Is this still post-modern or is it post-irony already?

#13> I have not yet printed and tested this exact model! Sadly that sums up the 3D printable scene perfectly. So many times I’v seen someone creating X for Y but they don’t have Y to test it but “it should work”.
Yeah, feels a bit like "I'm sharing this code I've written here. I haven't tried to compile it yet, but it should work."

Fair enough, but this isn't that case. They have Y (it's in the first photo) and tested a previous version of the model. The changes are predictable (rotating letters and slight scaling) so I don't think it's unreasonable to be confident and not waste plastic.

It's vintage now and gives me warm feelings.

It’s not far fetched though. With careful design, prints often do work on the first try.
Sure. And it's given away for free, so complaining feels wrong. But is it _too_ much to ask that they print their tweaked version 2 and test it before publishing it? :sigh:
Why don’t you print and test it and contribute to the documentation? Too much to ask as well? ;)

That approach does work for LLMs, though.

Works for shipping commercial software!
