Molten LEGO guy

Once upon a time, there was a LEGO figure named Steve. Steve was an adventurous soul, always seeking new and exciting experiences. One day he overheard a group of friends sharing an intriguing legend. The legend spoke of Max, a courageous LEGO figure who had embarked on a daring fishing adventure on a 3D printer. According to the tale, Max had cast his fishing rod onto the printer and miraculously reeled a fish. The story captivated Steve's imagination, and he couldn't resist the call of the unknown.

Inspired by Max's legendary feat, Steve decided he wanted to try his luck at 3D printer fishing as well. Filled with anticipation, he set off in search of the same printer Max had used. With each step, he imagined the exhilaration of catching a remarkable fish of his own. He walked along a shelf lined with colorful filament spools, each bearing different labels. Among them, Steve's eyes fixated on a spool labeled "ABS". He wondered what secrets lay behind those three letters but he quickly forgot about it as he already saw the 3D printer in reach. The spool that was fed into the printer had the same mysterious "ABS" label, and now he also read the smaller caption beneath. "Bed temp 110°C", it said. A flicker of caution crossed his mind, however, his desire to experience the adventure overpowered his hesitation. Determined to make his mark, he mustered up the courage and stepped onto the print bed.

As Steve made his way across the scorching surface, he felt an intense heat permeating his plastic body. The realization of the perilous situation slowly dawned upon him. The heat was overwhelming, and he could feel his form starting to soften and distort. With each step, his legs weakened, and his body began to melt. The heat engulfed him entirely, causing him to lose his original shape. In his final moments, Steve realized the price he had paid for his impulsive decision.

And so, the story of Steve, the LEGO figure who dared to uncover the secrets of the ABS filament, came to a tragic end. His melted remains became forever fused with the print bed, leaving behind a lasting testament to his misguided bravery and his story would be shared among makers for generations, reminding them of the importance of not touching a hot print bed.
