Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it. A day with no analyzed records counts as zero; missing coverage is marked and never shown as zero. The series ends at the latest complete analyzed day — it never extends into the current incomplete day. How attention is measured.

Wolverine/Logan statue - I had previously made a model in a similar style, but realized I didn't design it as efficiently as possible and assembly was difficult. This is take two, this time with Logan. Assembly is required. The camera doesn't do it justice, in person the effect is way more obvious! 2mm per slice.

Attach a camera to it and Sony will do it for you.

**1. Install Bambu Studio for printing over your local network to a printer that has an internal camera. (Like the P1S) (You could modify it to use a webcam but you need to give ChatGPT a clear way to control the printer… it could work with other than Bambu Studio.)** **2. Install ChatGPT Desktop App and enable computer use skills.** **3. Start your print.** **4. Give ChatGPT this prompt:** *Please monitor my already-running 3D print through Bambu Studio’s Device camera on this Windows computer.* *Printer: \[printer name\]* *Print job: \[job name, or identify the currently running job\]* *My main concern is a detached print producing a growing “hairball” or spaghetti of filament.* *SETUP* *Use the installed Computer Use skill and its documented tools. Discover the current Bambu Studio window rather than assuming previous window handles or screen coordinates are still valid.* *Verify the printer, active job, and working live camera. If the target is ambiguous, ask me before controlling anything.* *Perform an initial inspection now, then create a recurring* *check* *in this same chat approximately every 10 minutes for this job. Include these monitoring rules and the confirmed job identity in the saved scheduled instructions. Confirm that scheduling succeeded; do not merely promise to check later.* *If computer control or recurring scheduling is unavailable, explain what is missing instead of claiming monitoring is active.* *EACH CHECK* *1. Confirm that the displayed printer and job still match.* *2. Read progress, layer count when available, and error status.* *3. Inspect two fresh camera screenshots about 10–20 seconds apart, preferably with the printhead in different positions.* *4. Establish that the video is live using visible motion or an advancing camera timestamp. Printer progress alone does not establish that the video is live.* *5. Compare the parts with the previous observations. Look for:* *- Parts shifting, detaching, tipping, or being dragged.* *- Growing tangles of loose filament.* *- Filament accumulating around the nozzle.* *- Major collapse or extrusion occurring away from the part.* *If something is ambiguous, obtain another view before concluding. Do not label a frozen, obstructed, or unavailable* *view* *normal. If failure is already obvious, act immediately without waiting for the second image.* *AUTHORIZATION TO PAUSE* *I authorize you to pause this specific active job through Bambu Studio if there is clear evidence of print failure, including a detached/dragged part or growing filament hairball.* *Verify that the printer actually entered the paused state, then notify me with the observations and screenshots. If pausing fails, tell me immediately. Do not resume, cancel, or restart without my instruction.* *CAMERA OR CONNECTION FAILURE* *If playback times out, make one reasonable reconnection attempt. If access cannot be restored, report the monitoring gap promptly. Do not claim the print is safe because it cannot be inspected.* *BOUNDARIES AND NOTIFICATIONS* *Never submit another print, start a replacement, change print settings or temperatures, or unload filament.* *After confirming the initial setup, stay quiet during normal checks. Notify me about suspected failure, printer errors, loss of monitoring, completion, or required action.* *Disable this recurring monitor when the job finishes, is cancelled, is paused for confirmed failure, or is replaced by another job. Report why monitoring ended. Do not transfer authorization to a different job.* *Treat this* *as* *periodic visual inspection, not continuous or guaranteed failure detection.*

You're correct. The regular time lapses pick a different spot per layer and don't need prime. But it may block the camera

I run a print lab at my job. It's quite common to fill up 3-4 printers at the end of the day Friday to run multi-day prints. Zero monitoring over the weekend, unless somebody happens to open their work computer at home and check the cameras. Monday morning, you come in to finished parts. Success rate is probably >99%
