    You can make a completely 3D printed gun that will survive at least one shot. I’m sure if you’re using resin or carbon fiber reinforced plastic so you could probably get more than one shot off.

      Resin is generally more brittle than filament, FYI, and the real question with most 3D-printed firearms is whether the shooter survives “at least one shot”.

        Most 3d printed guns are either redesigns of existing guns replacing non pressure bearing parts with printed parts (look up FMDA17 a 3D printed Glock 17 equivalent) or mostly printed with pressure bearing parts being barstock or pipes (see FGC-9).

          I’m not really sure where you’re getting “Most 3D-printed guns”, but here’s one of the top communities of such. You’ll see quite clearly that MSLA is not the preferred method for production, parts or otherwise.

            I wasn’t claiming MSLA was preferred I was commenting in reference to the latter half of the comment. Most 3DP firearms last much more than a single round because they incorporate metal components where important.

            I’m familiar with Defcad, but would recommend The Gatalog over it.

              Oh, hey, thanks! I’m new to the concept and my interest is design adjacent: modded Nerf/airsoft arms, so I’m largely unaware of the intricacies of actual firearms printing — though, I’ll give Gatalog a look, fo sho 🤙🏼

                In that case you might want to check out Booligan Shooting Sports on YouTube (he took a similar trajectory as you), Fuddbusters, and Ivanprintsguns also have some 3D2A content.

      That may usually survive that one shot.

      Or it may fail and cause damage to the person foolish enough to be weilding it.
