There are absurdly more guns than 3D printer users. Even when there is overlap, any kind of mechanical application is a big problem for 3D prints, with clearances and dimensions being a bit off, as well as being less durable. Shits pretty likely to just jam up.
We're talking magazines, not full guns. Magazines are very simple, mechanically. And a properly calibrated 3D printer has very tight tolerances.
Plus, you can buy a 3D printer for like $100 that does well enough to make one.
Mmm no they dont. Resin print maybe, but thats just gonna shatter.
I have no idea why you think a resin printed magazine would shatter.
Do you know what a magazine is?
Also, I own a cheap 3D printer that would have absolutely no trouble printing a magazine
Cus ive done a lot of resin printing. Its a pretty brittle material not used for making parts for anything. Hell even a resin printed scope would probably shatter just from recoil.
I think your printed magazine would jam
Non-brittle resin exists and isn't any more expensive.
It’s a box with a spring inside. There is nothing complicated or difficult to manufacture about it.
And yet magazine jamming is a thing
Cool, sounds like you shouldn't be worried at all then. We'll ban the magazines and the guns that go in them and you can just use 3D printed ones instead.
