basically what the title says, always print in abs kids, also don’t worry, I’m safe

    You test fired a 3D printed gun you had no hand in making… but your friend is the idiot? 🤔

      Yeah, using the wrong kind of filament accidentally is understandable and doesn’t say anything about anyone’s intelligence.

      Takes a real moron to test fire a brand new experimental gun in their hand, and then cry about it and blame their friend when it inevitably goes sideways

          nah, it felt heavy enough to be at least 100% infill, this is the reason there are no plastic fragments in my hand

            100% infill leaves no room for overflow/swell. Anything more than that is going to cause issues too.

        I think you misrepresent something here, I clearly told my friend which filament to use and trusted them, that’s why it’s mildly infuriating

          Using the wrong filament isn’t Darwin Award worthy. Test firing a newly manufactured weapon with your hand is. And that would be true even if this wasn’t an experimental home-made design…

          And in your opinion, how could I have better represented someone test firing a gun in their own goddamn hand?

          Wait, you’re right. After your reply I think “moron” was way too lenient of me.

          Please tell me you weren’t wearing eye or ear protection, that’d make this even better.

      I mean, I think that that’s reasonable. But that seems like a “get behind something protective and pull the trigger with a string” territory. Regardless of who printed it.

      If there isn’t some kind of standard safety checklist for printed weapons, I really think that there should be if lots of people are going to be printing these things.

        It’s common to call products dumb when they have the marketing strategy of tricking gullible people into thinking they need it.

    And you’re absolutely sure it had turned out differently with ABS? I’ve tried different filaments and to me it seems they’re all just plastics… I tried some mechanical parts and they all broke soon enough. So I’d say it’s likely an ABS gun will explode, too. Don’t try that with your other hand! This is more Darwin award level, than infuriating.

      I belive an abs gun should be able to fire 2-3 shots, also it’d probably crack instead of explode (according to people who tried it that is)

      gun made boom, but in the wrong direction, because my friend printed the barrel with a weaker material
