This thread is going to be swamped by people that don't even own a file insisting that machining your own firearms is better and easier in every aspect.

They're an interesting emerging technology, but these weapons are still not viable.
They're still little more than toys and experimental prototypes at this point.
However, the technology has advanced rapidly over the past decade.
In another 10 years these things could be a MUCH bigger deal than they are now, as in both far more practical and far more prevalent.
The whole decentralized DIY thing is also pretty neat as far as I'm concerned.

>>
>>62133736
I mean, they're still guns.
They're guns that suck ass, but they're still better than having no guns at all.
FGC9s played their role in Burma, but that's over now.
The war has progressed to the point where 3D printed firearms are superflous, all the different militias are running around with proper guns smuggled in from abroad, looted from government arsenals, or captured in the field from dead government troops.

>>
>>62133783
Are they viable as conventional military arms: No.
Are they good enough to kinda, sorta, work until you can get your hands on something better: Arguably, yes.

Other firearms which meet these qualifications include the original FP-45, homemade pipe guns, and muskets.
And no one in their right mind would claim that those weapons were viable combat arms in the modern era.

I am a machinist and while I would generally say that machining is superior to 3D printing, I don’t look down on 3D printing and think that it has a lot of useful applications.

The 3D printing gun community have in just a few years pushed firearms design more foreward than the vast majority of the industry have in decades.
>>
>>62133769
The FGC9’d probably played a role in weapons being captured or looted off of dead soldiers.

The FP-45 wasn't a viable combat weapon in the 1940s, let alone the modern era.
But there's a difference between "get close to a German and take his rifle" and "ambush a truck filled with government troops, use your FCG-9s to dispatch them, and THEN take their rifles". The FP-45 was made for close quarters assassination. The FCG-9 was used to win engagements against guys with proper weapons. That's different levels.
>>
>>62134181
That's BS, though.
You make your own barrels.
You make your own ammo from the components you can source.
You make your own bolts for pure blowback weapons, and if you need a lock or delay... come up with something rather than waiting for Ivan or AWCY to do your homework.
>>
>>62136708
The FGC-9 has used its own bolt and barrel for like 4 years now.

>>
>>62133690
Useful, although 3D printing lowers and uppers is something only valid for the US gun issues. You need electrochemical or regular machining to create an actual barrel. Sourcing ammo or creating ammo is an entirely different issue.
>>
>>62137222
>it doesn't count because it's not 3d printed, it's just amateur gunsmithing at that point
By that logic amateur gunsmithing doesn't exist either. You have to buy the raw steel in the form of sheet, rod or bar. No such thing as a "homemade" or "DIY" gun as you have to buy shit made in a factory.
>>
>>62133690
>Completely 3d printed, like the liberator?
Sketchy as fuck
>some non pressure bearing parts in addition to machined parts?
There definitely is a place in the diy world of weapons manufacturing

3d printing is not the go to solution to all problems, it is just another tool.
Can be quite versatile in the right hands imo
>>
if you live in a county where you cant freely buy barrels or bolts how do you 3d print a gun?
I know in the us the only restricted part is the receiver but elsewhere bolts, bolt carriers, triggers, barrels are restricted items, so how does one make a 3d gun without a barrel and bolt?
>>
>>62137533
just look at the pdf guide for the fgc9. printed trigger with springs from anywhere, manufacture your own bolt from a tube, and electrochemical machining for your barrel.
your question was answered years ago.

It's really not, if you have a 3D printer then an ECM rig for making barrels is extremely cheap, simple, and easy to use. It's not the same incredibly fast ECM process that's used commercially to rifle barrels, the DIY method is much slower, but it does work very well. I'd love to hear how you personally go about rifling barrels on a lathe.
>>
>>62137910
>used commercially to rifle barrels
yeah no, if a barrel is made with ecm it's literally dogshit quality. The only barrels worth buying are cold hammerforged

it's an argument for owning a 3d printer, it proves what the printer can do. but that doesn't make these guns any less shitty.

3d printing is neich, fast setup, on demand, distributable. It's more like the email forwarding software of workshops than workshop equipment. You might make and share test parts, scale models. You wouldn't even use it for a production run.

Ivan is a hipster faggot tool for larping like hes the modern day incarnation of John Moses Browning, all because he owns a 3D scanner and a ACAD license.

Most 3D printing dipshits aren't leveraging the tech anywhere near what they should be, and are chasing raindlbows trying to make it do shit it fundamentally wasn't fucking intended to do, let alone can reasonably, realistically achieve.

The obsession with 3D printed MAC receivers is hilarious considering how much of a pile of shit the MAC is, and that it'd be piss easy for the companies making these kits, to develop a roller delayed system that'd make these guns worth a damn.

3D printing was the AI movement before it was a thing, which was NFT's before it, and before that it was Crypto, and before that it was web 3.0, and before that...

