This was a good video... 
However as I have been in manufacturing for more than half of my life and I do wish they would refrain from using the term "printed gun"
I think 3D printers are eons away or possibly never from being able to "print" a reliable gun! I may be wrong, but I have even been involved with these machines and the precision fit is not there and requires tooling of the printed part to be functional.
also, the anti's now claim we can just print a gun and shoot someone! This is non sense ... You can print a part but not a mechanical device with precision moving parts!
I am elated what he has achieved with the lowers .... kudos! He deserves it! This country needs minds that think outside the box and put forth the effort to achieve great innovations...such as the printed lower and the 3D printer itself.
