Unless they're going to ban heating elements and stepper motors I'm not too worried.

It probably wouldn't be too good for Bambu Lab so I wish them luck in their lobbying effort. They could buy a veto from Trump for a few hundred thousand USD in the worst case.

    I mean, yeah, that's why regulating it is stupid. But it will still cause problems for a lot of people if they start fucking with them. Not everyone has the time/talent to build their own 3d printer. It took me months to get mine working back when I did it and it was a kit. Trump can't veto state laws.
