As a longtime member of the 3D-printing community, I'm alarmed by new legislation targeting the digital files, platforms, and machines that create weapons. It raises a powerful question: Who decides what can be made?

    I’m sorry, but while I have no plans to print one, if I ever buy a 3D printer, I will make damn sure that it can print one.

    I would not spend my money on a borked machine that would control what I print.

      Agreed, they start the lock down with “Its for the Children” so they can control the printer. Then the next is, that widget/doohickey is patented and you cant print it.

      And lets be real you know this lock down will spit out all kinds of false positives basically making it an expensive brink…

      Oh and you know all will have to have an internet connection to operate.
