They always fucking upload sideways
4chinz removes exif data on all boards other than PrepHole. This includes rotation data. Make sure the picture is oriented correctly, crop it, and save. Then upload. This will ensure the picture is facing the right way up
Thats looks pretty fuckin cool honestly and now I want one.

One of these and a spool of PLA+ and you can print anything your heart desires
I'm honestly surprised there's no /3dpg/ or something on PrepHole yet. Maybe i'll make one someday
hmmm very tempting but frankly i need the money right now to work on my other projects. Also is there a more inside guide on that AR15 bullpup Im curious on the internals for the bolt and how it runs.

There's the original plebbit post about it.
>but frankly i need the money right now to work on my other projects
Understandable, but the best part of a 3d printer is once you have it the only cost is plastic and time. My buddy has like 20 glock 19 frames ready to slap a parts kit in at any time.
The annoying thing is the rails for them
No rails required:
DB380, EAA Witness, Hi-Point CF380, C9, JCP40, JHP45, Tokarev TT3, M&P Shield 9, M&P 9/9L/9C, Taurus PT-111G2, G2C, G3C, G3, 709 Slim, SP2022, FNS9/40, FNX9/40, Ruger SR9, SR9C, Beretta PX4
And that's just the "real" guns, doesn't include mostly DIY shit like the Dirty Harry and Private Eye revolvers, the UD380, the FGC9/WTF9/MOD9 etc, the "chairleg" carbon fiber M-11, VP22 bolt-action pistol, the Yeet-22, HD22C, EZ22 (comedy plastic AR bolt, pure gold).
Or you can just make your own rails if you're so inclined, the actual specs and drawings are there for making S&W SD/SW rails and of course everything Glonk.
How do all of those work with plastic frames and steel slides? That’s not a recipe for success.
They work the way they did from the factory. Look at shit like the M&P 9, the Taurus Millennium series (G2C, etc), the Ruger SR9, they're just plastic frames with parts that drop and pin in place. People have been building these for over 4 years now, they work extremely well and when made correctly they can hold up for thousands of rounds.
Oh so the FCU has rails for the slide to ride on. Got it. Thanks anon
A lot of those already use plastic frames.
A lot also use metal rails within the frame. It’s not metal riding directly on plastic.

I stand corrected, its a whole upper reciever, the FM-15 upper reciever.
>no /3dpg/ or something on PrepHole
they show up every once in a while but there's not enough demand for a full general
That would work but leveling is gonna be a pita without an ABL.
Cheap printers usually aren't worth it with how much tinkering they need. SV06 or neptune 3/4 is more up front but pays for itself in the long run.
That listing comes with a CR touch ABL sensor. I agree more expensive printers are better but anyone who's not a moron can figure out how to get good prints on a chinesium printer.
You're right, that's damn cheap for the features you get. My neptune 3 had pretty bad zoning for abl and no all metal hotend so I returned it for a 4.
Kinda regretting it since I can't figure out how to get octoprint to see it.
I use an Ender 3 with few problems

anything a man makes via computers and inhaling chinese nanoplastic to possibly circumvent the law (bad) is inherently mega based and all who disagree should print a large and vented caltrop at very high line thickness and sit upon it to cope, seethe, and dial the product of four and two
They come up a few times a month but are target #1 for forumsliders and demoralizers. They always get spammed by a million "nice try glowie" posts and die.
Actual PrepHoleommandos would know decentralized and non-serialized production with the capability for rapid design prototyping/iteration is based as fuck.
You need a special bolt carrier
you need a special pushrod upper. AR180 style and whatever other piston operated upper you can put on a stardard lower will work as far as i know
Why would they be anything but based? It's true that for now they tend to be inferior in capabilities vs what can be made with more serious manufacturing equipment, can't do everything or all the same material options yet. But the trend is nothing but positive.
oh i know they are based but i thought asking would get more (you)s

thank you for letting me know this shit finally dropped
and what shit is this if I may ask?
rip tide rails 3d printed aiwb holster. Printing one right now for my g17 for lols. It still needs some normal holster screw components to really work however. Incidentally my print looks like shit with a ton of ghosting so im calling this one a mockup.
any hobby that requires some amount of 'tism gets its share of trannies.
If they’re making their own guns to get around constitutionally dubious laws, they’re bound to be at least tolerable most of the time

