They probably know this perfectly well. But there are corporations and their lobbyists to think of, and they'd much prefer it if ordinary people weren't able to build their own devices and spare parts, but instead had to buy them at inflated prices.

Best part about the Abe story is that there is no evidence his shooter resorted to using a 3D printer or any 3D printed part.

P.A. Luty's expedient homemade firearms

10/10 its probably easier faster and more reliable to make a gun from shit I can find at homedepot. Hell you could even make it use what ever you want for ammo and propellent.

Prusa actually sells an official airgapped Core One for Critical Infrastructure.

Nah, if you're right, you should also ban the sale of any type of bench milling machine (manual or CNC): anything I can 3D print, I can probably mill just as easily

Errm read the article and don't see any mention of Bambu - what did they do ?

Well to be fair as a REALLY big fan of 3dprinting bambulab printers are extremely reliable.But.. Yeah no one need to know who I am and what I print

laughs in PRUSA

Same basic technology as Hotdog or Not Hotdog.

Replace 3D printers with x, choose gun violence or child safety - any law undermining our freedom and creating surveillance these days
