Adafruit recently showcased its NeoPixel Light Slate while highlighting the systemic threat of Washington bill HB 2321. The law mandates that all 3D printers and CNC tools sold after July 2027 must include firmware-level DRM to scan and block specific files. This sets a restrictive precedent for the open-source foundation of a 100 billion dollar global industry. For communities like Adafruit’s 38,000+ makers, hardware-level surveillance risks stalling STEM innovation and decentralized production. 🛠️⚖️ #3DPrinting #OpenSource #HB2321 #AM
