3DPrinting
3DPrinting is a place where makers of all skill levels and walks of life can learn about and discuss 3D printing and development of 3D printed parts and devices.
The r/functionalprint community is now located at: or !functionalprint@fedia.io
There are CAD communities available at: !cad@lemmy.world or !freecad@lemmy.ml

You can buy whole kits to build your own, the capacity to control what is made with the is about as much as if you tried to ban someone with a table saw from building a birdhouse.
This is absolute horseshit from a gun nut.
Guns are like quaaludes. Hard to manufacture precisely and reliably, easy to spot factories, and easy to regulate and control.
Americans are the only dumbass country to not figure this out and think they're special fucking snowflakes.
Thats a perfectly succinct analogy.
Pretty sure you could make a gun too, which is the point of this 3D printer thing
And like what about other CNC machines?
I like that California is on the frontier of many tech laws, but this and the age thing are particularly dumb lately
If I'm not mistaken, this DOES cover ALL manufacturing devices, and if it doesn't, it will in the future
Good, fuck Americans pretending like gun control isn't effective.
Nobody tell California about a nail combined with certain diameters of pipe, because guess what, those can become guns too.
Pleas do tell us the next time a birthday gets drive by'd by pipes and nails, otherwise, shut the fuck up dumbass.
zip guns, lets bring in slam fired shotguns.
Never doubt the ingenuity of man killing other men.
I made an AR15 with a hobby drill press from Lowes at work. Give me a hunk of metal, a micrometer and a file and I can make you a gun.
Or worse.
Yeah, and that's why you don't have a meaningful social life. Because you obsess over building tools to kill people rather then spending your time learning how to build a better world.
Grow the fuck up.
I'm pretty sure that's already illegal in CA
Neat, I would've assumed you'd need a mill or a lathe, not just a drill press. Kinda want to know how to do it myself, since I own the former but not either of the latter.
The upper reciever is the load bearing part on an Armalite, but it's also not the regulated part. The lower receiver is, and all you need for that is a box that holds the trigger components in vaguely the right place, a hole that lines up the magazine, a hole to stick the buffer tube into at the back, and some way to nail the upper receiver to it.
You could carve an AR lower out of wood if you were dedicated enough.
Guess I ought to go find a set of machining schematics.
No, you don't. You can do literally anything productive with your life other than obsessing about killing tools.
Please explain how I can "do literally anything productive with my life" when I'm murdered by MAGA fascists because I had no means to defend myself.
Shovel AK is a thing too. There are stencils out there for it.
Gah how can I forget about the shovel AK????
Yeah I’ve lived in CA for about 10 years now and have loved it, but the new laws they are passing are making it extremely likely that I’ll be moving soon. Especially with tje fact that we are either getting either Becerra who’s in Big AI and Big Oils pocket.
Or just go to a bordering state, buy one, and come back
Printer manufacturers won't make state-specific versions of printers. This is going to screw all of us.
