3DPrinting
3DPrinting is a place where makers of all skill levels and walks of life can learn about and discuss 3D printing and development of 3D printed parts and devices.
The r/functionalprint community is now located at: or !functionalprint@fedia.io
There are CAD communities available at: !cad@lemmy.world or !freecad@lemmy.ml

One passed, the other has yet to be presented. These legislators have no clue how they'd even do it, but circumventing the scan is also made illegal.
So yeah, flashing Open-Source firmware is something they dont like either, but fingers crossed they just choose to not allocate resources to enforcement. Wouldn't be surprised if this 3D printed missile mentioned in the article above comes up ad a taking point during the legislative hearings.
Sounds like something that wouldn't be worth going out of the way to enforce. But rather used to tack on extra charges when someone commits another crime where the extra level of investigation would uncover the flashed firmware. Not that it would do much to deter or prevent what they're afraid of from happening.
Doesn’t matter if it’s passed or not. It’s not possible to implement, and therefore completely unenforceable. Legislation cannot change the fundamental limits of software.
This is either a blanket ban on all 3D printers, or none of them.
Or a way to arbitrarily charge anyone or to add to anyone's charges in case they own something that fits the bill.