Does anyone make something like this but out of quality materials?
no, why would you? just buy a kel tec at that point
so you mean just milling out metal?
Supposedly there are a few people who have made attempts at casting/milling the FGC-9, but I have yet to see one finished. There's that video of a guy talking about starting that project on YouTube with no updates so far. There's nothing stopping you from doing it if you have the equipment, but the whole point is to be able to make something relatively cheaply and quickly with little to no actual machining work.
That depends entirely on what sort of conditions you define as "best", but I would say DB Firearms designs are some of the most durable looking PCC/Pistol builds, namely the DB Alloy, which uses metal plates to reinforce the lower where it mounts to the MAC upper. I'm currently building one in 5.7.
Im impressed with a lot of the mac frames coming out. I dont know if any of them are good but they look nice.
Are any of the designs out there close to commercial quality? I dont mean like is the fgc9 just as good as an AR, but is it possible to 3d print something that would rival what you can buy in a store?
>I dont know if any of them are good but they look nice.
they're literally all good quality if you know what you're doing. all of them are tested and the parts doing the heavy lifting are all machined
>Are any of the designs out there close to commercial quality?
damn near, and it doesn't really even matter because you can print a new frame for $3. a properly set and equipped ender 3 can make reasonably high quality frames that last for thousands of rounds, likely more than that. DB alloy is relatively new, macdaddy is years old with resounding success, SVTR is years old with resounding success. MAC frames are here to stay and will probably never stop being a thing because they're piss easy, potentially very cheap for what you get, and function well.
I know they wont blow up in my hand. I guess most of the videos ive seen are just people mag dumping into the berm. I get that quality is going to vary a lot based on how skilled the person printing it is but id still like to see like an accuracy test or someone talk about fit and finish or something.
Slambang shotguns can run great but i wouldnt call one quality you know?
Im not hating, i think theyre really cool and i just got an ender 3. Im trying to learn more about the different designs and capabilities out there.
I dont know how or what glocks are actually made of. Im assuming some type of injection molding nylon. Ive got no idea how that would actual compare side by side with a 3d printed frame.
>an accuracy test or someone talk about fit and finish
Accuracy and fit & finish are directly related to how well your prints come out (ie printer tuning), and how well you yourself can actually shoot.
>but is it possible to 3d print something that would rival what you can buy in a store?
I see no reason why a glock frame from a well-calibrated printer would be any worse than an OEM frame.
Printed frames are a lower quality material. They are much more brittle. That doesn’t mean they aren’t good, but PLA+ is not the same as a a factory “plastic”
you mean bullpup conversion kits for the AR?
yea, just look up "ar15 bullpup conversion kit"
Yeah the SA80.
>buy kel tec
nice try shill
cope moron, kel tec is great and you are retarded for not liking them
>get everything they need shipped to their door
Not in IL, even the smallest part for a "banned" firearm is banned from being sold or shipped in. They've completely stopped the creation of ar15s unless you have a CNC machine
Are there generally considered "best" 3D printed guns out there?
?si=5yVMLJpbUD8iC7jU
what's k opinion on mech tech's pcu? how well do you think a 3d glonk frame would hold up ok on one?
probably fine? anyway that's a dumb idea, for the same money you can buy a dedicated PCC. solution in search of a problem. maybe when PCCs weren't as common it was a good idea, but not anymore.
i suppose your right, i was sloshed blowing money when I decided to go for the the mech-kek and now I just have it. I like that it's 16invh barrel that doesn't need a stamp (it's technically a pistol accessory not sbr) thus makes for a fun backpack plinker
I just want something to cool to replace my g17 frame that I have on it all the time though
>it's 16invh barrel that doesn't need a stamp (it's technically a pistol accessory not sbr)
anything >16" is a rifle you fucknuts, you literally negated the main benefit of this whole setup. i don't even know why they offer these moron-rig kits in a 16" barrel. again, you could buy a PCC for that price and have the same thing. these kits make sense in like 6", 10", or 14.5" setups but not 16".
yeesh ok dude I heard you the first time, pcu is gay but pcc kit that isn't gay. you got pal, no need to nigwig just because I ask a couple questions
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOU MADE A POOR PURCHASING DECISION AND I AM ANGY AT YOU FOR DOING IT
no but really. im more pissed at the company for still being in business. its kind of like getting pissed off at a kid for buying too many robux, or a dog for barking at a cat. it just happens. PrepHoleommando buys dumb shit. we've all done it
I just wish there were more 3d printed practical guns that didn’t need any gun parts
What AR-15 lower would you guys recommend for printing? I'm Euro, so UBAR is not an option because it requires non-metric bolts.
>""""""3D printed"""""" gun
>90% of it is just actual gun parts
Theres plenty of fully homemade 3dp, but in the US the frame or reciever is the only relevant part
fun+cool/10.
Are the files available for print?
I'd like to see one made with the PSA jakl upper.
did some looking and i guess that guy made a second one
I love my plastic guns, I've heaps of them. Cheap as shit to put together, infinitely customizable, fun stuff.
Based leather worker
Got any tips or source material for someone that wants to learn?
