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

The part in question seems to be a filament spool holder for a Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)-type 3D printer, probably a Makerbot Replicator 2. One of the first things a lot of people print out when they get their new printer. Extremely dangerous in the wrong hands, obviously.
