Title: 3D Printing Guns Post by: Rob768 on November 08, 2013, 02:15:41 PM This is so off topic, but are any of you guys involved in 3D Printing at all? I ask because most of you are very tech savvy. I just got a makerbot Replicator last week, and am loving it. What do you guys think the future holds for 3D Printing. On a separate note, this metal gun was just 3d Printed yesterday. Pretty crazy! http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.php?439-First-True-Working-Metal-Gun-3D-Printed!

Title: Re: 3D Printing Guns Post by: MaxBTC1 on November 08, 2013, 07:34:33 PM I will not be happy until I can print a working blaster. Preferably the Imperial BlasTech E-11 Blaster. http://www.originalprop.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/star-wars-a-new-hope-imperial-stormtrooper-blaster-e-11-sterling-original-prop-01.jpg Oh lawd, imagine the fun one could have with that.... ::) Title: Re: 3D Printing Guns Post by: dank on November 08, 2013, 09:07:04 PM How long till we're 3d printing motorcycles? :)

Title: Re: 3D Printing Guns Post by: MysteryMiner on November 09, 2013, 01:57:16 AM Real gun needs high-quality steel that is heat treated. I think it's OK to 3D print a spoon. Nothing major happens when it breaks, just print another one. But when gun breaks there is high risk of injury to shooter and enemy will have a free frag. 3D printing does not have the same quality result as a real firearm.
Title: Re: 3D Printing Guns Post by: BTC_GHD on November 09, 2013, 02:42:00 AM I like to read up on 3D printing and such and I have know about guns being printed. I must say it's very interesting.
