		<description>How paranoid. ;)

Seriously, there are worse cases out there with &quot;legit&quot; businesses.
And why should these cases be an argument against 3D-printing?
All you need is some kind of regulation - if you sell something you have responsibility for it, if you share it as with FLOSS (take a look at the GPL license - it&#039;s your issue if your computer blows up) then the user has to be aware of the risks.

And it has to be easier to have things tested - there are CE marks in the EU for a reason, and if anybody could get their creations tested according standards, then this would not happen.
Why not test for toxic materials and if it&#039;s stable and can hold a certain wheight?
And the case where the site got hacked - as if that couldn&#039;t happen to anybody else as well ... Oh, wait a minute - IT HAS!</description>
