So use a VPN, buy a 3d printer in another state, send it to a mail forwarding service?

Or buy a printer and install different firmware on it?

And maybe my understand of 3d printers is wrong, but a 3d printer itself doesn't know what it is printing, it only gets the gcode from the slicer. So if the slicer is what is being modified, then use an open slicer like OrcaSlicer?

So a nothing burger of massive proportion this looks like. Which will soon spread to California. Great...
