So much for the constitution
You must log in or # to comment.
One of the most common uses for 3d printers is for cosplay props. I wonder if the lawmakers considered how this infringes on the rights of people trying to print prop guns from their favorite video games or anime?
They don’t care
Should put the tracker in the filament, since most ghost guns just get a solvent bath when they’re done now.
They should put trackers on people instead
This what happens when a state is controlled by idiots. I wish we had opposition party that were not a bunch of boot licking freaks.
The bill requires manufacturers to embed a “firearm blueprint detection algorithm” in every model by July 2028.
by July 2028?? Welp that gives DIY gun-making enthisiasts plenty of time & advance notice to crank out as many guns possible 🤦🏼♀️
Not that is matters as this law has zero impact on guns
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.
The dragon and Rock’s head is the Hello World of the 3D printer world.
Why? They are great.
They’re like 3D printer 101.
This is like seeing baby’s first print and they’re trying to sell it.
3d prints that aren’t even a person’s own design have no place being in a line up of artists
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.
I think about this a lot.
Sometimes I learn about news that greatly affects my hobby but then notice it’s like a month old.
And I wonder - so I share it? Do I sit with it? Do others know about it?
Assuming positive intent, OP thought the former.
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.
Isn’t California the state where you need to be 18 just to by spray paint?
I think we are already headed in that direction
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.

(1) Use DRM 3d printer to print copyleft non-DRM 3d printer
(2) Profit??
The bill is sponsored by a company selling gun detection technology
You don’t even need to print anything. Just run Klipper instead of the stock firmware.
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
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.
You currently can not fully 3D print a gun
Even if you could, distinguishing a gun from everything else is impossible. This is more about people using 3D printing for right to repair
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.
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.
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.
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.This is stupid easy to bypass plus you still need metal parts to make it work
Guns are actually really easy to make and can be assembled from parts found at a local hardware store. If you want something fancier you could even mill a gun out of metal
Yeah but a right wing incel maniac trying to get a gun to go blow away a high school isn’t going to know how to mill his own gun. He might download on and use his father’s 3D printer to make one.
You can’t use a 3D printer to make a working gun and it isn’t possible to distinguish a gun from anything else.
This is security theater that hurts the general public and small businesses while giving yet more power to the wealthy
Be honest. What percentage of gun crimes do you think 3D printed guns are?
Probably zero.
I just like the idea of there being less guns on the street.
I also like the idea of access to guns being highly regulated.I don’t disagree with you.
But this type of law is the exact same as the age verification laws.
There’s a plausible sounding risk, but if you dig deeper it’s always the government reducing freedoms in a way that doesn’t really help the stated goals.
325 3d printed guns were seized in 2024. That’s a drop in the ocean.
guess i should be happy mine predates that shit. although its currently bugged enough to fuck up basic prints available online right now.
You’d think with a title that says “California just passed a law”, that it would actually be about California passing a law. It still has to go through the senate and then get signed by the governor.
Edit: The bill was passed in the Assembly back in May. This is a nearly 3 month old article.
