No, bicycle spoke drawings are not forbidden.... There are 3D metal printers. But for really good ones you are probably taking 6 figures.
But a manual lathe and mill can be purchased for $1K and you can buy metal... I don’t think they are going to be able to draw a line, but let’s assume for a moment Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters are queens of the world. What would they say I wonder... We can only rent sporks from the restaurant while dining. No sharp pencils allowed?

I'm pretty sure I can't go buy a cheap 3D printer, download that file, and have it spit out a functional gun 10 minutes later. If I post instructions on the internet for building a gun out of an old bicycle, using a file and a hacksaw, would that be illegal? it's really no different...

Well, something for stabbing could be done in one print. I have to assume that everyone who is freaking out has never seen a real 3D printer. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
