Check this out, you can print metal parts with a standard 3D printer. You need a kiln to fire the final part. Looks like its similar in concept to PMC used in the jewelry arts. https://thevirtualfoundry.com |
How come every time there is a shooting, they want to take away the guns from the people who didn't do it?

I still need to get the bolts made for my M1337. |

@ozzymandiaz have you test fired yours? I finally got back to mine last night, fixed my striker bearings (a couple had come loose) and now have all 6 bolts/strikers working. I have also downloaded the latest version of the files. I'll probably print the B2 rotor and just cut my receiver ejection port. https://odysee.com/@Nopel:6/Beta-Version-2---Updates:0 |

| Yep, about 50 rounds of m855 through it with only a couple hangups that I think are probably tied to the double feed he mentions in the new barrel cluster. I'll get around to printing the new barrel cluster eventually, but I don't think I'll bother with the receiver just for the ejection port change. |

I'm just going to hack my receiver for now rather than reprint. At some point I might re-print in cool colors. There was thought of printing in rainbow filament just to irritate people. |

Bump and hope for an update from any makers here. I saw some recent tweaking videos form the designer. I may have bought 6 barrels in a deal a while back but seeing all the other stuff in the instructions it has fallen down my list of priorities... |

Looks like there's a B3 receiver display at Shot show 2025 Starts at 6:41 into the video https://youtu.be/K6kBdn0UVps?si=dWMKDcoyB1Visrav&t=401  SHOT Show 2025! @Ozymandiaz ETA : I picked the project back up again after the strikers with the lamp nipples and jbweld bearings failed. I still like the idea of turning down m6 bolts to hold the striker bearings so the height can be adjusted. Proably make those. |

With Beta1, I got 10 blanks to fire before the cocking channel in the main receiver broke. Working on Beta3, I have gotten about 5 to fire before it jammed. It doesn't like feeding blanks. I'm working on fitting the B3 barrel_cluster_body but it's taking so much work again to get the carriers to fit in the new body. Currently I'm working on fixing horizontal expansion and maybe I'll reprint the cluster body again. |

| finishing the 6th bolt carrier in PA6-CF. Think ill start on the barrel clusters next. |

Attached File What the slicer nightmare fuel shit is this.... this should be something like 6 parts bolted together, but is like the support pocalypse with some sketchy looking areas strength wise.. |

Originally Posted By jm0502: I was looking at milling it, very difficult exactly what i was thinking - would take significant rework to make that possible. i was looking more at adding metal to key parts - but still looking at what the key parts are exactly.. e.g. could I make a machined gear exterior to mesh with the delinker housing rear because machining the whole thing would be hard. |
|
I have only read page 4, but for those that have, or are ready to build one, roughly what is the cost of parts? I need to look at a parts list but how much did you spend (if you had 6 BCG's laying around they need to be figured into the equation). I'm trying to decide if the value is there for a novelty item. NOW I'll go and read the entire thread

There is talk of someone selling pre-made strikers, so I've been holding off working on it. a question if you dont mind - since you are way ahead - how is the striker caused to strike? i'm wondering if a: there is some precipice like the sear block it essentially drops off and b: if the way the bolt moves in the cam system does or doesnt create a safety against out of battery fire. with this complex thing all in pieces i havent put it together in CAD to try and visualize that yet, but just looking at the bolt system it omits the key element of the AR OOB safety - that the bolt moves forward to engage into battery and throught the camming action only when the bolt carrier is also forward (thus locked) can the hammer hit the firing pin. (we'll leave for now the fact that the floating firing pin can and does light strike under inertia). Since the striker is part of the carrier if the bolt is not properly engaged, can the striker still move forward and engage the firing pin with the round either in the chamber but not locked, or even not in the chamber (im imagining for example, cam breaks off, carrier cracks, other mechanical breaks rather than normal operation here) |

Define functional, or for how long, and with what material. But there are rifle suppressors circulating that can stand up to a few mags at least. @mPisi Functional: Good question. Obviously reduce sound signature, the more the better. As far as longevity goes, I'm not sure what's reasonable, 1000+ rounds, 2,000?? It'd suck to have to print and get a new stamp every 500 rounds or whatever. It seems there would be PLENTY of shared volume in the can. Given the fact it doesn't have to be light, it can have thick walls, perhaps some sort of metal blast baffle/insert, or metal/fiber outer tube if needed. I suppose one could buy 6 ECCO 5x5 cans (inexpensive yet effective), then I'd have 6 cans for the rest of my guns! of course were talking $3000 plus stamps so it would be a rather large purchase for what it is. For the same $4,200 I could buy a lot of filament and stamps. |
 I had kind of forgotten the little stamp issue, thank you for injecting reality I think some of the cans have the means for a registered part that the printed part can be built around, but I don't have any specifics. the M1337 can design was kind of a joke, so I doubt it was fully considered for that. I don't know of any home-printed cans that can go 1,000+ with any reasonable firing schedule. For minimum price for 6 you'd probably be in the metal form 1 area, better chance of efficiently using bulk materials than just making 1 can. |

For minimum price for 6 you'd probably be in the metal form 1 area, better chance of efficiently using bulk materials than just making 1 can. @mPisi You gave me an idea as well to continue this thought exercise. The disc at the end of the barrels could be the registered part of the silencer, if anything beyond that gets destroyed it can be repaired, and I believe we are allowed to repair our own form 1 cans. What about adding a very effective muzzle device/muzzle brake, or even a blast diverter with an endcap to relieve the outer hoop pressure. All this equipment would be encapsulated within the silencer. For all that, one could buy some premade cups and simply print the major part to accept these cups (all legal rules followed of course), and make some channels between barrels for volume. I bet given all that it could be made quite effective. |

That's what causing his ignition issues with harder primers. |

Thanks! Just saw this thread today. I need to get printing! |
| My fight with kingroon brand pa6-cf is over. Got it to stick. Bambu default pa6-cf settings on smooth PEI plate with Elmer’s glue stick. Dryer it for 3 days and ran it into the printer at 70c. Just in time since I have 4 more rolls arriving today. |