Kits, start with shitty little kits. They save you from investing in any specialty tools right away by doing the hard parts for you, but they'll still give you a feel for what you're doing without busting your wallet wide open. Check out Tandy 4180 and 44455, both highly recommended. You don't need much to do a kit, you can slap one together with nothing but what's in the bag if you're so inclined. As you start to pick up tools and ideas, you can still apply them to kits to make more impressive stuff without needing to go the full-monty and doing it all from scratch. Even the stuff you make from a cheap kit is still leather, it's hard wearing and tough, a $10 kit can still make something that lasts a lifetime and if it ever busts a stitch you'll be comfortable fixing it.
Tandy Leather is king and has been for a long damn time, and they have stores in most major cities in the United States and Canada. They're a great resource, not always top-tier tools/materials or the best prices, but it's a one-stop-shop you can trust to have what you need 99% of the time, and a pretty solid chance of an old guy hanging out who's been doing this longer than you've been alive.
Thanks for the advice! Pic related is some of the leather working tools, supplies, and firearm paraphernalia I snagged at an estate auction so I should mostly be set with tools, too bad the prior owner was put into assisted living and his house was rat e moist to say the least and thus when picking up everything the basement had multiple fans, dehumidifiers, and sub pumps running to remove moisture. Many tools have rust but I think they should all be salvageable.
I live in a rural setting so the drive to the nearest leather store is 1-2 hours one way but thankfully there should be some farms and mom&pop slaughter houses that are sourced for leather. I even have possible source of bison leather so i’m greatly looking forward to that.
I think my greatest trouble for the craft now is finding the time outside of work, commute, and general responsibilities. Hopefully once I organize my workroom things and with winter I will have more time to dedicate.
Cheers!
Uhhhh soul?!??
Thanks…?
where does the buffer tube go?
It's an FM-15 upper, it don't need no buffer tube.
Theres too many players and projects to keep track of each one. Is there a good index or something of all the interesting stuff and their status?
Nope <3
Well fuck. I hate having to follow like 80 accounts and theyre all fucking memelord discord fags.
I mean that in a not mean way but I dont care about how you feel about new mexico, or trannies, or trump. I just want to know if the widget you were designing is out yet.
search "3D gun developer and content creator list" on odysee
Il give it a look, thanks.
Im sorry youve got to deal with that man. Keep making cool stuff but the yeah the whole "community" is something else. I dont know how much of my grief is tied up in twitter and discord and the nature of those or with the actual people but its painful trying to interact with a lot of them.
The actual creators dont seem too bad but the cult of people around them make me want to pull my teeth out.
Find out who makes the stuff you like and then just follow them on odysee.
It's my least favorite thing about the community and why I don't get into the chatrooms and shit anymore or discuss the stuff I design. You pop out one mildly interesting thing and you've got an endless stream of motherfuckers from then on seeking you out on every form of social media, or worse you hear your god username uttered at the range. I don't want to join the Freedom Boys, Proud Men, The 1776 Brigade, The Flag Lovers Society, North Carolina America First Club, ANTIFA, Pride Defenders, or the Finasteride & Firearms Club, but the constant inundation from these retards never stops. No, I won't make you ANYTHING, but the requests never stop. Nope, I don't sell illegal bullshit, no I don't have or make machineguns and I won't make you one, no I don't sell in Mexico, no I don't ship anything ever much less overseas, no I will not make you a Glock switch Tyrone, no I will not sell you a Glock switch T-Bone, no I will not link you to one of the easily found Glock switches Tobias, no Mr Glow I don't own any guns that I have to keep "on the down-low" because I'm not a crackhead or a schizo, and no I'm not going to release [one-off meme project] so stop fucking asking. Can't ask a question of anyone else who does this without first finding out which random Discord/Matrix/Rocketchat/IRC/Reddit/Twitter channel/thread/board they hang out in, and god forbid you actually ask the question because now you're in the clown show and can expect 9001 DMs that say "pwease pwint guns fow my convicted fewony fwiends so we can defend our homeland of Damen Avenue, Chicago."
What BCG and spring system is this using? This actually looks pretty decent as far as AR bullpup conversions go. (though tbf that's an extremely low bar)
do they also print the metal parts? or just the platic body?
Has anyone made a full retard 3D printed gun yet? I'm just genuinely curious, ATF pls don't shoot my dog
Swift links for ARs are very common. It takes less than an hour to print and costs like 5 cents. Real SOTs have printed and function tested them on video too, if you don’t trust randos on the internet. In terms of a full gun, there are hybrid metal/printed tube SMGs from professor parabellum that use a AR trigger group. It’s “purely academic” but set up for full auto
Thanks anon. Is there anywhere I can see online about SOT function testing? That sounds really interesting
The video style might not be your taste, but here is one
https://odysee.com/@Deterrence-Dispensed-Media:6/YankeeBoogleReleaseTrailerx:b
Here are shorter ones.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/14c4LKGZfMs
I would suggest looking at "Moms Demand Full Auto" and "Yankee Boogle" for drop in auto sears for ARs. For Glock switches you can look at "Giggle Box" and "Glock InvisaSear". You can also find M16 drilling jigs to drill the 3rd hole on a lower. There are certainly more options. All of these are on Odysee.
Lastly, here is the hybrid tube/printed SMG. Professor parabellum has been publishing sheet metal plans for well over a decade. Printing makes part of it easier.

