[A] "SecSavr" branding is being depreciated

A project log for Liquid Laminate Lithography 3D Printer [gd0105]

The best of resin with the best of filament; is such a 3D printer possible?

This isn't a sudden decision. Instead, it's a feeling that has slowly been chipping away at me.

For starters, the original reason I thought of the name SecondSavr is so far removed from what I'm trying to do these days. It's like a "Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown" situation, where I personally think it should just be "Test Drive Solar Crown". Why? Well "the title is getting long" is a reason, but my main one is that "Test Drive" is the brand and "Unlimited" was the name of the game: a new play mode of open world. "Unlimited 2" understandably built on that. Solar Crown, while being an open island game, changed a lot of stuff -- enough that even the developers didn't call it "Unlimited 3".

Additionally, the project is currently needlessly separated apart. As you may know, #Coaxial8or [gd0144] is currently my furthest-ahead project that isn't "finished" (e.g. like #WK-50 Trackball Keyboard) and I see it a bit like a template of how other projects might play out: Design some ideas, make some prototypes, it grows into the project we see today; that kind of thing. There's also the #Teti [gd0022] kind of project, where you try and make X and then realise there's no off-the-shelf component so now you need to invent Y. SecSavr Suspense is essentially like Coaxial8or but split apart almost like Teti. For example, SuLotion is still a shell after all these months:

I also want to avoid a Notkia situation:
It's so similar. Me In The Past was supposed to check for this kind of thing! And yet I never made the similarity connection. 

Thus, I'm going to think up a new name that tries to embody one of the reasons I called this printer Suspense in the first place: The suspense in anticipation that Liquid Laminate Lithography can achieve most of the benefits of PolyJet with minimal drawbacks.

In the meantime, I'm going to archive / delete other projects such as #SecSavr Soapalai [gd0146]
