  • This is often on purpose. I have my own, and contribute to, many projects. Some of them have easy docs to get going, find things, etc, because they happen to be easy to manage. Others do not, because the only support time I have to give is to those who also have the time to put in the work.

    And to be clear, it’s not that we look down on “those who aren’t willing to learn” or anything at all like that, we recognize others don’t have the time either. It’s just a natural filter that has to exist in free software.









  • This will get tossed. But here’s why it’s actually happening:

    Gatalog and Polymaker both market through a network of influencers “specializing in 3D printed ghost gun content, as well as companies and individuals that illegally distribute [digital firearm manufacturing codes],” according to the suits.

    Both also directly target state residents: Gatalog advertises a “California Compliant Glock 19-based Carbine kit,” while Polymakers’ website features Proposition 65 warnings and state-specific privacy opt-out features.

    I mean yea, advertise your filament with YouTubers making guns, and you put yourself in the…oof.











  • i have a different theory on some of these specific businesses.

    • Bankrupt
      • Tax write off
      • Drop “contrwct” employees who pay for their own vehicle
      • Sell debt on leased trailers for dimes on the dollar
      • No true consequence for business owner
    • Gas price go down
      • New business
      • Rehire contract workers
      • New loans for depreciated trailers
      • Bankruptcy more profitable than operation

    Edit: Digging deeper into source links of source links, all the big players with multiple trailers and big contracts like Amazon are Chapter 11 (reorganized), so yea, my theory holds.