There's a few binary and "forced reset" triggers out there. And 3dp 'coathooks" have been around for a minute.
3d printers are very useful, I have printed tools, jigs, parts for machines that aren't made anymore. Like parts for garage door, or incubator for my chickens eggs. Toys for my children, trinkets for the wife. After all that, to me, being able to print glock frames, 3011 frames, among others, is just the cherry on top. Currently printing a scorpion evo. Although, I am looking a getting a better print, probably a bambulabs p1s. I'm tired of my ender 3, I spend more time fixing and calibrating the thing than using it. Does anyone have experience with bambulabs?
currently i have an ender 3, an sv06+, and a p1s
the p1s is a very nice printer, I've seen 6 minute benchys on modded ones, it prints at high quality and high speed. main complaint is how god damn long it takes for it to start a print with flow tests every single time
Also, bambu is extremely proprietary, I worry if they'll still support the printer in 5 years, but for now, it's an excellent printer
if you're looking to save a buck, get an sv06, it's the best cheap bedslinger, if you're looking for the best printer for what you need, p1s
oh, and Orcaslicer is literally just better BambuSlicer and you should use that
A milling machine is based, a 3d printer is cringe, simple as
Both should be treated as tools serving their own purposes.
It’s best to have as many tools at your disposal to achieve the most.
>t. owns neither nor knows how to use either
yes, a milling machine is nice to have if you want to bring your 3d printed parts to precise dimensions and good surface finishes
machined or sanded ABS is unbearably pleasant to touch
