Yeah there's a guy that printed an AR15 lower with a 3D printer. I will probably try to see if its possible when I get it and if the material is strong enough to shoot with.
There is some nice rubber-like material I could use to make holsters too.
When the funds allow it(college kid!) I'll...
Yeah I'm trying to get the funds together to build a plastic 3D printer first :P.
Try to make some cool accessories.
I've seen some crazy stuff go down with 3d printers!
When I build my printer I'll make some rail covers and magazines :). Not actual gun parts.
I'm writing the code for the BUIS but I don't have a printer yet lol.
Although, technically with a strong enough plastic and a few design changes one could 3D print anything.
They make some pretty rigid plastics, I am hoping to get my hands on a 3D printer soon so I can start. If i get one soon I'll make some giveaway threads here with magazines and such that come from my experiments :)
See depending on the type of printer used you can get some really nice polymers.
Same strength as like a molded plastic(think pmags).
I think with a relatively nice plastic as the base you could get the same quality as like magpul BUIS
So, 3D printers are becoming a way to rapidly prototype designs, and even build complete products.
Some of you may have seen the design for the AR15 3D printer magazine.

I've been drawing out some designs for other AR 3D printed accessories.

About a month ago I bought a saiga rifle in 5.45x39mm
I am now planning to tackle the conversion but am a little wary.
I am not that much of a handy man and I hope I dont bog it up.
Any tips or pointers?
I am only doing the pistolgrip/stock and trigger conversion.
I don't have a vice...
