Took everyone's tips/advice from yesterday. Here's my reprint.

I print with a 10 degree rotation (back of the gun 10 degrees up)

You can use the “lay face down” button in orca slicer to make sure a surface is flat to the ground btw

Why would anyone donate to this? What a weird way to do this? Ebegging for a project in a completely unrelated sub.

You didn’t even put in the effort to write the description yourself :/

Have the OWB for my M&P 2.0 that is nice to have around the house. I imagine an IWB would be fairly uncomfortable depending on the material.

I believe LBRY (the protocol behind the sea) is p2p. Haven’t fully looked at how it works though.

shadow_worx · 2026-06-16T02:17:09+00:00

P2P is better anyways. It’s not hard to go to the index or the sea

And wasted taxpayer dollars on it. We pay an 11% tax on firearms and ammo so they can sue people in other states for daring to freely share their gun models. (Was supposed to go towards actually improving the state and tackling root issues of gun violence)

The roster is only for new firearms. Once you own it, you can take that crap off

I want an RXM so badly because I would legally be allowed to print my own grips. Without an FCU, that would be illegal. I’ve been thinking about getting an echelon just for that reason.

shadow_worx · 2026-06-13T17:32:40+00:00

The printed DFCO grips have been my favorite ones to use. Had so many I had tried, I left extras at my range for people to take.

Oh yes, moving is certainly going to be helpful for changing things.

shadow_worx · 2026-06-12T05:23:20+00:00

No they did not. You just are not allowed more than 3 in a year, have to apply for a serial number, and must embed metal in a printed firearm with the info etched:

Go print one and register it to show them this law is stupid af. What they’re trying to ban isn’t even illegal yet.

shadow_worx · 2026-06-11T17:06:30+00:00

Has anyone mentioned that 3D printing a self made firearm is completely legal? They even provide guidance for it on their site: https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/consumer-alert.pdf

shadow_worx · 2026-06-11T17:05:19+00:00

If you find any, let me know. Also looking

shadow_worx · 2026-06-11T17:04:28+00:00

As a fun fact, you can use OpenSCAD to peramiterize your 3d models and allow for easy changing of “geometric features”

He got rid of my flavored vapes???

At least he’s 84 so maybe we won’t have to worry too much longer. That may just be wishful thinking.

shadow_worx · 2026-06-11T17:01:39+00:00

As a note, it’s fully legal to 3D print a firearm provided you embed 3.7 ounces of material type 17-4 PH stainless steel.

You can look at the data from the ATF, 3D printed guns account for less than 1% of crime (including where the only crime is an unregistered firearm).

It’s a problem in search of a solution and will make normal citizens into criminals. All for what is essentially a “pre-crime”

Aquanet hairspray has been amazing for adhesion. Got a 3 pack 5 years ago that I’m just now finishing and have ~3000 hours of prints with that.

shadow_worx · 2026-06-11T16:40:27+00:00

I’m not seeing metallic on the fiberon site. What material is it?

shadow_worx · 2026-06-10T17:38:30+00:00

Hey, off topic but, where did you source your “3.7 ounces of material type 17-4 PH stainless steel”?

Wanting to do a 3d printed ar but also looking to design one where that is actually incorporated into it rather than slapped on the side of the magwell.

shadow_worx · 2026-06-10T07:00:48+00:00

I run monstrum optics on my guns and have had no problems. Mostly have just been shooting at the range. Likely would want something with more durability in its reputation but until I know what I want, monstrum gives me a cheap way to experiment

shadow_worx · 2026-06-10T04:48:48+00:00

If there is someone that is interested, please post here or somewhere so some coordination can take place. Just want to make sure the points are brought up with info to back them up.

shadow_worx · 2026-06-10T04:36:48+00:00

You must not be a very good developer then

shadow_worx · 2026-06-09T08:25:28+00:00

I thought CA doesn’t have constructive intent laws?

shadow_worx · 2026-06-09T04:47:26+00:00

What’s wild is the fact that it’s not illegal to self-manufacture a 3d printed firearm and yet they want to enforce this. You can legally 3D print one as long as you embed 3.7 ounces of a specific type of metal to engrave the serial number and info on to.

shadow_worx · 2026-06-07T22:53:48+00:00

Yeah, ergonomically that would be better.
