The first thing they need to add to their DRM thing is those flexible dragons that have taken over half the booths at a local comic con. That and The Rock's head.

Why? They are great.
For a first print, yeah. This is more me bitching about the artist alley of all my local cons being filled with 3D printed garbage than it is an endorsement of terrible DRM practices.
OP why are you posting a 3 month old article with no updated information or that needed context that this was in the past? There was a discussion then.
It's almost like you are trying to upset people again for sport, because reddit broke your brain and you think internet points are important. Almost like that.
California needs to start pushing laws to shut down hardware stores, department stores, shopping malls, and office supply stores since you can buy things in those places to also create makeshift weapons.
I have a mini mill in my garage. I makeb ghost firearms as a hobby.
I have a bit of experience with a mill, but even if I *didn't * these are not hard skills to learn yourself. A couple hundred bucks for a mini mill on marketplace and a few hunted bucks for a blank and some tooling and anybody could be making ghost guns in their living room.
Good, means less lunatics waving around guns. No objection here.
To the people bitching, it's a moot point when you can buy a gun at virtually every wallmart in the country.
(1) Use DRM 3d printer to print copyleft non-DRM 3d printer
(2) Profit??
There's pedophiles roaming the streets and no one can afford healthcare or housing but yeah, lets make useless laws to try and regulate 3d printers....
Roaming the streets? They are sitting in the fucking white house.
Two crimes can happen at once in different places
Except nobody is being prosecuted for this, in fact the only person that sits in prison, got moved to minimum security one and a pardon is being considered for her.
Senate just appointed the very person directly responsible for it to head the Department of Justice.
We are literally being run by pedophiles, or pedophile protectors at best and it couldn't be any clearer that there are two justice systems.
When the UH CEO was killed with 3D printed gun I remember being puzzled why trump, trump jr, musk and other members of the Epstein class became vocal about this, to me it seemed like a random murder. Now I understand that to them it was significant because member of their class was killed, this is also why musk was wearing his son as armor, because they were genuinely scared that their class war was firing back.
This isn't going to do anything about crime.
Well, no. It'll create a whole new class of crimes.
Then why did you bring other crimes up? Sorry. But you have no idea how you sound. You directly said "there are these crimes, why are we wasting laws on these other crimes" and wonder why I responded as I did.
My point was their priorities are completely out of wack, and also that this law is useless and shows that they have no idea how 3d printers work so they are wasting time on this to do literally zero good. If the concern is around preventing crime, this is not the way to do it.
DIY 3D printers aren't that difficult. It's just two or three motors, a motion controller and a hot nozzle for most plastic printing. Replace the hot nozzle with a really epic laser for metal parts or possibly a stick welder. Even better with lithographic printing minus the really toxic fumes of the material. Take a really bright high resolution screen or maybe a projector and one motor and you got yourself a lithographic printer. Are you going to compete directly with cutting edge printers? Probably not. Will you still be able to make shit that works? Most likely after some tinkering.
Guess Californians need to grab an old printer real quick and hang on to it.
It won't just affect Californians. Printer manufacturers will make one model for everyone, and it will comply with this law.
guess i should be happy mine predates that shit. although its currently bugged enough to fuck up basic prints available online right now.
