Remember one month ago Italian police seized an extremely dangerous pla letter opener and a teenager’s printer?
They’re back
First they seized “a factory” of PLA knuckles: https://www.ildolomiti.it/cronaca/2026/un-15enne-e-un-13enne-producevano-tirapugni-con-le-stampanti-3d-della-scuola-hanno-anche-minacciato-un-compagno-che-voleva-denunciarli (a 13 years old kid printed multiple copies with the school’s printer)
Now they went to the home of another middle schooler to seize his printer because he printed a prop from assassin’s Creed: https://www.rainews.it/tgr/bolzano/articoli/2026/02/lame-stampate-in-3d-sequestrate-in-una-scuola-di-bolzano-eb67732d-a7a1-4eac-842b-a0bf7a87e937.html
I feel much safer now that those factories of dangerous weapons are now seized


I mean, if kids bring or make weapons at school, what would you expect to happen?
exactly, these is not a “ThEyRE cOMinG FeR OuR PRinTERs!” stories. these are a couple of “some idiot teenagers in italy got caught making crappy plastic ‘weapons’ and bringing them to school to sell or show off to other idiot teenagers and a couple of news agencies picked it up cause it’ll generate clicks” stories.
They have scissors at school already that are way more dangerous than that hunk of plastic…
it’s the intent that makes the difference
