On today’s episode of Uncanny Valley, we discuss how WIRED was able to legally 3D-print the same gun allegedly used by Luigi Mangione, and where US law stands on the technology.

tl;dr printers got cheaper
And they wirk with more than plastic. I have had that conversation several times. People honestly think all 3d printers can do is cheap plastic.
What else do they work with?
Metals, catbon fiber but I heard thise nozzles wear out fast. One printer i saw used lasers to weld metal powder into shapes layer by layer.
biocompatible bone too
Some mad scientist in Scotland claims to have gotten his printing stem cells. He’s trying to figure out how to print replacement organs that have no chance of rejection
Oh yeah, I forget about sintered metal printers. Which is funny because that’s one of the first ones I saw.
Carbon fibre is a big one.
And better and people got better at making 3d printed guns.
Printers improved too.
