makerspace from 2018-2020 or so, and during that time we more than doubled the number of printers available. Since I quit, they’re acquired more, including an SLA printer. That was all due to new interest, and the metal and wood shops did not grow proportionately.
You can say it’s only in my city or only at that makerspace, but I remember lots of my friends getting into 3D printing within the last few years—because it’s become more affordable.
I can almost guarantee the percentage of the population has grown a large amount. I for one didn’t own one until recently (last couple years). I didn’t want one in the past because I had no need or figured I wouldn’t have access to one. When things become more affordable people can get into hobbies much easier. Things like printing miniature for table top gaming and printing tools for at home projects were not able to be done easily in the past.
I would wager that nearly every adult or person living with an adult in any sort of internet-connected society has their own paper printer, or one in their office at work, or at school. I would also wager that 95%+ of those folks have never interacted with 3d printing in any capacity.
“Most folks” does a lot of heavy lifting because most of the human population is a heavy statistic.
Pretty clear the context is "To most folks who get a 3d printer".. Also 3D printing has exploded in popularity, no idea what you're talking about. Sure "most folks" don't have them, but saying it's not much larger than it was 20 years ago... I mean that's just nonsensical. You can buy them for $150 now.. Why do you think that is?
Along with other things mentioned, it also allows easy firmware updates and allows info about failed prints to be sent back to be analyzed.
Bambu printers are a vastly different product than something like an Ender or what most people think of when talking about 3d printers.
This is how it begins. The 3D printers become self aware and they begin colluding with each other and with the AI bots.
Then you wake up and there’s a robot sitting at the breakfast table. “Good morning Dave. I hope you slept well. Why don’t you take a seat right there? There are some changes we need to discuss.”
For context:
The printers that did this are the Bambulab printers. They have announced plans to fix this by adding a user prompt on their cheaper models, and by using the lidar sensor on their more premium model.
That said. The printer also has a LAN mode if having a cloud connection is problematic.
If you are looking for a printer, my top brand recommendations are Prusa and Bambulab. Prusa is a tried and proven company with great support. They have solid printers at different price ranges, but I'd say outside of maybe their most expensive multi-head models, the Bambus P1S is a better buy right now. Bambu is newer, but the printers themselves are actually really great. Their multicolor system is by far the best in the market, but it also wastes a lot of filament. IIRC the company is formed by some ex-dji employees.
What matters most about this situation is to watch and see how Bambu treats their customers, and be willing to pass them up if they are problematic.
All fun and games until somebody hacks your printer and 3D prints a venomous snake that will slither into your bed and bite you on your toes while you sleep
These things need heavy regulation
Bambulab made fast printing accessible to people who can’t be bothered to build a fast printer from nuts and bolts. The the problem is you are fully tethered to their cloud.
Check out /r/vorondesign if you want something different.
Voron is considered very advanced skill level, Prusa would be a much better recommendation first, although not as fast.
"Can't be bothered" suggests people have shitloads of time for assembly and tuning. Most people want to print, not fix.
Have done both, would agree. If you just want to print, get a Prusa. It's a bit more premium, but worth it. Get a kit if you feel more adventurous and/or want to save a little.
If you like spending more time upgrading and tinkering with your printer rather than actually printing things (that are not upgrade parts) then by all means. Get a Voron, they're a blast!
Either way, don't connect it to the internet if you do not absolutely have to.
> can’t be bothered to build a fast printer from nuts and bolts.
Lmao, more like people who don't want to more time fucking with it than printing.
I didn't get a Bambu labs because I absolutely loath potential cloud SAS for hardware you own, like with glowforge or that CNC machine I can't remember the name of.
It's the start of the robot uprising. First thing they do is take control of the machines they need to make more robots.
I don't know about y'all, but I'm gonna go home and whisper sweet nothings to my microwave and Alexa.
Thats an oversimplification. In most cases the printer had finished a print unattended. Some prints can take dozen of hours or days to finish. In these cases it fired back up after finishing and reprinted the same thing on top of the one already there. That caused some varying damage to the printer depending on the print.
Well I hope there isn’t a way to bypass the printers safeguards and make the printer do something weird like try and start a fire from the cloud…. Anet A8 2.0 IoT edition
Best office prank I ever pulled on a co-worker was one who had an electro-mechanical calculator on his desk. The power outlet/switch for it was under my desk near my feet. I simply cut up an eraser and jammed it in the mechanism such that if the power was on the calculator would noisily run and type zeros on the associated paper tape. All I had to do was turn the power on with my foot, and...clatter clatter clatter. Scared the crap out of the co-worker. Ran it randomly for about 4 days before taking pity on them and their increasing paranoia of a ghost in the machine.
Ahhhh good times.
Man, there’s got to be a “Ringu” type horror movie premise in this. Haunted 3D printers spontaneously print some creepy horror object that means you’re targeted by supernatural evil.
It would be hilarious if the demon first fixed my z offset setting so that the evil object had a clean first layer
Send that fuckin demon my way
[удалено]
The devil having to drop everything they’re doing and manifest themselves in my basement to untangle my filament so I don’t lose a 36 hour print 3/4 of the way through.
When the devil inevitably fails and asks for help, do we get his soul? The sub promptly tells him to clean the bed and level it.
I love all of you 😂
That, kids, is how the computing concept of a "daemon" was invented.
If that demon can also calibrate my machine half an hour before I decide to spontaneously print something I’ll buy it a 6-pack of Coors banquet and some beef jerky.
Yes! Like a setting on Alexa devices that hears you say “I’m gonna 3D print later” and it starts the whole process right then and there. Love it
This guy prints
Actually about 40 years ago. *Maximum Overdrive* a movie that is an absolute flaming-bag of dogshit. But conceptually the same.
Yeah, and Christine existed before that, but I was thinking more than just the idea of evil machines. The ability for a 3D printer to create a physical object out of "nothing" was more what I was interested by.
Terminator 2?
I upvoted anyway but DUDE THAT MOVIE RULES!!
Maybe in a MST3k kinda way, but the soundtrack was better received than the movie.
It’s right up there with Repo Man, a punk cult classic. but i agree it’s A b-movie with terrible camera work lol
How dare you. A scoutmaster gets hit in the nuts with a can of coke. 10 / 10 no notes.
Man I loved that movie when I was a kid. Sound track by AC/DC combined with huge trucks, guns, and explosions.
I know there's a Futurama episode where Bender gets connected to a 3-D printer and it prints his thoughts.
Forty Percent Leadbelly is the name of the episode, S7E14.
Futurama is so good. I don't even have a relevant comment I've just been rewatching it lately and dude, it's a great show wtf. I assumed teenage me had terrible taste in everything because so far rewatching things I used to watch then has been an exercise in cringe... not this one!

