@valleyforge as someone who's spent the last couple days dealing with my 3D prints delaminating, collapsing, and warping, the idea of firing a 3D printed gun is terrifying. I would be amazed if it didn't come apart and at least break a finger or embed a bunch of plastic fragments into my hand.

They totally work. Here's a good video
@valleyforge I don't doubt that they *can* work if printed on a sufficiently reliable and precise machine! But my printer is neither of those, so I'd be buying the finished print from someone else - which kind of defeats the purpose.
@khird The fgc9 in the video is designed to be printed on an ender 3
@valleyforge Yep, that looks a lot nicer than my Printrbot Simple V1. I'd still want to do a lot of test prints to gain confidence in the print quality though.
