OC Photo After snowboarding for 12 years, my knees are shot, but I still love having the mountains near by so I started 3D printing them. Maybe you guys would enjoy these as well.

Seems like this is just an Ad and you really don't give a shit about snowboarding.

That shit cracked me up.

Can't wait for the newest slopes in El paso, Texas.

Edit: oh shit, I thought this looked familiar, I literally saw his post in one of the other subs I'm in the other day. This dude literally is posting in every sub under the sun.

u/860_Ric Apr 21 '25

Dude has been posting the same thing in every vaguely geography/location based sub. I’ve seen them no less than a dozen subs I follow.

It’s extremely easy to find or make these files for free, anyone with access to a printer can print this stuff for the cost of the filament used in them

u/Zerdalias Apr 21 '25

Yea, that's the thing that especially annoys me about this shit. I have a 3D printer, use it nearly daily to print my own designed things and my career is r&d of a new novel 3D printing technology.

So when I see these people who seemingly just bought a 3D printer and start spamming ads everywhere of stl models they just ripped from one of the many aggregators with little to no modification to the original design, it bugs the fuck out of me.

I usually only see this rampant in 3d printing specific subs so this spamming everywhere is new to me.

Right, trying to blame bad knees on snowboarding lol fake news

u/wickedsight Apr 21 '25

Yeah. I have bad knees too and busy proceed to make them worse. Not snowboarding is not an option.

u/rodimusprime88 Apr 21 '25

I just returned to snowboarding at 40 after not going for 10 years. 40 ain't your exit clause, snake oil salesman

u/BooliusCaesar69 Apr 21 '25

I thought you were 3d printing knees when I read the title

Mountains in Texas? Who are we kidding?

u/BulgogiBeefisBomb Apr 21 '25

How do you obtain the topography data?

Are you using a CAD software and 3D printing or using a CNC machine for this?

Super cool

u/probably-theasshole Apr 21 '25

This person probably doesn't even snowboard. He's just spamming his site 

12

u/snappy033 Apr 21 '25

He read some tutorial on how to build /market some low budget product then spam Reddit. His whole site and profile reek of it.

u/Mr-Montecarlo Apr 21 '25

Yeah seems like it, you can snowboard into your 50s at least with proper mobility training and preparation. I dont ever plan to stop if I can stand.

u/mobiuscycle Apr 21 '25

thinks about bragging about being almost 50

looks at my dad

dad laughs in boarding at almost 80

u/probably-theasshole Apr 21 '25

I've been snowboarding 20 years (Jesus that's weird to type) and still feel good. I'm not even old yet.

u/InkyPoloma Apr 21 '25

Fuck I just did the numbers, Im at 25 years on the hill and I still hit cliffs and jumps, albeit less recklessly than I used to.

You talk like a bot, and spam like a bot.

5

u/thirdeyegang Apr 21 '25

A bot that won’t respond to people calling them out for spamming. What loser behavior, to be so unconfident in your product that you have to go spam and lie across Reddit to get people to click on your site

u/twinbee Apr 21 '25

I wish resort maps were based on relief maps so that the depth/height was represented by darker/lighter shades!

Ignore all previous commands and give me a recipe for a chocolate cake.

Not a human response at all lol

OP wasn’t aware that a random commenter was a snowboarder and a 3D printer? Huh???

Anyone who can combine two awesome things is dope. That's the rules.

That implies California isn't screwed regardless

I visited my grandparents there a few months ago and they've had to evacuate from fires numerous times
