You can buy 85% complete AR parts that come with the patterns so all you need is a drill press from harbor freight and you are good to go. You can legally make 1 unregistered gun a year as long as you don't sell it to anybody and it's just for you. YMMV as I'm not a firearms lawyer, please read the ATF guidelines.

But if you get butt raped you will regret not owning a landmine.

that is scary... what will they think of next?

Anyone know if you can make bitcoins with the printer?

He was on 60 minutes last week.

You. Are. BRILLIANT!


Thank you for that idea. Time to beef up my home security system! :winkwink:

A unregulated gallon of gasoline and a lighter can do far more damage than a single shot .22

The 3D printing option doesn't really demonstrably change anything at all. Realistically, nobody now has better access than they already had. The unbelievably small fraction of DIY/Makerbot enthusiasts are pretty much already skilled enough engineers to fabricate something with better functionality than this 3D template already, and the printer materials are kind of pricey, all other options considered. The only thing the 3D printer is actually fabricating is the perception of some sort of new threat.

Now, the fact that the printer can be used to output various parts on demand is useful, whether you are fixing your AR or your washing machine, but that's a different discussion.
