So what will the state of NY do if I buy an Ender-3 in Vermont and then bring it home?

Ask Kyle Printtenhouse.

It will also be illegal to transport a 3D printer across state lines.

You see they have the fact that the only places you can get a 3d printer in Vermont is through Amazon as the only places you can get anything remotely techy is at the only Best buy in the state or some auto shop and from my experience I've never seen a 3d printer there

Vermont was used as an example because I remembered it bordered NY, not because it's the only state in the union where 3D printers are sold.
