    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

        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.

          Ehh, I mean yeah I get what you mean, but guns are still pretty useful tools (if not exactly pleasant.) US gun fetishism is way off the deep end, but we’re still pretty far from “bluetooth smart diaper” territory

    Fuck the haters, OP.

    They will thank you for your experiment & sacrifice when they have to resort to printing these. When the only weapon left against the fascists, that confiscated all weapons, is this.

      Their friend used the weaker kind of material to make a gun and test fired it by hand. So the gun exploded, hurting them.

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

      edit: typo

        Did you send the model or pre-sliced files? Parameters like wall-thickness and vase/non-vase can have a huge influence on structural integrity.
