minus-squareslackj_87@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·17 days agoGreat… can’t wait for politicians to use this as a way to pass “common sense” legislation banning 3D printers.
minus-squareaquovie@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·16 days ago3D printers are even less useful here though. The rocket bit can be replaced with a cardboard tube and some balsa fins. The important parts are the active control and circuitry. But I guess logic doesn’t really enter into the conversation anyway.
minus-squareSamskara@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·17 days agoYou don’t need to ban 3D printers. Restrictions and licensing requirements for making, using, owning rockets and guidance software are enough.
