Even if it isn’t plagiarism, I’ll even give you the benefit of the doubt on that one, the argument is simply completely wrong. You can’t just give that as an answer. For heaven’s sake, you have to argue differently.
I just noticed something else - going from the thin region of the top flange to the thicker region above the shaft, the injected plastic experiences greater shrinkage in that area as it cools, so you get that characteristic little dent at the top. It’s subtle, but it’s definitely there.
I’d just like to mention in passing that you’re also a strong contender for the ‘Dangerous Prints’ topic. If MakerWorld finds out about it, it’s very likely that it will be deleted. This doesn’t have to happen, but it’s definitely a possibility.
Pressure cookers and 3D printing just don’t belong in the same sentence. But what do I know, I’m just an engineer with a measly 17 models and 40 downloads on MakerWorld .
Ya’ll are just showing off your l33t CAD skills now. One day I will be as good as you. Do you think we will be still printing in the same way twenty or so years from now? I hope so, because I want to show off by then, too.
Yeah, my jury is out on that. It really doesn’t look like it was acetone smoothed, and the other picture they posted REALLY doesn’t look like it was acetone smoothed.
Man, seriously. What are we solving by fighting over a bunch of primitive shapes? Regardless of if their purpose is legit or not, the landscape of the platform has changed. Basic shapes is so Thingiverse.
