3D Printer go BRRRRRRR

[nj_m715]

I looked at printing and it seemed overwhelming. I couldn't even figure out which one to buy.  I found control pew's beginner vids and decided to jump in.



as of now there's only 2 vids in the series but a full guide here

I followed this assembly guide along with the booklet with the printer



running my first print now, a glock mag


this guy has tons of printed gun info


3D TEC-9 but with extendo Glockazines


this guy installed a printer in his off road camper

3d printing has been fun and the Ender 3 isn't a bad printer  but you'll need to make a few upgrades. If price isn't a factor I'd go with the Prusa mk3s it's a great printer no upgrades needed. One of the best things about it is it's made in the Czech Republic not China! They also make their own filament which is some of the best on the market.

Nice! I haven't done anything like that yet. I've been working on stuff for the radio or house. What dose it work with?

where I found my tec9 parts
https://everygunpart.com/manufacturer/intratec

they have every gun from time to time, but sell out fast so check several times a day

mac parts

https://www.velocityfirearms.com/
https://maf-arms.com/
https://cobray.com/

all those parts are in high demand and sell out fast,
I would look for a side cocking upper, it comes with a pic rail for optics
if you have a can make sure you get 1/2" threads on the barrel

glock 19 version 1 rails, use screws on rear rails
https://www.avesrails.com/G19-Rail-Kit-Tool-Steel_p_19.html

version 2, no screws, uses a one piece pinned rail so the frame you print is different and must match the rails
https://www.avesrails.com/FMDA-DD192-Rail-Kit-_p_29.html

the material doesn't matter. v1 was available in aluminum and steel but v1 are obsolete now.

to make it worse, there are other frames beside FMDA and other rails beside aves

I'm not sure if these are compatible

I printed FMDA frames and used aves rails so I know they match

Posting this on an unencrypted forum sounds like a great way to end up on a list. 3d printing firearms parts as anything but a materials specialist sounds like a great way to blow your hand off. 🤷‍♂️

[nj_m715]

 I have no problem posting about activities that are not only legal, but are constitutionally protected.

with the exception of a few designs, 3d guns use plastic frames like factory glock frames and any of the numerous polly ar lowers

as you can see in those pics, we buy parts kits so all of the pressure is contained in metal parts like any other glock or AR

blowing our hands off has become a meme and a joke because it's just as likely to happen with a factory gun, ask Kentucky ballistics
ivan the troll, guy who used legos to mold ar lowers, goes by Al-nohandsy or something like on social media since his hands should have blown off hundreds of times over

a new gun can be bench tested, but most guys wear protection/armor and carefully pop off the first few shots, check for cracks and signs of failure, then continue on.

don't believe the commie fud. this hobby is as safe as you make it, like any other hobby

Everyone's talking about it. The more the better. It's all over the web and huge on social media.

The more people talking about it, and the more people doing it, that means more and more of us are small potatoes and uninteresting.

Yes it's legal, and yes it's protected. No one beyond the crack pipe fantasyland crowd has any notion that they can prevent it or even illegalize it. The regulations they're looking at are controlling other parts necessary to the build that can't be 3D printed. The current climate is to regulate more parts, like pistol slides and rifle uppers.

And besides, they know that all the law-abiding people would throw all their parts and printers in the garbage can if they ever wanted to make it illegal.

I can honestly say I've never seen an established design blow up catastrophically, injuring the shooter. I've seen prototypes that were tested with a string pull trigger blow up on the stand, but that's about it. Most designs only print pieces that experience no wear or only mechanical wear. Pistol frames, lower receivers etc., then the explodey parts are sourced separately.
