I wouldn’t put it past governments to try to put some controls on this. When color copiers starting becoming widely available, governments stepped in to force the manufacturers to install software that interfered with counterfeiting cash. Sure, it might turn out to be a losing battle, but I could see governments forcing the installation of software back doors or firmware “restraints” of some kind for 3D printers.

I wouldnt either. But as we keep finding out...the techno-geeks are ahead of the government.
Whatever the government does, they counteract it. There are enough really smart techie anarchists around today.
