I don’t know what to make out of Makerbots banning 3D printable arm parts, it feels like the wrong direction.
Maybe it’s a reaction to the recent shootings , but relegating them to some obscure part of the Internet will not help in any way. Thankfully they made it into a .org domain , hopefully a sign of good will.
But like I said yesterday about 3D printing:
If anything feel like having the potential of wrecking the perceived value of palpable objects is this technology.
Mix that with such a heated topic like fire arms control and you have a perfect storm.
