Firearm 3D Printing General - Cody Wilson Did Absolutely Nothing Wrong

[Maxliam]

What's even funnier is this is nothing new, you can literally go to a hardware store and for less than a fraction of a high point can make a legal single shot shotgun. All this does is make it easier for even the most mechanically challenged to crank out a weapon.

A lightning link is like, remedial level machine work. You can make one with nothing but a hand file and a vice. Why would you 3d print this shit unless you were some fat American allergic to doing any work with your hands

The internal modifications needed to make a lightning-link workable are classified as a machine gun US law, meaning that you can not just hide a lightning-link in a hole in the backyard and keep your rifle by your bed stand. A drop in auto-sear is the only part that would be considered a machine gun, meaning you can keep your rifle legal, well "not having" an auto-sear.

3D printing is easier that machining something from metal. Anyone can do it. It is more open to the public than buying a 3000 dollar mill.

Milling machines that will suffice are very affordable nowadays. Just take it easy to minimize chatter, you’ll be fine. I’ve built a forged 80% lower with a jig and a wood router, so one of these budget machines would do very well. Here’s an affordable Grizzly 3/4hp 110v mill https://www.grizzly.com/products/Grizzly-4-x-16-3-4-HP-Mini-Milling-Machine/G8689

Putting this here because I’m criticizing the fact it’s drawn on a some type of software and not by hand like a real man would. Also pay attention to the footer in the blueprint for revisions and tolerances, for those who are not used to blueprints or drafts (whatever they’re called these days.) This is not illegal in the US and I found this draft free on the internet. Hopefully the upload works

I am looking to buy one in a few years. Thanks. I think that I would want one that I can hook up to my computer. Maybe I will build a 5-axis CNC to do parts for me.

Just looking at those blueprints I can see all the ways people can mess it up. 3D Printing has the potential to become idiot proof. You dont need to be an experienced machinist to 3d print a gun. One day maybe you could press a button on a 1000 dollar printer and come back to a full rifle.

It's all well and good that you can machine and print parts, but what happens if they start controlling sales of powder and primer so you can't even make use of your reloading bench?

At that point liberty has been fucked for years, we are flooded with North African immigrants, and I only pray for a global nuclear holocaust.

Ideally you can make primer from lead, nitric acid, ethanol, and a few other things. Then again if you are making primer, why not just make regular C4. Blowing up rail roads, power transformers, and optical fiber lines will do more to stop a government than guns will (in civilization with the brave new world expansion pack).

USA has some pretty retarded weapons export laws though.
It could be illegal to serve them to non-US users. Something like that happened with the Liberator.

Errverlords problem. lmao if Josh is dragged kicking and screaming out of his Ukrainian fox hole for "distributing weapons of mass desctruction" or some bs like that

This is not going to end well. Some day someone evil is going to misuse this technology, or someone will just use it period. When that happens this sort of open source technology will be banned.

To ban 3d printed weapons and weapon platforms almost all internet traffic is going to be heavily moderated and torrenting will be stopped in some way. One day technical knowledge will be regulated as well. Have fun filling out the paperwork for your programming textbook after completing your mandatory background check for purchasing 3d modeling software.

Drones can be 3d printed, so can fully automatic firearms with the right modifications.

We stand on the edge between government control of our lives through technology, and complete anarchy through open source. Every time open source tech becomes more powerful, the government becomes more authoritative for "our protection".

Soon open source biology and chemistry will be more powerful. Biohacking is already seen as a threat. It is no longer government backed researchers in multi billion dollar laboratories manufacturing superbugs, in 30 years it will be teenagers in their parents garage.

Just a little P90 inspired 1022

It uses mostly M6 bolts and threaded inserts. Printing cost is 20 dollars (if using Amazon PETG). The barrel, magazine, bolt, and trigger group can be purchased off ebay for may 200 total.

The stock and fore-grip have spaces for storing batteries and an arduino. This could be used for DIY smart optics, lasers, cameras, lights, or fire controllers.

@Distant Stare i always hear people talk about 3D printed firearms, why never explosives? DIY landmines would be interesting

Boms are easy to make without plastic. Just get some pipes together and add an energetic material

Anyone have any experience with this? I REALLY want to try it out, but have zero millwork experience.
Also, how the fuck do you order one without getting on every watchlist from the ATF to the SPLC ?
I was thinking about a personal pickup, but you know there is a Flowers By Irene van permanently 'delivering' across the street.

Pay me a 10% fee and I will ship it for you. I am already on watch lists so I dont give a fuck. I have done nothing illegal or immoral so why should I care if I end up on one more. pm if you are interested

*Crab Rave plays In Background*

Not ready to go inna woods just yet

The German Synagogue shooter used some parts 3d printed parts on his shitty gun. He used PLA plastic, which is very weak and brittle. A much better choice would have been PETG. It can be printed on most cheap printers and does not shrink like ABS. These guns did not work, likely because he did not have a place to fire and tune them in.

I wonder what printer he had. My bet is a Ender 3, tevo, or Anet A8. He must have also had a home milling machine. He said that his barrel was rifled, which could have been done with a 3d printed jig and electrochemical cell.

I'm a glass-filled ABS kinda guy for strength. Never tried PETG. Personally, I've never made anything beyond simple mechanical items on a 3d printer.
I agree that The Liberator might work, anything more complex is doubtful...

Any updates on Cody and his setup-sting ?
