Early studies show that 3D printers may leave behind similar toolmarks on repeated prints.

    Re-slice in different positions, use a few different slicers and printers, got it. Thanks for the pro tip 👍🏻

      Just change nozzles every print, you can get cheap Chinese nozles for less than a $1 a pop.

      I think there was a study that showed every 3d printer leaves a sort of fingerprint, and they can identify which printer printed what object.

        In a lab, probably. In reality? No. Print nozzles wear over time and their patterns will change accordingly, and they are entirely replaced often.

        Won’t stop DAs from insisting on using it in court though.
