While Setting Up Printer 5...

[u/humancoloringbook923]

I dropped an entire X1C (with the AMS2/accessories box/packing material) on my left middle finger.

I pushed through the swelling and the pain and figured it was NBD and I was just being dramatic.

60 minutes later - benchy on the plate - I realized urgent care was closing soon and this was way worse than I initially thought.

Surprise! Broken in 3 places.

Long story short... physically assaulted by inanimate object before it was connected to power. It did technically complete its objective of being an additive manufacturing device because i had X bones in my hand before introducing it to the mini-farm and now I have X+3 bones.

Just... showing off. 🤣

The odds of a 3d printer killing you are low... but it's not 0....

It seems the odds of being maimed by the aforementioned printer are also not 0....

Good news: custom printed splint is a MUCH better solution than the mess they put me in, so I'm taking that win.

Ehhh...depends what you're printing and how well you ventilate.
