As a longtime member of the 3D-printing community, I'm alarmed by new legislation targeting the digital files, platforms, and machines that create weapons. It raises a powerful question: Who decides what can be made?
While 100% is currently impractical, you can actually print 95% of a gun for 22lr. You need a nail for a fireing pin a barrel insert, and spings you can get from a nerf gun. That said, you could use the same to convert a nerf gun.
I’m also not talking about the single shot proto gun you’ve seen, I’m talking about a scaled model of a 1911. Guns are so fucking simple and regulation is like trying to prevent lock picking.
No, you cannot have a firing chamber made of plastic, unless you use engineering grade plastics, in which case, it’s cheaper to just buy a gun, not like they are expensive or difficult to get.
You just bore out the barrel insert to receive the casing then reinforce it with 100% infill in petg or nylon. It’s not a perfect solution but my experiments last about 100 rounds before things get loose. I’m eyeballing injecting epoxy into low infill models next.
