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

How long until woods is banned from high schools because you can manufacture yourself some premium wooden knuckles
Wait until they find out what can be done with socks and some rocks inside them.
or a ready-made sack of Valencia Oranges.
I mean, if kids bring or make weapons at school, what would you expect to happen?
They have scissors at school already that are way more dangerous than that hunk of plastic…
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.
How do they know about these prints?
First article says a peer reported them after being threatened
That is refreshingly non-fascist
yeah its just old school snitch bitch action
There’s nothing wrong with snitching if someone is unduly threatening you.
The article actually said the kid was threatened because wanted to snitch
Still wrong to threaten them. I don’t know about the Italian context but elsewhere there’s been lots LF news about kids killing or maiming people
Of course. But seizing 3D printers will do absolutely nothing to help with that.
Man how fucking dumb are some of these kids…fucking printing knuckles on school printers!? (These will still break a jaw easily if used, and are illegal to even own in many places) Threatening another kid for reporting them for doing shit they’re not allowed to!?
JFC…
13 yo? If they’re anything like me that age, pretty fucking dumb.
I used to make wooden swords when I was even younger than that, and I sanded them until they were sharp. My grandpa would find and snap them.
Actually making weapons, plastic or not, on school equipment is a whole other level of stupidity well beyond regular 13yo idiocy.
