I caught this on the news tonight, defence distributed in the US has successfully printed a full plastic 3d firearm. Been following their progress for a while now as I started to get interested in 3d printing a while ago.
Is this a bad thing? I was under the impression that home made firearms were relatively easy to make anyway (could be wrong about this not looked into it much).
To me it seems a tad blown out of proportion.
As an engineering exercise it would be interesting to see how they have managed to make it work with ABS.
The CAD files can be downloaded through their website.
