So it won't print files that are named "Illegal super dangerous fully auto assault weapon.pdf" or something? I have a feeling that people will figure out that they should name it "kitchen spatula" instead. I doubt they can figure out that it's a gun part from the actual file.

The only hope that proposal has of being enforceable is an after the fact charge to add on to.

So I have a work desk in my basement that is enclosed to the ceiling on three sides. Above this desk is a range hood - I took an extra big one out of a semi-industrial building a while ago and put it in here. Changed the fan so it moves so much air it's crazy. I typically do things like solder, spray paint, and smoke the occasional cigar down here, can't smell any of it in the house. Would that be sufficient for ventilating a 3D printer?

Overkill for an FDM for sure. I'd keep that vent off while you're printing, unless you get an enclosed printer.
