    You can deploy a lot of $96 semi-effective hardware and improve it vs something that might be thousands or even tens or hundreds of thousands to deploy.

      Khojayev’s just-launched prototype has no effectiveness track record

      :-/

      I mean, time will tell. To date, this particular iteration of technology has a 0% success rate in doing anything but farming clicks.

        We got another scary 3d printer headline for dumbass politicians to use as justification for regulating them!

          There isn’t much there that can’t be done with PVC and bent aluminum sheeting.

          Hamas famously uses water pipes for their rockets (no idea about the propellant, payload or control systems though)

            Don’t expect a bunch of moron politicians to understand that though. They’ll see this and think it’s a golden opportunity to “PRoTEcT tHE chILdREn!”

              Unless they’re going to ban heating elements and stepper motors I’m not too worried.

              It probably wouldn’t be too good for Bambu Lab so I wish them luck in their lobbying effort. They could buy a veto from Trump for a few hundred thousand USD in the worst case.