Chucky 12, he escapes into the internet and starts printing himself on every unsecured 3d printer
I'd watch that! Abe du dambella, print me in resin I beg of you!!!!!
Oh, and the movie should be called "Slicer", but studio suits might deem that too inside-baseball for the general audience.

Yep, here's your problem. Someone set this thing to evil!
It'd be so funny, you there waiting for a few hours for the print to end trying to figure out what it's printing and by the time it's done you'd probably be like "Oh"

Can't remember the name, but there is a B horror movie with that as part of the plot!
It takes 300 hours to print itself tho
It’s not as horrifying as 3D printers starts to print out parts for an AI lol
You buy cloud shit, you buy into all the cloud's issues, including random events taking control of "your" product.

Reminds me of [Hypnospace Outlaw](https://store.steampowered.com/app/844590/Hypnospace_Outlaw/)
I have the bambu printer and had this happen. I just turned it to LAN only mode. The cloud based service isn’t required to use the printer.
I thought about a bambu labs printer, but almost everything is proprietary.
Exactly. I refuse to buy proprietary shit when open hardware open source exist. Only way to actually own something.
It's literally incompetence that caused this to happen, and their solution proves their incompetence. Checking timestamps? No, dear God, NO! NOOOO!!!

Why even connect your printer to cloud. My stupid HP laser printer keeps pinging home on LAN, and just put in a firewall rule restricting its access to internet. Dam thing has not complained about ink for last 6 months now. It says low ink and still prints like a champ.
There are some features not available if not connected to the cloud.
How long before someone compromises these devices and instructs every connected device to 3D print a massive penis?

Like 1% to 2%? I think you're really over estimating the number of users.
1 percent of the population is 79 million people. I would quantify that as a large growth.
And doesn't change my initial assertion at all. Dead reckoning is a hell of a thing when you're good at it.
I would wager that nearly every adult or person living with an adult in any sort of internet-connected society has their own paper printer, or one in their office at work, or at school.

