Hey Washington, there's a profoundly bad law making its way through the state level.
This law, will require ALL 3d printers to send copies of the files you print directly to the government to be check against a database of "banned shapes".
Literally turning your 3d printer into spyware. And if you don't voluntarily turn your printer into a spy, you will be a class C Felon.
This law affects ALL CNC machines, not just 3dps.

in reply to nullagent • • •This bill is obviously technically problematic, but it does NOT require that 3D printers send a copy of every file you print to the government. It requires that detection software that filters and refuses to print certain gun parts be integrated into printers.
This is obviously technically difficult and problematic for any number of reasons, but it does not require the specific thing you claim it requires. Here's the actual text of the bill:
