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.

Airflow and heat retention are major issues with FDM printing, my previous living arrangements had such a draft that I was unable to print at all. It can really affect your prints.

It would make the possession or sharing of gun related files a crime. Also give police power to investigate sources of files.

Would require gun manufacturers to build pistols that can not be converted with printed parts.

Think there might be 2 bills being worked on. No idea chances on being passed.

NY State Senate Bill 2025-S227A

Relates to the regulation of three-dimensional printed firearms; provides that a person who intentionally sells, distributes, or disposes of a three-dimensional printed firearm is guilty of a class A misdemeanor.

Its funny how they are focusing on this BS while there is like 450 million REAL guns in this nation many of which are not registered and they have no clue how many there are and where they came from. Its even easier for someone to just buy a black market gun than print a thing and hope it works, lol. So fucking stupid and such a waste of time and tax dollars. This shit is more for hobbyists fucking around seeing what they can make. Bad guys buy the REAL thing, why? Because they can and they dont give a fuck about your laws.

It's just another dog and pony show to distract us from various corruption the elites are up to. There's probably never been a cop killed by a cop killer bullet and anyone who uses a so-called "ghost gun" in a crime is a moron because real guns are far easier and cheaper to get than some plastic 3D printed nonsense that barely works. If someone is going to shoot at me then I'd very much hope that their gun is 3D printed.

Ventilation would be an issue as I would just have it set up in my office and there's windows but, I dont want to risk anything that I would or should be doing in a workshop with vents installed. I plan on building a workshop outside my house in a few years so maybe then, and in the mean time I'll just roll with FDM.

Thanks for the responses.

If all you wanna do is small models, ventilation isnt an issue as long as youre printing PLA which theres no reason you shouldnt for gaming pieces.

Ventilation becomes an issue when you start printing ABS/nylon and other higher end filaments.

Luigi Mangione is now the poster child for the evils of 3d printed firearms and they don't want to let that go to waste.
