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
That is refreshingly non-fascist
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
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.
Or a bag of nickels
I roll the nickles!
I usually don’t put my rocks in my socks to get my rocks off (ತ◞౪◟ತ‵)
Bold of you to assume that Italian highschools have a shop class, the 3D printer is probably part of the computer lab.

the knuckles article mentions “white weapons”. is that a term of art in italian that i’m too not-italian-speaking to know?
Yes, it’s the literal translation of our term for bladed melee weapons.
To add to this, it is the general term for all non-firearms: so it covers also bludgeons and anything else you swing by hand.
Oh, I was convinced it was specifically bladed, as opposed to armi contundenti.
You always learn something new.
thank you
