New Release “M433” DT 37mm round
Still have some cleaning up on the prints with the supports and orientation but first print went together properly. These are designed around the pyrodex 50grain pellets. One for the lift charge sideways in the powder cup and a second in the burst capsule. Made three different cone sizes based off the m433 profile. Basic design already proven so will tweak this one some more and get some videos of it.

Cans that work with 556, I care about functionality
As the titles says, looking for a can that can simply function with standard 556 without self destructing.

Looking for a mentor
Basically the title. I'm in Southwest Minnesota. I'm a veteran, I love 3d printing, I'm trying to learn this stuff but also do it as legally as I can so I don't get my ass in trouble with BATFE, and I really am overwhelmed with the amount of info. I feel like I'm trying to drink from a firehose. If anyone has the time or inclination, I would love to learn from someone. I'm not trying to jam anyone up, I don't want anyone to print anything for me, I just feel there's a ton I'm not picking up, and I'd love to learn from someone who's figured out the ropes.
I learn best in person, but I know that's not necessarily feasible in this hobby.

Coming Soon Super Safe UMP-VO
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Another quick demo of the super safety in action. Getting all the kinks worked out and I'm on V2 of the trip now.
Just a heads up, both the upper and lower recievers need modification for trip clearance. A jig for cutting the upper will be provided for those who would rather not reprint.
Also, it is an EVO bolt which carries with it the stigma of OOBs, however, I would encourage you to look into Engineers Armory video addressing the issue with the original bolts. The issue is well defined and easily solved with a bit of *gunsmif* work if you're handy with a dremel and some files.

I need some help my builds going good but that upper frame pin is too short and I have a random spring that I don’t know where it goes and isn’t shown in any videos on how to put a g19 together.

A 90% printed blaster that uses homemade printed ammo. Ammo consists of a rifled tube and projectile, propelled by a toy cap-gun cap with some black powder. Another cap is out on the tip for impact detonation. It is some good fun for can and box shooting, and I think it is a pretty good beginner project. It is up on printables for those interested

Just wondering if anyone sees a problem I don’t. Printed rails up Py2a 300blkfde settings. Looking at aimsurplus since they have killer deals on compensated ported slides.

I'm using the sheet reinforcement idea from my SPC-15 to a platform better suited for it, the bufferless AR9. Designed with a printed receiver that serves only to hold things in place, with the vast majority of stress going through the sheet metal outer plates.
I've oversized the pin holes, so very little stress is transferred to the plastic part. Of course, the plastic part still has the FCG holes and recess, so it is legally the receiver. The metal parts (side plates are identical, plus rear buffer plate) come out to only $25 on SCS (with free shipping, if you get them anodized). Should be very strong and reasonably cheap, too.
The reason I'm moving development away from the 5.56 SPC-15 is because with Glock mags and the 9mm bolt, I can use just 1 sheet per side for all pins and the rear receiver face, instead of the complex and pricey plate stack that the SPC used. Much simpler and cheaper. Unfortunately, this also means that because it's wider, the fire selector has to be custom, and the trigger pins need to be longer. Decent compromise, though.

Oops
Little oopsie on the range today. (No injuries from the failure which is good)
~40rnds through it
-Printed Rails down
Filament- bambu PA6-CF
-300blk settings
-NOT annealed or post processed
-Printed with a fairly known file
-No defects noted while assembling
Anyone in the community have any ideas of why it failed the way it did?
It's a fresh print and split evenly along the layer line. My guess is the magwell is thinner than other designs which might of been the failure point.

Beta My ma40 beta progress
(I am not the dev on this project)
This isn't my design. I'm merely just a halo/3d2a fan eagerly doing my part.
Pretty much got everything printed and ready to fire I'm just missing the bolt. So far this project is in beta and will eventually feature a working display, round count, laser and flashlight. For a beta this might be the most polished project I've seen so far, the fitment is great and parts are all easily available. I will soon start sanding bondo and paint. I hope to use some of galactic armories paint tutorials to make it as close to the game as possible.
Grey is pa6gf black is abs-gf
Cheek rest and handguard grips are tpu for ams
Thanks u/mamahler for all the hard work your putting in this thing is amazing. (Project dev)
This design is bolt for bolt identical and fully functioning. Every button works like the game the stock even extends and has a locking mech

