I’m afraid all the good pokemon names are taken 😈 Jokes aside you can not change your printer name. ---

Wow. If I was told that I would have requested a cooler name! “Humorous Pig” is NOT a cool name. ---

The names are serial numbers. Unless I missed something, you cannot request a specific name. ---

I don’t know – it sound more equal than other names. ---

Their naming scheme is “adjective + animal”, hence the “Humorous Pig”. If you think that’s bad, mine is “Necessary Satyr”. ---

Ok, I’m over it… I over reacted! The printer is working GREAT!!! ---

Got over it too, but it’s still not very professional looking and forces me to use a different identification in our documentation… While I love the idea of a serial number that is easy to communicate and remember, we should be able to change the name of the printer in preform and the dashboard imo. ---

Who knows, maybe they’ll change this naming scheme to something more business like on the Fuse 1. ---

We’re absolutely paying attention. The adjective + object serial schema was a way of identifying printers in a more interesting and easy-to-communicate way than typical serial hashes. We’ll look into updating or modifying this for future products. ---

Spoiler alert, it’s going to be One + expletive + adjective + body part ---
