    What they want is not about guns. It’s about checking all your prints to make sure you are not printing something you can buy retail, or an overpriced plastic appliance part.

    Fuck BAMBU labs, let’s get back to air gapped printers.

    That was the idea. Tech companies don‘t want us to have nice things because it makes their products look all the more shitty. And so they attack anything open source that they don‘t directly benefit from. Some investors are probably seeing the shitty ink printer business and hope they can degrade 3D printing to that degree too. They take any opportunity to fuck the small people for a chance of making an easy buck.

    California needs to wise up and realize that you can make functional firearms out of $20 worth of hardware store parts. They can’t stop the signal.

    Shinzo Abe got his cheeks clapped with a homemade gun in a country with roughly zero legal civilian firearms, and a violent crime rate of less than 1 per 100,000.

    Can’t stop the signal.

    “Scans for 3D printed firearm” yeah okay. It’s totally going to detect that with 100% accuracy.
