3D Printer'd Firearms :o

[Bisjac]

if you read the comments and stuff it says that the gun wasnt completely printed and only the lower receiver was printed. everything else is stock parts

well this is the first (known) gun printed that worked. i sure hope stock parts could attach to it, that is the entire point, to copy real guns.
it could have taken a month to print the receiver and assemble it perfectly. its not like the guy is a pro, its using a hobbyist-lvl home printer.

but if you can print the receiver of a gun, the most complicated part, then why wouldnt you assume the rails, grips, barrel would be harder to do?

not specific to the OP link, but interesting

apparently you can even print stainless steel?
i didnt think that was possible. i couldnt imagine the cost of material though

Why did the chicken cross the Moebius Strip?

TO GET TO THE SAME SIZE BAZINGA.

I looked at the wikipedia page for "Mobius Strip"


That's enough science for today; I need to go contemplate existence whilst crying in bed.

someone probably already mentioned CNC machines and lathes.

but if they haven't they should definitely be mentioned

They should print iron titties out of that marverlous machine

Dammit, whats with the awesome stuff happening today :c

Going to buy and/or make my own 3D printer. Imagine, homemade lovetoys.... Some great modeler could even model celebrities asses and tits into love toys.

If this is what you would use this for I feel bad.

CNC machines and lathes are a little different. They are subtractive processes where 3D printers are additive.

Ive been looking at making a 3d printer for a while. :o


ONce i get enough money ill buy a Makerbot Replicator

[blaman]

I'm curious how much the materials cost to print stainless steel, let alone a printer capable of it.

edit: lol apparently you can print stuff in titanium. this gets better and better I may need to find some money to throw at this.

well no duh. and notice the huge equipment needed.

this topic is about affordable desktop equipment for home use that can do all of that

Holy forget, I want a 3d Printer.

Not top notch but it's affordable
