They’re probably gonna try making the slicer send the print to a central server (based on what I was hearing about the California law), so while making a printer from a kit (like a Voron) isn’t a bad idea, they’re probably gonna try to aim for the software side. The whole thing is so dumb.

Prusa already does this if you let it. I have been doing it because its a convenient feature, but now Im definitely going back to the old way

For the printer side, sure. But if they start declaring slicers that aren’t phoning to a govt server illegal… they’ll be slightly harder to find and install. Which is just why this is soo stupid. Not only is it very hard to enforce, phoning models into a central server and expecting it to know what models contain parts for a gun or the like isn’t really possible (you could maybe make some AI to intuit a bit, but it would probably suck at actually figuring out if a print is dangerous or not).
