Sand paper wouldn’t really help. They could just cut a part in half. But yeah no way in hell this will ever end up in any of the open source printer firmwares. So it’s a moot point.

The fact that this could only work in 100% locked down ecosystems was my thought too. About cutting the part up, that seems to be what this particular paper is most proud of: they did a bunch of math to make some codes that they could still figure out even when they were cut into pieces and mixed up—like if a person broke their printed part after using it. Sort of like error-correcting codes I guess, but able to be reassembled from fragments.

Why would you cut it into pieces. Just burn it i’d say…
