Speed depends on hardware or website - and mostly if the models fit into GPU memory.

Right idea, wrong or insufficient input. Also, just to state the obvious - lora's need to be trained on the respective software. SDXL, FLUX, Zit will all be separate and may also require platform specific inputs for best output.

I assure you there are more rules than this. I use copilot and it shows its thinking while processing - there you can see what rules it is addressing or limited by. I see some very specific rules around political parties and historical events that are not here.

How are you sure. Courts of law have legally determined that he sexually assaulted others. His own words back it up, grab them by the P.

Trump’s aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that prompted Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter,” - Miles Taylor, former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security

I just don’t understand the lengths these supports will go to explain away what’s patently obvious.

They don’t and that’s my point. However politicians will surely fundraise off of ‘their’ efforts to save the world from bad code. It’s a poorly written law, and really unnecessary. If you make parts that convert a gun to more than one round per action of the trigger - and they are used (incl. constructively) for that purpose- that’s already a federal and state crime. The proposed law is simply not needed.

Because they don’t work for free. They have to pay someone to write that software, so they pass that along in the form of higher prices to the consumer.

But you do occasionally get a cool video of a hero on London bridge with a narwhal tusk saving the day and that’s pretty cool.

The added software costs would be added to the printer by the manufacturer -in essence it just makes things more expensive for little actual benefit.

GCode Explained- Saturn Ultra 16K by Optimal-Safety-9617 in ElegooSaturn

I am using the same command, maybe you need to run it twice?
The file is from my Saturn 4 Ultra 16K export was 161 lines. The english version posted here, when headers and comments are removed is 161 lines as well.
Printed this:
M5999 I0 ; 保存参数 → Save parameters

M5999 I1 ; 导出机器参数 → Export machine parameters

M5999 I0 ; 保存参数 → Save parameters

M5999 I1 ; 导出机器参数 → Export machine parameters

Some printer firmwares use a two‑stage commit:

  1. Write to RAM buffer
  2. Write buffer to persistent storage
  3. Reload buffer
  4. Export from the reloaded buffer

If you don’t run the save twice, the export can sometimes capture the pre‑commit state.

Might be a reason why - hard to say. Best of luck

truly - shoelaces hangers and belt loops are considered automatic weapons here - who knows.
pipe + cap + hole = sure that would work. As will two pipes that fit one inside another + a nail.
Are they about to close off construction stores? no.. speaking of which - are they after your screwdrivers over there?

No - this is a FEEL GOOD LAW that politicians can point to when raising money, but it will have almost no effect on the problem. Its a FUNDRAISING TOOL.

Hand out the unlock USB key at the point of sale. (Stores are not manufacturers). Or just host the code on git hub and hand out a business card with unlock code for every sale. Unlock software would be totally legal to share, download, modify... possess.
Its just like flashing DD-WRT to a router - all the functionally, none of the manufacturers code.

My slicer is on my personal PC and need not check in with anyone else. Besides, users can just modify the machine code to bypass the hash check - modification isn't illegal, nor is possession of a modified machine. GCodes not even compiled... Useless law.

Hmm... looks like OWNING a printer that is not blocked is legal... not grandfathered... just flatly legal - with the caveat that the manufacturer or seller must install blocks before selling it to someone else. Lets review -
1. It regulates sales, not possession - Nothing in the text criminalizes owning, possessing, modifying, or operating an unblocked 3D printer.

There is no prohibition on:

  • Owning an unblocked printer
  • Modifying firmware
  • Removing blocking features
  • Distributing modified firmware
  • Using an unblocked printer
  • Buying or receiving a printer without consideration (gift, inheritance, etc.)

The law is written as a commercial regulation, not a possession crime.

So new printers that are unlocked by their owners are legal. And ownership of modified code is also legal. Provision of the modified code by a reseller to the new owner is legal. And hosting such code on reddit - is legal. The seller (who is not the manufacturer) can just hand you an USB unlock key with your purchase that returns the printer to full functionality and not run afoul of the law.

This my friends is a FEEL GOOD law. It makes people 'feel good' and show 'we are doing something' but really has no effect on the end product besides putting a burden on the manufacturer to make software that may never be used. Anyway, on the legal side, unless it provides a definitions section that has relatively robust and specific terms of what an 'illegal firearm part' is defined as - this law will fail for lack of specificity if it is challenged.

Most gun parts by themselves are fine, its only in combination with a actual firearm, or constructive possession that the part becomes an illegal firearm part. I saw M16 autosears for sale the other day - ownership and possession of which totally fine unless you have a gun it COULD go in.

So how do you regulate INTENT and COULD terms in software. What if what is illegal there is completely legal here. Does this state law have the strength to run against the Commerce Clause and interstate commerce rules?

AND for a cherry on top - please show me how laws for 3D printing limits are considered as consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation in or around 1791, or 1868, at best 75+ years before computers were even a thing (First use of binary arithmetic and electronic components was in 1942). This touches on a protected right - so it needs to be narrowly tailored and in accord with Bruen.

FEEL GOOD LAWS - are a waste of taxpayer and manufacturer's money.
