It's a bit on the funny side since the HP 3D printers range from $50,000-$300,000. With that kind of money you could have gotten a bunch of real weapons from Leland Yee.

How does the printer know what it is printing? Do the files for a gun have an identifier?

Yes, it proudly self-identifies as a ghost-gun free 3D printer (boy, that's a mouthful!).

It will be in the Terms and Conditions - "This product may not be used to produce 3D guns, or else..."

my 3d printed crap pistol will be green and I will call it Slimer.

HP is just such a leftie organization....

hahaha, how will the 3d printers even know you are printing a "ghost gun"?

Easy, when you load the spool with invisible plastic

Too bad for HP, my dremel and router both identify as an type 7 FFLs.

Maybe they're protecting themselves from possible future liability / litigation.
