Pretty soon they would have to ban backyard foundries, aluminum cans, molding sand, metal files, and drill bits!

Not sure how to tell you this, but however amusing… you are wrong. An Ender 3 in the hands of even a moderately experienced 3D hobbyist can absolutely produce a functional firearm.

No need. You can buy ALL of the parts off the shelf for a 3D printer and assemble it yourself. None are regulated (Aluminum rails, motors, arduino controllers, LCD panels, Power supplies, heating elements, thermistors, wiring). Strictly speaking there’s nothing about a non-resin 3d Printer you can’t procure and build yourself. And you can even 3d Print the housings to make it look nice once you’ve assembled it. Oh… and the designs and parts are largely open source.

It’s a bit big for my taste, but nicely executed with 2 colors. I just wish the Lemmy logo weren’t so craptacular (and watch out for those whiskers snapping off first!)

Gonna need some sauce for those beans.
