Yep, that's exactly what the fed undercover will say.
And sure, they can't catch everyone, but they don't have to. They just need to catch and visibly prosecute enough people to create a chilling effect. It's about making it harder, not making it impossible.
Whether the cost/benefit here justifies those gains is a different question.
THis is a case of me not knowing and assuming, ha. I remember the peak days of the RepRap scene so I just assumed as that slowed down, the entire thing was dead
DIY used to just be “the way”. Today “the way” is Bambu. But the scene has also grown a lot, so I could see the market size of DIY staying the same or growing, even if its lost a lot of market share.
The obvious next move is to ban all sales of 3D printer parts. You got a license for that extruded aluminum profile?
"And when you're done that, can you build another one and sell it to me?"
You see how it's impossible to regulate technology? I don't want my tax dollars funding impossible missions.

The RIAA tried that. It did not go well for them, and piracy has never been more prevalent or easy.

I would unironically love to see the diy 3d printer scene come back.
It never went away. The Voron continues to be a popular DIY 3D printer, tho many people choose to buy ready-made printers.

Open Source and DIY 3d printer scene is very active.
I’ve unclogged enough nozzles in my lifetime thanks
You can do that if it is still legal.
