It was bound to happen eventually! www.shapeways.com/product/4P9FUCK7A Anyone else have any, shall we say, interesting SPIN identifiers?
Rather obvious phallacy of shapeways' sophisticated AI that generates the SPIN from the look of the model
Is that modified when you upload a new model? (Test on another listing) If not perhaps you could replace the model with something long and smooth in porcelain?
I assume the SPIN number would not change with a model update. Maybe I'll upload another copy of the model for the store and preserve the old SPIN number for a more appropriate design! I just had a good laugh when I first saw it pop up on the screen. It's like the old story about monkeys banging on a keyboard. Eventually they will type something. On the other hand if there's a way to prescreen SPIN numbers for certain words automatically before assigning them that might be a good idea, but it may be hard to come up with a list of no-no words that cover many languages.
