My next project is a CZ Scorpion. I was able to source a bolt for dirt cheap along with some other parts.
 Here are a few that I've printed so far though.   t

I never understood how this works. From the looks of it the mold comes out looking like a block of turd. Then you have to carve out certain parts of the mold to make it look somewhat resembling the item which you are trying to make?

You do have support material though that's used to print overhangs etc that has to be moved, but there's a interface gap and the supports just pull off. |

Seems dangerous. Even top manufacturers have their own products kaboom due to faulty parts and ammo, and they have been doing it for years. I can't imagine an amateur making something that potentially could kaboom due to their inexperience and using substandard materials.

I've done just enough 3D printing to know that the kind of filaments I want to use for most of my projects, (not necessarily gun related) require a printer costing around $1500. I can buy a lot of small parts for less than that.
When I can buy a turn key printer that can print CF and glass fiber filled nylon and other high temp filaments right out of the box for under $500, and do it really well, I'm all in. Until then, my PLA/ABS printers just sit idle because I am not interested in spending hours fiddling with them to get them to print well, or in trying to load upgraded firmware and modified hotends and rigging up enclosures to get them to do a "just okay" job at printing nylon. I have an Ender 3 V2 and an Ender 5 pro, plus the enclosure, plus a high temp creality hotend. But I don't want to spend my precious free time getting it to work together. I think creality released firmware for the Ender 3 V2 that will work with the new hotend, but not yet for the Ender 5, and that has an older board and display than the 3V2. $500, maybe even as much as $600 for a printer that I can plug in, load CF nylon, slice and print high quality prints is where I am back in the hobby. |

Quote HistoryMesmu it seems as though you are a believer in the empowerment of additive manufacturing and it's ability to democratize firearm design and accessibility beyond the control of the state. This stuff needs to be banned. Think of the children. Arfcom, don't go rush out and buy a 3D printer like the bambu labs P1. I mean you have to download a file. Slice a test print. Maybe fail at a few designs before you understand what your doing. Waste a whole $20 spool of PLA+ before you get good. Much too difficult. Go through an FFL for all your firearm needs like a good citizen. |
