Phenomenal quality. I myself am working on some 3D-printed weapon parts (and 3D-printed weapons
 ) and these, these are inspirational to my kinda-ugly prints. How'd you finish them up? Just sanding?

The price of each part is how much material it takes to do it so designing complex parts to minimize material use just makes them cheaper. The stocks pictured cost me less than $90 ea. |

That is awesome. I would be interested in checking out that company as I am not completely satisfied with my AR180 3D printed pistol grips. Those look fantastic.
Give them a shout out or hit me up via PM with their contact info. |

Those are awesome! I teach a Maker Revolution course at my university where the students have to design and print something. Nothing like that, though.

For a retro project I did, I drew up the plan in VISIO and converted it to a PDF file, as well as some file formats to be read into a 3D printing program. Another person had it printed to confirm my measurements were on target and they were. It is a great way to rapid prototype stuff as long as the material used is good, the resulting parts can be used where stresses are minimal.
