3D printing gunsss

[el_barto3]

Been around the site a little and I'm not sure if it's just because you're all old timers but I haven't been seeing any 3D2A love so I thought I'd start a thread, I had a feed ramp break on both my Glock frames so I'm gonna try a new design when I get more PLA+ in, Glock perfection still puts em down range. My sd40ve has 150+ rounds through her with no issues, did the stipple myself so she's a bit ugly but it fits my hand perfectly. Probably update this thread with a pic of the new design whenever I can afford some more pla

What CAD software are you using to do you 3D solid modeling?

For my cutting I use cura but my fusion360 skills are lacking, would recommend fusion360 for modeling

Have been posting about 3-D printed guns since 2014.

My group does magazines. Can sell them and buy better filament and printers.

Yet you took the time to open this thread and post a reply ... my interest is piqued.

You, sir, are easily entertained.

We have a 3d printing thread, but it doesn't get a whole lot of activity. A few of us on here printing guns, though.

The Official 3d Printing thread

I have two different bike racks on my pickup. They are the same style of rack where they only clamp on the wheels of the bike. One has a wheel chock and the other doesn't. I decided that the one needed a wheel chock to make it easier to center the bike on the rack and make it so the wheel...

Really, not even the cultural/political aspects of it? For me, that's the juice!

Guns have escaped into the Internet like the movie "Lucy". Politics are downstream of culture, 3D guns completely destroyed the existing cultural paradigm. It's over for the antis.

NatGeo has a documentary on the Drug War in which a former DEA agent, discussing crack, said that he knew they would lose the drug war when people started making drugs at home. We are making guns at home, and they cannot stop us even if they wanted to.

Another thing I love about the 3D2A movement is how young they are. During the pandemic The System gave young men time off work and dropped money from helicopters and they bought 3-D printers and improved existing designs or created completely new designs.

Vinh Nguyen, Ivan, PSR, Hoffman, inter alia (I think Control Pew is among the oldest) will be around for decades and have not even gun their most productive decades, designing with increasingly better technology and there is absolutely nothing the government can do. Heck, Ivan designed a gun (along with J. Stark) which is now being used in a civil war in SE Asia. Imagine what is coming with 4D and AI. Star Trek replicators!

It honestly doesn't do anything for me.
Not knocking it... just not me.

Well . . . OK, I'll be over here in my own private Idaho.

Freeman, party of one.

Interesting I've never heard of anyone 3d printing mags as a side hustle, you guys just mad with the calipers or printing existing designs?

The effects 3d printing had on culture, especially the ease of manufacturing for all kinds of small arms, will without a doubt be taught in some (probably negative:/) way in schools someday.

It's a strange culture that attracts people from all kinds of communities everywhere, and depending on who you talk to it's either full of criminals, militants, hobbyists, or people who regard themselves as all three. I find it very fascinating to not just see the way that the community developes around new technology but how the mainstream media chooses to portray it. 3D printed guns as a topic is more then interesting, it's very much a part of history.

Someone needs to start printing and selling cheapo mags for my little Zastava m70 32acp pistol. The pistol I bought came with 1 mag. Original surplus mags are $50 - 60 online, IF you can find them.

Lmfao thanks for letting me know Brandon

I have a 3d printer, but I use it for random things... honestly haven't turned it on in a couple months now.

Pre-existing AR-15 mags (cannot handle M855A1 EPR) and Glock 17 pistol mags, nothing else.

We are committed to the Henry Ford Didactic, we don't chase rabbits, we don't do special snowflake guns, we don't do a magazine of the day, we do what is most popular and what you should have if you need to have it. I'd like to do a EPM but at this point it would be silly.

The joy of computers is that if you can think it, you can do it.

It's something I will try someday. Modern plastics could work in the place of steel in a lot of old guns and restore ones looking for parts that are otherwise unobtainable,

Ditto - same thing I'm finding out with the S&W 39-2 I recently acquired...

I think it’s neat how you fellas can do that…. I know little to nothing about it and am afraid I’d bungle it up big time lol
