The bill would require consumer 3D printers sold in California to include "firearm blocking technology" that checks design files before a print job can begin.
This first bill allows the state of California to regulate and oversee all 3D prints in the name of public safety.
Can’t regulate the parts as they are used in many many many devices. So as far as I’m concerned this is worthless. I can build a fucking 3d printer from an old VCR and a hot glue gun.
There’s a difference between building a pile of crap and actually building something that works effectively. It’s a difficult hardware and software problem.

my interest is who is PAYING to fund the bill, i wouldnt be surprised if its gun companies or palantir.
You can, but 90% 3D printer buyers can’t, and that’s a good enough amount of people to spy on.
90%?
More like 99.999%
Including op.

The work has all been done long time ago.
The designs and software are all open source at this point.
