Remember one month ago Italian police seized an extremely dangerous pla letter opener and a teenager's printer?

They're back

First they seized "a factory" of PLA knuckles: https://www.ildolomiti.it/cronaca/2026/un-15enne-e-un-13enne-producevano-tirapugni-con-le-stampanti-3d-della-scuola-hanno-anche-minacciato-un-compagno-che-voleva-denunciarli (a 13 years old kid printed multiple copies with the school's printer)

Now they went to the home of another middle schooler to seize his printer because he printed a prop from assassin's Creed: https://www.rainews.it/tgr/bolzano/articoli/2026/02/lame-stampate-in-3d-sequestrate-in-una-scuola-di-bolzano-eb67732d-a7a1-4eac-842b-a0bf7a87e937.html

I feel much safer now that those factories of dangerous weapons are now seized
