"Bloomberg's organization is funding this," Louis Rossmann said about the 3D printing legislation that aims to control what you're allowed to print (and potentially leads to closed sourcing of 3D printing). At 8:30 AM Pacific Time today, there is a 'public safety committee' hearing in Sacramento that will serve as the last time people can speak publicly in opposition to 3D printing legislation which aims to control what you print -- possibly resulting in forcefully feeding 3D prints through online corporate servers and potentially leading to the 3D printing community going more closed-source with more government oversight. There are likewise implications for open source 3D printing hardware and software, which could face restrictions and enshittification. Louis Rossmann will be speaking with the committee and is hoping viewers show up at least to just be a presence and show the committee that people care, or at best, to speak about why these kinds of laws are damaging to ownership while not achieving what they claim to achieve. If you can make it today, please attend to show your opposition to this controlling legislation that benefits the consolidation of printing into fewer private corporations. This is how we get monopolization in 3D printing, because it benefits companies that play ball with forcing internet connections. TIME: 8:30 a.m. June 30th 2026 ADDRESS: - 1021 O Street, Room 2200, Sacramento, California, 95814-5704 For those who can't attend, here is the information: event: luma.com/g2uw6fuf senate link: senate.ca.gov/calendar?st Although claimed to be targeted at "bad shapes," this sort of technology could also feasibly be used to scan prints and determine if they are breaching intellectual property -- the monster character you personally modeled and want to print for fun could be blocked by object detection in the future of 3D printing for resembling, say, a Pokemon. Obviously, feeding prototypes and artwork through corporate servers also could lead to being ripped off, to data breaches (that lead to being ripped off), or just to eventually feeding your prints into some sort of AI learning server to either rip you off or analyze the cylinder you printed and determine it's a bad cylinder, not a good cylinder. This is important. It is physically impossible for GN to make it out there in time due to the distance, but we will be covering this and trying to attend hearings on other similar issues as we become aware of them.




Bambu Lab 3D printers: never again. They're breaking the open source social contract (for the nth time...), and I'm past hoping they'll amend their ways. youtube.com/watch?v=eb48Md…





Need a tough, outdoor print? ☀️ ASA is a UV-resistant material ideal for technical parts. ⚙️ It requires an enclosure to prevent warping and should be printed in a well-ventilated area or with a filtration system for fumes. 💨 Use a satin or powder-coated PP sheet. prusa3d.com/category/prusa…
