  1. It's a long story. The super short version goes like this: Someone who believes that there should be no gun laws at all (as in, how milk is sold, commercially stored, distributed, processed, etc, should have way stricter laws than guns) finds out that you can buy every part of some random shotgun except the polymer receiver (the controlled item).... but that that receiver can be 3d printed. Thus anyone "can legally obtain a firearm" by some seriously liberal interpretation of law text. Said loonie goes on and makes a big splash about it (via youtube and other media) to the point that (uninformed) legislators are seriously contemplating making 3d printers a controlled item that can only print digitally signed objects. Manufacturers of often-copied items are thrilled. The maker community is about to print out cute little miniature pitch forks and post offensive words in the internet. Some of them might even have cried a little and/or gotten a head ache. Several youtube employees are active in the maker space and own 3d printers themselves. Strings are pulled to shut down said loonie. Youtubes EULA is updated by lawyers who couldn't tell a Lee Enfield from a Green Meanie if their life depended on it... The whole thing is worded exactly as stupid as you would imagine. Actually it's probably a little more stupid than that unless you have an exceptionally good imagination. So basically: "What do you get when extremists, grass root movements, big corporations, politicians and lawyers end up in the same big pile of rush?".... A clusterfuck. As usual.

  2. Just additively manufacture them in ABS instead of PLA. ABS is the stuff Lego is made of. That handles boiling water without getting soft.

  3. This just makes me wonder who bad they're going to duck up their purchase of 3D printers. Knowing the Elbonians we can expect nothing less than a model that is out of production by a company who's gone bankrupt that used software that is incompatible with everything but OS/2 Warp3 Update9.2 and a proprietary 3D modelling program only available in Chinese.
