The devices “can transform a street corner into a combat zone, devastating entire communities,” Monaco said.
As we all know, it doesn’t count as a real “combat zone” unless the fire rate is in the 4-digit range. Shot by a semi-auto? Wasn’t real combat, walk it off.

The irony of this decision would be that what they really want to prevent is home manufacture of firearms. This requirement to alter the programming in 3D printers is probably is probably the least effective way you could go about it.
Also, the cheapest and easiest printers in the hobby are manufactured by the Chinese, and those guys don’t give a single fuck what the US government thinks.

Ever heard of jailbreaking software? Or The Voron Project for that matter. Or just ripping out thw motherboard and replaving it with your own motherboard.
3D printers are actually mechanically very simple, much simpler than inkjet or laser printers. Just two sets of stepper motors and some bearings on rails and a heated nozzle and a frame to hold everything together.
They can’t even stop counterfeiting even with patters on all banknotes and software rhat prohibits printing banknotes.

A modest proposal: I would love to see someone develop a homebrew board for the Bambu that eliminates the WiFi “phone home” features. Just a basic controller that sits there mute and runs the printer. Would be a nice safety feature. Unfortunately it’s outside my are of expertise: anybody here that wants to run with that?

Literally just disconnect it from the network? You have to move your prints by usb but it can’t report anything if it doesn’t have a network connection.
Plus, I’m pretty sure that there are countless HomeAutomation integrations using the built-in MQTT server and ftp server to upload, start, and monitor prints. You could probably piece something together if you really care that much. X1 series only, as it runs full linux.
Really, though, a pi + klipper + any supported printer is going to be an easier “off the grid” solution.

I get those options. However, having the software in place to reach out to the server is unsettling. Without reviewing the source code you can never be sure what it gets up to. Having a version that doesn’t want to communicate is better, and having a version that lacks the hardware to communicate is best. Hence my suggestion for a new board.

Good idea, although the Voron project exists, and the Ender printers don’t need to be online to do anything, a retrofit piece of hardware or jailbreak software for Bambus, or HP printers for that matter would be much appreciated.

There’s X1Plus already, third party software for the X1. You can officially enable your X1 to allow it to run third party software. No need to jailbreak.
You don’t even need to do anything and can use it as is if you use an sd card or usb drive and walk over to the printer.

The bambu X1 allows support for thord party software? That’s nice. Now we need it for HP printers so we can use third party cartridges. HP does make some good printers, but they are now all software locked and compainies like them are very copyright abuse heavy and jailbreaks don’d have the same demand as pirated movies so jailbreaks are not that wideapread.

Let’s say for example that you use the same PC to do something illegal, like look up anti Russian government info while living in Russia. You also use the same PC for your email, which is never used for anything illegal.
You turn your VPN on and look up Russian government news. You also check your email. There is a record of the same IP/computer/digital fingerprint for your searches as there is for accessing your email.
You are done committing crimes and turn your PC off.
Later you want to check your email, so you turn your PC on. You aren’t planning to do any crimes, so you leave your VPN off. You sign into your email. Now you have an unmasked digital finger print tied to that email account.
Now we assume the Russian government is suddenly very competent. They discover some TOR IP keeps looking up anti government stuff, but if ALSO uses a certain Gmail account. Russia can’t break the TOR network and can’t get your info, but it can figure out what email account was used. Now they don’t need to beat TOR, they just have to get your email provider to share the IP addresses that have been used to sign into your account. One address is your legal unmasked activity, one address is your masked illegal activity. Which means the authorities can prove the TOR traffic is yours. Which makes the TOR/VPN protection meaningless.
It’s like using a condom with 99 hookers and rolling the dice on #100. And it’s like a criminal who visits the same business every day for months, and then drives the same car when they decide to break in after hours. Their ski mask doesn’t help hide their identity if everyone recognizes their car. Your digital traffic can be very similar.
