"We have evidence you are in possession of an illegal workshop. We have a warrant. Open up."

 Washington state legislature have lost their damn minds:

 This isn't just about FDM printers anymore—this language targets additive manufacturing, subtractive manufacturing, CNC mills, lathes, lasers and potentially any device capable of "fabricating" a part.

 The "Banned shapes" provision!  The mandatory firmware mods that could brick your machines if you attempt to machine a shape the firmware thinks is forbidden...

 This is fuckin' lunacy folks.  That's one fantastically stupid legislature they got in Washington... oh, uh, state!  I meant state.  Also.

 But can you imagine if this goes through?  All it takes is one "new idea" to take hold in one state... you've seen it before and you know it.  And don't expect the manufacturing industry to save the hobbyists; I can easily see the industry throwing hobbyists and small business under the bus on a compromise.

This is grim, but we live in grim times, so best get used to it. 
It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
