Remember one month ago Italian police seized an extremely dangerous pla letter opener and a teenager's printer?

They're back

First they seized "a factory" of PLA knuckles: https://www.ildolomiti.it/cronaca/2026/un-15enne-e-un-13enne-producevano-tirapugni-con-le-stampanti-3d-della-scuola-hanno-anche-minacciato-un-compagno-che-voleva-denunciarli (a 13 years old kid printed multiple copies with the school's printer)

Now they went to the home of another middle schooler to seize his printer because he printed a prop from assassin's Creed: https://www.rainews.it/tgr/bolzano/articoli/2026/02/lame-stampate-in-3d-sequestrate-in-una-scuola-di-bolzano-eb67732d-a7a1-4eac-842b-a0bf7a87e937.html

I feel much safer now that those factories of dangerous weapons are now seized

Eh...your garage door has a "trip wire" type device. They're not just for traps.

    He was aware of the use case. He was told in no uncertain terms what it would be used for and made suggestions around how to conceal the devices. I think we all know that there are certain people who will get so caught up working the problem that they often don't think about consequences til much later.
