    I’ve been watching this since the 39C3 talk - ordered a few boards when this went live several days ago!

    Why isn't this sort of monitoring software considered a constitutional rights violation under the fourth amendment? It took me a few minutes of thinking about it to realize, but I can't possibly see how this isn't unreasonable search. Also, preventing distribution of Klipper, Marlin, or RFF (all 3D printer control firmware) would be a first amendment violation due to "code as speech," so at least that wouldn't be able to be restricted in a future bill?

    Hobbyist 3D printers originated from the RepRap project, the goal of which was to enable full replication of a 3D printer with minimal "vitamins." That goal has sort of gone to the wayside, as people tend to care about printing more than printers at this point, and the quality of the machine heavily correlates to frame rigidity and various things that are better solved with parts that are not plastic.

    I think you may be thinking of reloading, not manufacturing new?

    I thought that barrels were fairly easy to manufacture these days via some form of electrochemical machining with a 3D printed rig? Disclaimer: I don't actually do any of this myself so I might be totally wrong, but have some knowledge of it due to being fairly involved in 3D printing.

    This feels like you could engineer a recipe to fit here with a little work - maybe use some whipped egg whites and flour to lean in the direction of a souffle pancake (something spongy), then make a creme anglaise with more eggs and some milk to soak the pancake in, and cook it again to set the custard?

    Broadly, take a look at the flake configs scattered across github. For secret management, nix-sops is probably the way to go.
