  Please don’t, the plastic will almost certainly break after just 1 shot.

  If you want to make your own gun, you should use your 3d printer to create parts for a CNC machine, and use that to make the gun.

    ??? No just no…there are tons of files out there for 3d printed lowers and uppers. You still need metal parts, like the barrel and BCG, but you absolutely can 3d print firearms parts that last thousands of rounds.

    Also, that’s not how a CNC works.

      And then you have 3d printed guns that have zero “gun” parts

        Still requires metal. You cannot print a complete firearm with just a 3d printer, you still need metal that can handle the rounds…on top of that. You can’t 3d print ammo either.
