  How do they know about these prints?

    First article says a peer reported them after being threatened

      That is refreshingly non-fascist

      The article writes as the two kids were printing the toys using the school 3d printer, a third saw what they were doing and wanted to report them, at that point they threatened him

  How long until woods is banned from high schools because you can manufacture yourself some premium wooden knuckles

    Wait until they find out what can be done with socks and some rocks inside them.

      I usually don’t put my rocks in my socks to get my rocks off (ತ◞౪◟ತ‵)

    Bold of you to assume that Italian highschools have a shop class, the 3D printer is probably part of the computer lab.

  Man how fucking dumb are some of these kids…fucking printing knuckles on school printers!? (These will still break a jaw easily if used) Threatening another kid for reporting them for doing shit they’re not allowed to!?

  JFC…

    13 yo? If they’re anything like me that age, pretty fucking dumb.

    source

    • ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Actually making weapons, plastic or not, on school equipment is a whole other level of stupidity well beyond regular 13yo idiocy.

      I used to make wooden swords when I was even younger than that, and I sanded them until they were sharp. My grandpa would find and snap them.

  the knuckles article mentions “white weapons”. is that a term of art in italian that i’m too not-italian-speaking to know?

  source

  • MolochAlter@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Yes, it’s the literal translation of our term for bladed melee weapons.

    source

    • Jocarnail@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      To add to this, it is the general term for all non-firearms: so it covers also bludgeons and anything else you swing by hand.

  I mean, if kids bring or make weapons at school, what would you expect to happen?

  source

  • lemjukes@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    exactly, these is not a “ThEyRE cOMinG FeR OuR PRinTERs!” stories. these are a couple of “some idiot teenagers in italy got caught making crappy plastic ‘weapons’ and bringing them to school to sell or show off to other idiot teenagers and a couple of news agencies picked it up cause it’ll generate clicks” stories.

    They have scissors at school already that are way more dangerous than that hunk of plastic…

    source

    • Damage@feddit.it ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      it’s the intent that makes the difference

  I don’t think these really are the scare monger pieces you’re trying to frame them as. Both articles are very much so about some idiot teenagers printing and bringing 3d printed weapons to school. Police would have seized any tools the kids had been using to produce these items because thats how evidence collection works. Even your story from last month hinges around the items being found in a school.

  Don’t get me wrong there are legitimate threats to 3d printing as a technology with proposed legistation in some US states aimed at curtailing 3d printed “ghost guns”. That fundamentally misunderstand the technology and instead are attempting to enforce a censorship mechanic that is entirely unfeasible. But these articles just arent an outcrop of the same kind of thing, IMO

    kids have cutters and scissors in their stationery kit and that is more dangerous than this toys. They way they presented the evidence make it look like they seized some meth factory and not “kids underestimated that printing toys that look like weapons and bring them to school is not a good idea”