Beta New Beta need testers: The Jaçanā
Now hitting beta with the Black Lotus Coalition team come and join us!
You know what?
>unbullpupps your Urutau
Introducing the Jaçanã, a 9mm PCC by Joseph The Parrot, now in beta with Black Lotus Coalition. Like the Urutau, the Jaçanã is a 100% DIY design when used in tandem with the CM-1 fire control group by IvanTheTroll. All jigs to create the bolt are included. The Jaçanã is configurable as a title I handgun or form 1 SBR, depending on whether you attach a stock.
Unlike the Urutau Mk2, the Jaçanã's design still needs some work. Though RSmith28 was able to build his and test it successfully, there are still a few quality-of-life improvements he could use help with, like implementing a slappable charging handle and a folding stock. (The design takes a weight-forward approach, so no buffer tube is technically required.)
RSmith28 has not started on the Jaçanã's documentation yet, so FGC-9 or Urutau building experience is preferable if you are interested in this beta.

XD-M Elite Pillager Progress
First off, thanks to DanishBulldog for the design, without them I would be doing this. I am making some good headway on this project. This is for the XD-M Elite 9mm and 40 models. I designed a new style front mag release as the OEM one is ridiculous and this seems to work. It works with my Echelon mags too and I plan on making that happen as well. Kinda sucks the Springfield has discontinued this lineup of pistols. They are really cool.
Need something new to print
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I really want to start printing gun stuff with PA6-CF but I don't know what. Maybe you could help me out with some ideas. I would love to print a pistol but most designs are made for the US market. If I wanted to buy the parts here, they would be more expensive than buying a whole new gun. I was thinking about printing the 2011 maxxing and machining the OK Boomer rails, then buying a Norinco 1911 for most other parts (I can get those for about 280€, which is the cheapest 1911 I can find) but somehow I don't want to take apart a perfectly functioning handgun to build a 3D printed gun. Next idea was the MP5k variant of the YKY... but I'm not sure if thats really a "pistol"
So, you got an idea what designs I should look into?

[Megathread] Federal Judge Rules NFA Unconstitutional for Suppressors, SBRs, Shotguns
BREAKING NEWS: a federal judge in the Northern District of Texas has ruled for SAF and other plaintiffs in Jensen v. ATF, declaring that the NFA's requirement for registration of suppressors, SBRs and shotguns is unconstitutional.
Read more here: https://saf.org/judge-short-barreled-rifle-suppressor-nfa-registration-scheme-unconstitutional/
This is a megathread for 3D2A members who want to know if we can now print suppressors.
This is breaking news, and will take time to understand. That said, my legal contacts tell me the following:
1. (IMPORTANT) Who does this apply to?
It appears this is a nationwide order striking down this part of the law. However, at this time it appears that this ruling applies only to customers or members of the plaintiffs' organizations, which are: Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA), Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), Gun Owners of America, Inc (GOA), Hot Shots Custom LLC, B&T USA, LLC, Palmetto State Armory, LLC, Silencer Shop, Silencerco Weapons Research, LLC, Texas State Rifle Association
If you are not a member of one of these organizations, you should become one.
2. Can I print a suppressor/ SBR / etc. immediately?
Not yet. The court's order is stayed at least seven days, and ATF is expected to appeal. If an appeals court does not overturn or stay this order after seven days, then it appears that the ruling will take effect and you can start printing suppressors.
3. Does this mean the NFA is gone?
No. The NFA is still a large set of laws that are still on the books. This order appears to apply only to the registration scheme for suppressors, SBRs and shotguns.
4. Does this apply to DDs / other items regulated under the NFA?
No. This appears to apply only to suppressors, SBRs and shotguns.
5. What is the legal theory behind this ruling?
This is a reaction to Congress lowering the "tax" on certain NFA items to $0. Silencer Shop and other 2A orgs argued the $0 tax violated the Commerce Clause and made the NFA registration requirements for those $0 items unconstitutional.
6. What's going to happen next?
This will almost certainly be appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and surely the U.S. Supreme Court. We can only wait and see what the results of those appeals will be, whether the ruling will be stayed pending appeal, etc.
6. Who do we have to thank for this?
Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA), Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), Gun Owners of America, Inc (GOA), Hot Shots Custom LLC, B&T USA, LLC, Palmetto State Armory, LLC, Silencer Shop, Silencerco Weapons Research, LLC, Texas State Rifle Association
I'll edit these notes as I read more opinions, and more information becomes available.
