    I'm thinking germanium too, but even then, google seems to believe there isn't a standard bar code.

    They look an awful lot like theses guys:

    I still have to test the voltage.

    My Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus is a giant paperweight that can't even be used as a boat anchor, cause I'd be fined for polluting our waterways with electronic devices.

    Not as dumb as yesterday, but stupider than tomorrow!

    I had to have a quickie look. Used 2 meters on diode mode and got these readings:

    Is the top one measuring resistance (339)?

    And is the bottom one measuring voltage (0.282)?

    These used to be the AM detector diode commonly used in transistor radios in the 80's and early 90's

    Obviously...!

    Youngers I am sure do not know about AM demodulation through germanium diodes!

    Once, at the age of 10-11, I made the first AM radio with such a diode, and an old telephone earpiece that was connected to a vertical metal waterpipe. It was amazing experience to here the local radio station with this!!!
