tokabochi 9 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I went to Yamada Denki yesterday and they didn't have any. The world's first gun made with 3D printer technology has been successfully fired in the US. The controversial group which created the firearm, Defense Distributed, plans to make the blueprints available online. The group has spent a year trying to create the firearm, which was successfully tested on Saturday at a firing range south of Austin, Texas. Anti-gun campaigners have criticised the project. Not sure I can quite get my head around the idea actually. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 If I had a 3D printer, I'd make a prototype "dome" to show the folk over at Fukushima Daiichi and Mt Fuji too. I might also make a pie-making machine. Link to post Share on other sites

shadowtec 0 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hey All Long Time No Type I don't care much about the hype on the 3d gun (helps the Jurnos on a slow news day) I just hope lawmakers don't get their nickers in a wad and pass laws to ban people making stuff (3d printers, cnc etc) I have thought of building one for fun. I allready have a cnc machine and some parts for a c02 laser but everything is on hold for now because of a house move, then raising the budget for my next Japan trip this is my cnc which is in boxed up Link to post Share on other sites
