    If only the government were that incompetent. But even I have my doubts they would distribute anything more than hashes.

    Still, changing a hash is ridiculously simple.

      True haha. But yeah, a file hash is actually uniquely useless in this case, any gcode spun out of a slicer is going to be hardware and user specific.

      Just seems like there would be opportunities for hacking and reverse engineering this measure. At it’s root, it’s a measure that builds firearm information into the firmware, surely that could be exploited by a person who wanted to do that sort of thing.
