    I assume they add a custom wiggle to the print head so the “serial” is embedded into the plastic everywhere inside and out.

        The wiggle isn’t only on the surface. I’d bet it is everywhere except for the surface or users would complain about defects. So if you sand the surface, the forensics slices it in half and reads the wiggle that is embedded everywhere inside.

        When the wiggle is inside the part the part will be gone after sanding it off.
