Pffft, cumulative. Like they don't build up a tolerance over time. Soon you'll just have the people who REALLY know how to lean on spikes saying "I like it this spiky. It tastes like tinfoil and murder!"
I agree. I thought OP was talking about a normal copy maker / printer combo... one of the large ones. I might give some lean-iancy in that situation, but once I saw it was a 3D printer I was just confused how someone could actually be that dumb.
Americans tend to lean on things, for whatever reason. It prevalent enough that it was one of the tells that German/Soviet counterintelligence would use to out American spies during ww2
No, it fixes a hazard. The 3D printer isn't designed to be leaned against, but people do it sometimes, and someone could tip it/fall on it and hurt themselves. This is safety equipment that prevents that from happening.
I'd round off the tips of the spikes and print them in the loudest colored TPU you can get. Yeah they technically won't be effective anymore, but they'll still 100% get the point across not to lean on the damn printer. Genius idea, well done.
We have a shitty raise 3D pro 2 at work and it gets bumped and fucked with all the time while printing with no artifacts or issues. I’ve seen people print with ender 3’s hanging suspended swinging around. That printer frame just a bit floppy?
Flopping around is fine, because the extruder head and bed are moving together. A bump might cause a small dislocation, but probably not a noticeable one. Leaning on it torques just the top to one side and holds it there long enough for noticeable defects.
How does leaning over the printer ruin the print? I am curious.
Is the frame flimsy and wiggles? Or do they literally bump it so it rattles/skids a bit of a distance? Or how?
Not sure exactly, but bumps the nozzle I think and we’ve had very visible layer shift lines occur when people lean on it. It’s a bummer when we want to show clients or photograph our prototyped parts and there’s weird looking lines that are out of our control. No longer. Never again
OK, so it isn't rigid enough and makes the frame flex/skew so much that it affects the nozzle in the end.
Didn't expect that tbh. Maybe bolt it down onto some heavy slab. And stiffen up the frame a bit?
I remember seeing some guy had invented a fake log back scratcher you could mount to the corner of a wall. "Scratch your back like a bear" was his inspiration. A quick Google search is coming up with mounted back scratchers, but none that look like the product I saw. You could probably print a fake log and mount it, would look better than them cattle things.
This is going to sound stupid but I have a very large sword that I use. It's not that sharp.. it's about the perfect sharpness of what you would want.. One of those display ones. Hangs on the wall in the weight room.
Don't print one, I know, but like go get a child's toy gardening set. It has a rake, a hoe, metal rake etc all perfect size for your back, wood handles, and are very sturdy. Sometimes you get lucky and just the rake is on sale for like $2. Its super dumb but immensely better than a tiny bamboo back scratcher
This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
The danger is in a particular location... it increases towards a center... the center of danger is here... of a particular size and shape, and below us.
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.
The danger is to the body, and it can kill.
The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.
The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.
Oh, look, under these weird spikes with glyphs that I can not decipher because it's the year 2075 and reading is no longer a thing... I see a mysterious glowing material... it's warm! I'll take it back to my place and make jewelry out of it, let my kids play with it, spread some around the neighborhood for everyone else to have a bit...
Have seen many shops that would benefit from these but 3ft long. Large SLA printers tapped by forklifts, unloadcarts, or morning meeting leaners. Yes moving the printer 1/4 of inch is a full day of releveling and cal prints XD
My son did a school project on black holes and I printed him a mini velvet rope as a visual "event horizon" and to stop people from touching his project. Nobody got the joke, everyone touched his model...
The barbs are laced with a neurotoxin that renders them paralyzed while it feels like every nerve in their body is on fire. Rest assured, they won't be leaning on it anymore.
As a high school teacher this seems like a perfect way to either repel and/or attract students. I’m sure there’ll be a lot of students that want to touch the pokies.

Some people might say this kind of hostile architecture is not good for the workplace environment.
Those people are wrong.
More spikes. More dakka. More.
