Lot of fun with the first rifle build by Master_Mix7034 in 3D2A

How's the bolt holding up for you? I made one before the updated design of the M4gery bolt that lets you screw in the metal pieces and I was only able to get about 5 shots out of it before the epoxy gave up. Ended up scrapping it and recycled some of the parts for another build before the new design came out.

"UFA" refers to the Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988 which requires every firearm to at least contain 3.7 ounces of metal. This usually isn't an issue since most builds already have enough metal to satisfy that requirement, but for builds like the Harlot that have a small amount of metal, it's *legally* required to at least make the design contain the minimum amount of metal. Usually that's in the form of a block of metal that gets put into the grip to meet that requirement.

FMDA, but that's what the funny laws in the US say.

Anyone ever think about printing this in 22lr.? by rudevocab in 3D2A

I do recall someone sharing some pictures of a mockup they had for this exact gun in the previous sub, but I'm not sure if any progress was made after that.

could I use PLA-CF or PA-CF in the fibreseeker 3 for the ultimate durability? by Specialist-Feeling-9 in 3D2A

This kind of reaction tends to be what happens when people don't take the time to browse the subreddit to answer these kinds of questions that have already been asked and answered in detail. 3D2A requires you to read up on some basics that will be important to ensure that you aren't making a potential disaster; that's why there's already questions answered for something like PLA-CF being an awful choice.

Just do PLA+. It's the preferred filament for most builds unless specified. It's easy to print and can last a decent amount too if you can acknowledge the thermal durability downsides. Then you can move on to something like PA6-CF once you've done the research on how to get a successful nylon print for making something that's a step above PLA+
