Comment on California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves
Naia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks agoEven if this could actually be enforced you have the issue that if they go too far you suddenly have it blocking a cylinder because it thinks you are trying to print a gun barrel.
Not that I don’t think they would care about that, but it would certainly cause even more of a backlash.

You wouldn’t do the barrel anyway. You’d use tube stock instead
The plastic would be too fragile to handle the heat and pressure that it’d likely be worse than a barrel-less design.

This is the lie, that a complete gun is printed, as in Sci fi movies.
It’s just the parts that are typically wood or plastic on factory made guns.
