    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.

      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.
