Hmmm. Don’t suppose there would be workarounds for that. Nah.
and a NEW printer head costs??? like having crime shoes that are only worn when omitting crime so there's only one pair to hide/dispose of, printer heads are even easier to hide
same thing with pistol barrels, slide and firing pins, it's not rocket science
Sample size of 14.
With regular inkjet printers, you can easily change the printhead. Wouldn’t you be able to do that with additive 3D printers? Seems like it would be easy to send the evidence to the landfill.
The implication here is that homemade 3D-printed guns are inherently illegal and/or would naturally be used in a crime and would be something that the police would (of course) want to track.
Why make these assumptions? There is nothing wrong with making a gun.
A couple years ago I read that regular printers have something embedded in the ink or ink processing that can identify the origin of printed documents. It was a long time ago, and I think it was Rush who mentioned it.
Throw the printer into 200 feet of water, or burn it in a barrel, after printing a firearm or lower (or 10) to prevent such a database from working, EVER.
ALL printers have a signature. Built right in. Send a threatening letter and the investigators can see if the doc was printed on a specific printer.
Not unless someone has a registry and sample from every printer head ever made.

Heck, like DNA and fingerprints, if there’s not a sample in the “system”, they still can’t identify the printer ...
I like this and hope it is true. Many people’s objections to this technological genius would no longer have the force they currently have.
