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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
So, I am thinking about a Voron 2.4 kit.
Any suggestions? Formbot has some good reviews, but w/o printed components and an R Pi is kinda concerning.

Their price isn't great, either.
 
Would a Prusa Mini be good for this purpose? Deciding between that and an Ender.
 
Excuse the 2x post.

I decided on buying an Creality Ender 5plus.
Shit machine - but with a huge userbase there are litterally hundreds of aftermarket mods and upgrades.

I could buy a gorgeous Voron kit for > $2k, wait 6 months, and MAYBE assemble without issues. 90% of builds have at least one major issue.
or
blow $600 on an Ender, if I like it, upgrade as I go... Get it in 2 days.

3D printing MANPAD's when? (only partly kidding lol, I'm amazed with what people are doing)

There's a few recoilless rifle designs, but it's more of an attempt to get something fully 3D printed. Black powder. I'm probably remembering incorrectly too. Haven't looked at the new designs in a while.

With LBRY fucked over by the SEC, Odysee soon to be sold off, and their file download links already starting to break (especially for people browsing from Tor) does anyone know what the new home for 3D printed gun files is going to be? The main 3D gun printing group sites (Gatalog, Ctrlpew, Fosscad) seem to all link back to Odysee for file downloads, so their downloads are all fucked.

There are two functional 3D printed gun file archive sites that I am aware of on Tor and I2P, but they are static sites, not places where the community can social network and upload new designs:

Most of the 3d printed recoilless designs have a 3d printed electronic fire control group, and a large metal pipe.

A more practical design is just a large metal pipe, with a black powder percussion cap nipple drilled and threaded into the middle of the length of pipe, with a mechanical FCG to strike the percussion cap. Projectile in the front, powder in the middle, ballast of some sort at the back. (The IRA typically used cookies/biscuits as the backblast ballast in their "prig" launcher)

Everyone needs to stop shoehorning electronics into everything.

No doubt that the glowies fabricated the accusations against him, but his site "DEFCAD" is clearly in the hands of the feds now, and you shouldn't use it. There are better places to get your 3D print files.

The game has kinda changed:
-Not only with proposed revamping of the US 80/20 rules, and politicians calling EVERYTHING a ghost gun now
but also with printers, accessories, and filament.

There are filaments that we barely dreamed of 5 years ago.
-Glass filled nylon and polycarb
-High metal filled (capable of sintering)
-High fibre and wood fills (for that classic grip feel)

Machines
-The CoreXY brigade came (and might be leaving)
-Prusa FINALLY got a CoreXY (that's how you know it's over- what a R&D team!)
-Bambu is still hated, and still the best (debatable)
-High priced weird designs were trickling in from all over (visionminer.com)

Techniques:
-Salt curing and sand curing is back with interest
-recycling (fuck you yuropoors) and re-extrusion

Please share your info as it relates to high-precision/strength printing that we need in this thread.
My share:
The 'table tipping' is really wild. I'm not sure who can afford a $15,000 printer - I need a car.

I've not printed anything in a year. Ender 3 pro that I heavily used and then transported more than I should have. Extruder arm broke and the assembly I replaced it with skips (either that or the hot end just dies randomly and clogs everything up) and never got it reliable again. I also have dis and re assembled it too many times because it kept coming out of square transporting it more roughly than I should have.

Been having an absolute blast printing random bullshit with my new A1, mostly mags and accessories. Any recommendations for a fun poorfag build? I'm eyeing a 10/22 of some sort (preferably a pistol). I figure a .22 is a lot safer to have break on me than a pistol frame.

If you can figure out how to bond the receiver tube to the barrel the Mark3 is a very simple gun to build. I built one of 1018 plain steel. In the past they have been made out of Aluminum so I think 3D printed would work just fine if you can find a way to bond the receiver and barrel together well enough to handle the pressure.

Mark3 as in the Ruger pistol? I own a multiprocess welder and shielding gas, so if welding is needed I could just do that.

I've printed a Buckmark (filename Buckmarque on Odysee, use Yandex to search) and vastly prefer it over the MK series. The trigger is much nicer with zero need for replacement and seem to have lower pk price. Supposedly the chamber/barrel are closer to "match grade", at least compared to most Rugers you come across .
I scored my kit on fuddbroker for like $150 shipped and then had to call Browning and pay another $17 shipped for missing parts. Mags are best bought from eBay, about $55 for a 2 pack of OEMs (Promags are unusable).
I printed a set of grips, but only replaced the right side as I'm right handed and didn't need the thumb rest there.
I put some shim washers on the trigger pivot pin, put a metal shim under the trigger to remove take up, cut down the mag follower and safety for 12+1 capacity, and threaded the barrel for spooky goon activities. Currently running a Vortex Crossfire on the thing and it kicks ass, when it's not having malfunctions with the shitty ammo I'm feeding it.

I did get lucky with my kit even with the missing parts, as mine came with a TacSol rail which has a pretty high new price. Don't be in a rush to buy a kit, and maybe you'll get one with a rail, but there is a barrel mounted printable option as well. Thinking of mounting that upside down as a laser mount, but I may just end up machining something more compact/cooler looking.

well the more tools the better. I put mine together with a basic bitch Lincoln wire-feed welder. EXIF has been wiped so glowies can suck my cock. It has two barrels one is for targets and is extremely accurate, one is for people with "tinnitus"

Does anyone here know if there's a regular gun thread in General? Null mentioned it a few times on MATI and I can't find any of the such.
