| I’ll just build my own 3D printer lol. Did it college 15 years ago. I’ll do it again. |

| "And when you're done that, can you build another one and sell it to me?" You see how it's impossible to regulate technology? I don't want my tax dollars funding impossible missions. |

And sure, they can't catch everyone, but they don't have to. They just need to catch and visibly prosecute enough people to create a chilling effect. It's about making it harder, not making it impossible. Whether the cost/benefit here justifies those gains is a different question. | | |

The normies don't know about and can't work torrents. They can't even work their own file system. The techies decry it as "inconvenient". | | |

| The obvious next move is to ban all sales of 3D printer parts. You got a license for that extruded aluminum profile? |

| I would unironically love to see the diy 3d printer scene come back. |
| |
| ▲ | SequoiaHope 24 days ago | parent | next [-] | | It never went away. The Voron continues to be a popular DIY 3D printer, tho many people choose to buy ready-made printers. | | |
| ▲ | nerdsniper 24 days ago | parent | next [-] | | DIY used to just be “the way”. Today “the way” is Bambu. But the scene has also grown a lot, so I could see the market size of DIY staying the same or growing, even if its lost a lot of market share. | | |

| ▲ | b00ty4breakfast 23 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | THis is a case of me not knowing and assuming, ha. I remember the peak days of the RepRap scene so I just assumed as that slowed down, the entire thing was dead | | |
| ▲ | SequoiaHope 23 days ago | parent [-] | | I was attending Bay Area Reprap Club meetings in 2010! Got my first printer (Ultimaker V1) in 2011. My how things have changed. We just got a second Bambu H2D Pro at work. Incredible machine. |

| You can do that if it is still legal. |
