Sorry, I formulated that badly. They used to be legal up until the 70s or 80s.

Of course, I never intended to imply that a plastic knife would not be dangerous

If you were to bring a letter opener to school and sell it to your friends you would still get a nice meeting with the police. The existence of the journal article is more related to the fact that a kid was stabbed to death in school last week, than to the fact that a dumb kid did something stupid and marginally related to his 3d printer.

Afaik, all one hand operation deployment knives are illegal to carry in Italy. Ballisongs/butterfly knives included.
I’m not sure if there are special licenses that would allow you to carry them.

Afaik, all single hand operation deployment knives are illegal in Italy. It’s somewhat of a nonsensical rule when there are teenagers stabbing themselves with kitchen knives, but still…

It’s not because they are 3d printed. He was distributing them at school! That is the problem.
If he were to file down toothbrushes and do the same he would still be arrested and his files confiscated.

Wow, that is absolutely mind-blowing. I never expected it to work with such complex designs! Mind sharing some tips or examples of how you accomplished this? I’m really curious about the notes around the ring
- Comment on Is there no good inexpensive CAD software? 4 months ago:
It is getting better, but I still get crashes in 1.0. I feel like there are some specific tools and features that are a lot more prone to crashes and others that are quite solid. I had crashes in particular with the thickness tool and some joins in the assembly workbench, in particular.

Supports for some plastic led strips, to mount them to the wall.
- Comment on List of Alternatives to Adobe Programs 9 months ago:
I hate that there is not a good alternative to InDesign that works on linux.
If only the Affinity suit were to work on linux, even just with wine, I would be alright with the fact that it still is proprietary software. It was somehow able to replace my whole Ph/Ai/Id workflow but it is till keeping me from trying to switch to the penguin.
- Comment on What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good? 9 months ago:
FreeCAD is getting better but it would really benefit for a big improvement in stability and UX

A decent alternative to Adobe InDesign or Affinity Publisher
