Red face 3D for Thee, but not for me..

I'm still looking. This one is on sale, just up the road in Cambridge. https://www.microcenter.com/product/...-se-3d-printer
I have no space left in my basement shop area..
Plus, I don't have a modern PC that I could use with a 3d printer.
I've still got a wire-welder that I have to learn how to use!
And, when the Radon is low, I like to get downstairs to use the Ham Radio gear, or re-load some ammo for target shooting.
Which reminds me that some states (maybe Massachusetts) are trying to make 3D printers illegal, because they can be used to make firearm parts. (for gatling-guns I think).
One thing I do not want is the feds rolling up to my house in a tank. My wife and I have bad hearts.
Buying a 3D printer might get me on the no-fly list, and I won't be able to visit relatives in Calgary Canada. Too far to drive, too old..
