Unless 3D printing is highly regulated. Which it will be. Because of this very thing.https://twitter.com/naval/status/1174909311744503808 …

There is no way to distinguish between parts and know-how for CNC versus 3D printing. It would be a ban on manufacturing.

That's handwavey. I built and designed DIY CNC & 3D printers. It's impossible to tell intent of parts without seeing how they are integrated. This means off the shelf components or motion control can always be used.

I agree current models are not regulated. But technically, it would be trivial to ban anything you couldn’t identify as innocent.

I think we are having two conversations. The one I'm having is it's extremely burdensome force unfree 3d printers, because of the already open ecosystem of CNC technologies. I think you are saying we can ban printable objects based appearance of harmlessness or innocence?

You could do that with a moderated, centralized printable object library with DRM-like restricted printers. It sandboxes children who use consumer printers. The work around any adult (& smart kid) can do is replacing the motion controller with a full capacity open source one.