And worst of all, 3D printing has given way to the delusion that you can do better, what countless manufactures have perfected over centuries of mastering the crafts of manufacturing and engineering. That you don't need formal education to be an engineer, that you don't need creativity, experience, or worst of all, fucking math, all you need is a 400$ printer, and enough fucking filament to throw at every single problem.

Case in point. How fucking hard would have it been to instead of 3D printing a retarded rip off of the ACE tube stock, you instead print 2 plates, one for the front of the stock, and one for the rear, that would accept 1/2" solid nylon tube, getting you an actual fucking polymer replica of the ACE stock.

3D nogs have no idea what the fuck they're doing. They have a hammer, and when thats all you have, everything is a nail. Except they're too fucking stupid to even use the fucking hammer end of the hammer to drive in nails, and insist on trying to use the claw to turn in hex head screws because they know a guy who owns a flathead screw driver.

The rivalry between machinists and 3D printers is 100% one sided. Machinists see 3D printing and go "hmmm.... neat!"

IRL nobody who actually knows wtf they are doing in the 3D printing community thinks it's a total replacement for machining either. It just enables you to do more advanced fabrication for certain applications for a lot less. Pretty much everybody actually into 3D printing is fully aware of that.

But some kid extrudes a shitty out of spec Glock frame in PLA and suddenly he's on /k/ ranting about how he's the next John Moses Browning and how BTFO'd machinists are.

"Nobody cares dude. Learn how to level your bed and set your temps properly before running your mouth. Maybe buy a caliper and figure out why your X axis is off so bad, jesus."
>>
>>62139596
id say 3D printing is revolutionary for production but the cheap plastic printers isnt the revolutionary part, its metal 3D printing that is game changing
the problem is its insanely expensive compared to standard manufacturing currently, in the far future when 3d printing metals is cheaper and more reliable, it will change things
>>
>>62139596
You dont think printers are gonna be able to use nanocarbons, metal and etc in the future being able to do insane tiny details you are retarded.

Look at how garbage it was in 2012 unless it was some retarded 50k printer. Metal printers have been a thing for years now and are getting better and getting. Shit in the future I imagine shit will create moulds and then grow the material inside of it with pressure and heat. This will absolutely be a thing by 2040 for small scale prototyping and shit.

As someone who has the equipment for both, machining is absolutely superior to filament 3D printing for anything that needs to be strong or have longevity.

That said, making things that work is the manliest shit there is and I support people doing it in anyway that they want/are able.

None of you consider using 3D printers to build welding jigs, or drilling jigs. Using wax for casting casting aluminum, using actual fucking casting aluminum and not just fucking beer cans. Or god forbid, using 3D printers as a jumping point for cheap plasma cutters so you can cut steel flat that can be bent and welded to make everything from fucking pistol slides, to triggers, to fucking receivers.

couldn't you just print a normal stock with favorable orientation (recoil forces along length) and then have some M5/6 bolts hold the mounting point to the rest of it?
fewer parts, fewer operations, fewer materials, better cheek rest geometry, etc. hell, if you want adjustability do it in 3 parts, butt pad (printed mounting surface down so you can texture the top AND/OR do it in TPU, then the main stock body(printed vertically), then the mounting hardware at the other end(printed however you want). then you have good print orientation for everything, you aren't limited in LoP and you can change the mounting/interface hardware. You'd also gain a shitload of stability in the transverse direction because your moment of inertia would be so much higher than two 5/8ths rods.
>>
>>62140419
That's weird, what with all the designs that utilize 3D printed drilling or welding jigs, cast receivers, laser/plasma cut components cut from sheet metal that get bent with 3D printed jigs and welded to make things like slides, triggers, and receivers.

Which is why none of you will ever be taken seriously by anybody within the firearms space. Because there is no posturing, no bullshitting in the realm of engineering. Your shit works or it doesn't. It exists or it doesn't. Its elegant in its execution and deployment of a solution, or it 12 pounds of thermoplastic welded together because you can afford a 200 dollar ender, but not a 100 dollar drill press.

And just like that, your infantile fantasies of sticking it to the man, being the thin line between gun control and true freedom go up in smoke.

>>62140487
Wow, you have a working hinge. Now show the class how it bends like a reed in the wind under recoil, how many attempts it took to print, and explain why a better, faster to make, and not to mention, cheaper solution is somehow worse?

>>62140497
Sure, you can totally just throw more plastic at the solution to end up with a stock that weighs 3 pounds, that's still held together by literal screws.

Which is entirely besides the point because OP didn't print a A1 buttstock, or a CTR. They specifically tried to imitate the ACE skeleton stock, which is why I reduced down to 2 3D printed parts that are assembled using nylon stock you buy from amazon for 10$.

>Sure, you can totally just throw more plastic at the solution to end up with a stock that weighs 3 pounds,
do you know how 3d printing works? you can set high perimeters, low infill to preserve stiffness(due to high second moment) but reduce overall weight. That's what's nice about 3d printing, you aren't beholden to things like material density because you can control that arbitrarily. designing against the strengths of a process is the sign of a bad engineer.
>held together by screws
you mean like, practically every stock ever made? screws IS how you hold the butt pad on, and my Magpul stock is held on my 590 with one, M6 screw.... on a 12ga.

