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

kids have cutters and scissors in their stationery kit and that is more dangerous than this toys. They way they presented the evidence make it look like they seized some meth factory and not "kids underestimated that printing toys that look like weapons and bring them to school is not a good idea"