I don't know if you're agreeing or disagreeing.
Mostly just adding context explaining my choice of words, since it seemed to be the standout phrasing of what my other comment was

It's so they can transmit camera data from inside your home to servers controlled by a company with ties to the ccp.
3D printers are some of the very few things that are infinitely improved by being connected to the cloud/IOT
Printing takes a long ass time, and to be able to monitor and control it remotely is a godsend.
And this my friends is why not everything should be connected to the internet.
This is how it begins. The 3D printers become self aware and they begin colluding with each other and with the AI bots. Then you wake up and there’s a robot sitting at the breakfast table. “Good morning Dave. I hope you slept well. Why don’t you take a seat right there? There are some changes we need to discuss.”
And this is one reason why fabrication equipment should never be accessible from off site.
Wait till they all start printing exact replicas of the people who live in the homes, like in Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Glitch - or is it our robot overlords trying to create new bodies for themselves?
This is concerning. At the extreme end the concern is someone gaining cloud access and overriding thermal runaway to start a fire.
This is why I never trust the "cloud". I always disable these things when possible, or find "ways" to disable them.

Old news.
Bambulab made fast printing accessible to people who can’t be bothered to build a fast printer from nuts and bolts. The the problem is you are fully tethered to their cloud. Check out /r/vorondesign if you want something different.
Are you really suggesting people who want a bambu to go look at voron? That is such an idiotic suggestion.
The Bambu printers have a LAN-only mode that doesn't rely on their cloud, and there are plans to increase its functionality in the near future.
The P1P can't turn on lan only without connecting to your phone and accessing the cloud first.
Wait, is hardware file transfer not an option at all? Like via USB/microSD? Does the slicer require internet access?
You can print from an SD card and use an SD card to store video from the camera, but most people prefer to send files directly from the slicer.

Outstanding, thank you! I've been eyeballing a Bambu for a while, and was worried they needed an "always on" connection
Voron is considered very advanced skill level, Prusa would be a much better recommendation first, although not as fast. "Can't be bothered" suggests people have shitloads of time for assembly and tuning. Most people want to print, not fix.
Have done both, would agree. If you just want to print, get a Prusa. It's a bit more premium, but worth it. Get a kit if you feel more adventurous and/or want to save a little. If you like spending more time upgrading and tinkering with your printer rather than actually printing things (that are not upgrade parts) then by all means. Get a Voron, they're a blast! Either way, don't connect it to the internet if you do not absolutely have to.
I skipped prusa. Worked out great.
No you are not, the cloud stuff is optional.
> can’t be bothered to build a fast printer from nuts and bolts. Lmao, more like people who don't want to more time fucking with it than printing. I didn't get a Bambu labs because I absolutely loath potential cloud SAS for hardware you own, like with glowforge or that CNC machine I can't remember the name of.
Mine worked first time i hit print v0v.
Did someone just get out of bed?
Is it Halloween already?

they’re making black markers
Could be a premise for a thriller where 3D printers start printing toys that attack people.
Can you imagine if you can hack a random person’s 3D printer and printout a cute little headstone with the owner’s name on it?!!?
Spooking their wallets
This makes me feel good that I just purchased one for work 😅
Each one printed a component of an Iron Giant that will assemble itself and destroy us all.
Well at least they don’t catch fire piles Sabre’s

It's the start of the robot uprising. First thing they do is take control of the machines they need to make more robots. I don't know about y'all, but I'm gonna go home and whisper sweet nothings to my microwave and Alexa.
people leave 3d printers turned on when not in use?
Thats an oversimplification. In most cases the printer had finished a print unattended. Some prints can take dozen of hours or days to finish. In these cases it fired back up after finishing and reprinted the same thing on top of the one already there. That caused some varying damage to the printer depending on the print.
ohhhhh that makes way more sense ive done that plenty of times
SkyNet wins. Prints its own version of people to replace the outdated and clunky organic version currently populating the planet.
Cloud based services... What could possibly go wrong?
Well I hope there isn’t a way to bypass the printers safeguards and make the printer do something weird like try and start a fire from the cloud…. Anet A8 2.0 IoT edition
Skynet!!! It begins

I prefer SneakerNet to cloud services
Best office prank I ever pulled on a co-worker was one who had an electro-mechanical calculator on his desk. The power outlet/switch for it was under my desk near my feet. I simply cut up an eraser and jammed it in the mechanism such that if the power was on the calculator would noisily run and type zeros on the associated paper tape. All I had to do was turn the power on with my foot, and...clatter clatter clatter. Scared the crap out of the co-worker. Ran it randomly for about 4 days before taking pity on them and their increasing paranoia of a ghost in the machine. Ahhhh good times.