>Most 3D printing dipshits aren't leveraging the tech anywhere near what they should be, and are chasing raindlbows trying to make it do shit it fundamentally wasn't fucking intended to do, let alone can reasonably, realistically achieve.
post your best print then dude? you didnt make the super safety you didn't make the plastikov 1 2 or 3
you dint make the fgc-9
you never made shit. anything some one else makes that works is a benefit to the community of gun owners as a whole and you likey call people in for having a fore grip on a pistol you jew

Given that they are shooting 10s of miles away, they really don't. Hitting a 169 yard long destroyer at 10 miles 17600 yards broadside is like 3 MOA, and they have a range of 14 miles, so closer to 2 if you are making hits

There is no printable 92FS frame, yet. The Sphynx frame by GeraldKatz is still in development, and I wouldn't hold your breath for it. Avoid DefCad like the plague, anything they have that you can't find elsewhere is something you DO NOT WANT, everything else is guaranteed to be found elsewhere because that's how they get their shit, they reupload others work and charge for it. It's a shit-tier honeypot.

That's one of TroutBlood's DB380s, based off Freeman's DB380 model. Unreleased beta shit, but functionally it's the same as Freeman's original model. It works very well, but it's picky about ammo, it doesn't like flat-nosed bullets and if you shoot a lot of 380 you know that's a big problem, fucktons of flat-noses out there. Actual round-nose from Fiocchi, Sellier&Bellot, Magtech, and Prvi Partizan all runs flawlessly. I've never put hollowpoints or other defense ammo through it.

>>62144033
Yeah I had only seen the beta versions, little over a year ago, it just seldomly crossed my mind, it's really the only fun left I wish I could rebuild from scratch, apparently though one of the most common, it is also harder to find a diy kit than for a 1911... Anyway, damn, I knew something was off about them putting some obvious vidya replicas on defcad.. And still charging a subscription. Iirc odyssey is still okay for a few things isn't it?

>>62146195
Yes, but a baseline knowledge of 3d printing will make your efforts and attempts easier. Imerse yourself in the youtube and reddit 3d communities and print a bunch of basically useless trinkets and toys, household items if you have a use for them, to build your knowledge and confidence.
>>
>>62133690
Good, and looking up. In under a decade or so SLS printing for plastic and metal WILL get entrenched in the DIY market.

>>62146195
iirc there is still a manual floating around how to build a FGC-9 with a 3d printer, salt, a voltage modulator and a small angle grinder.

Why no 3d printed bolt actions?

Because printed locking lugs don't work, if you get a cut kit with the lugs still intact you can print the missing, non pressure bearing, part.

ECM is machining. Lathe is machining. You're trying to be a dismissive purist when you don't do any gunsmithing at all.

Amateur gunsmiths produce or aquire parts and assemble them into guns. 3d printing is a great way to get a lightweight, tough, complex and dimensionally accurate plastic part with very little post processing.

>3d printed bolt action
Several on defcad and black lotus. The Myanmar rebels use a bolt action in the style of an AR-15.

>untraceable
You do realize that pretty much all the cnc machines made in the past 20 years or so are geolocated right? Some of the hobby stuff like tormach isn't, but any industrial machine is registered at an address and you need to contact the manufacturer if you're going to move it outside the facility.
>>
>>62149771
Don't care faggot. It is legal to own a CNC or lathe, printer or any other tool. It is also legal for me to make any firearms I want, including form 1 NFA items.
>>
>>62149796
I don't understand why you're mad.
I didn't say anything about the legality of you making guns, or even imply that you shouldn't.
I simply pointed out that modern cnc machines are in fact tracked.
>>
>>62149852
Tracked by the manufacturer for maintenance service contracts is not a national registry.
>>

>Tracked by the manufacturer for maintenance service contracts
Yes

Wrong.
It actually is exactly that. It's explicitly there so you can't pick up a haas or an okuma and send them to north Korea or Iran. Mori Seki just got in trouble for disabling some so they could sell them to Russia to get around sanctions.

It's better in that you don't need to be a machinist with a machine shop to make one. Also a blowback 9mm made out of scrap metal is pretty good in its category, but much more complexity is easy with printing. Hardware is advancing with 3d gunsmithing, but it's mostly become a software issue, and that has been advancing at an impressive rate.

that shit only works in US because you can buy a crate of ammo in any wallmart without providing id, weapon license and other schizo papers. technically you can make your own powder by cooking up some crude flash cotton but primer and cases are not so easy to make

i saw a guy video who made a folding glock, he made a "model" so 9mm wouldn't work i am so confused if he did that for youtube or it's an acutal 3d gun cause he used 50 dollar in glock pieces

is there a 3d printed folding glock.
