Manchester cops trumpet seized "3D printed gun" -- turns out to be parts for a 3D printer

Uh-oh. “Clearly the fact we have seized a 3D printer and have intelligence about the possible production of a weapon using this technology is of concern.”

I have a 3D printer, and at one point I downloaded some zip file of ostensible gun part STL files out of curiosity.

Here, put the cuffs on me.
