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 do they know about these prints?
First article says a peer reported them after being threatened
The article writes as the two kids were printing the toys using the school 3d printer, a third saw what they were doing and wanted to report them, at that point they threatened him
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
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…
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.
Actually making weapons, plastic or not, on school equipment is a whole other level of stupidity well beyond regular 13yo idiocy.
Well yes, but also no. I went to school with a bunch of dumb asses who used metalwork classes to make “throwing stars”, and half of them haven’t been to prison yet.
I had an electronics teacher help me make “tripwires” to play a prank on a friend at school camp that would set off an airhorn once tripped, it was only after I finished he thought to mention “Don’t use these to trigger anything else, and don’t put the airhorn inside the tent with him.”
Teenagers and sometimes the engineers who fall in to teaching them can be astoundingly dumb and work the challenge rather than think of the consequences.
Eh…your garage door has a “trip wire” type device. They’re not just for traps.
