If that's true, then I would expect Tru64 to have better support of

Typically the files on Thingiverse are .STL format, which is portable 3D
model. One feeds it into a slicer program (there are several to choose
from) to produce GCode that uses the specifications of one's particular
printer so that the right GCode gets spit out.

Are the files “platform independent”? I know very little about 3D printing,
but have been tempted to get a printer for a while now. Though I’m worried

Umm, not quite. If you'd said 'core memory details such as destructive read
weren't visible to the _program_', you'd have been 100% correct.
But as I suspect you know,
I've seen a lot of talk about memory technologies, but as far as I can see,
no one has offered any complete solutions.
One already exists, thanks to the efforts of Steve Lafferty, Vince
Slyngstad, and others.
