    I’m not quite understanding your question.

    3d printers have made guns. They are always bad guns because plastic isn’t great for the purpose. They work and prove the point enough to scare people who know nothing about guns and thus don’t realize why other methods are better and faster.

      My point is that a 3D printer isn’t necessary for making a gun, and that you can’t even make the parts that make something into a gun, using a (regular, commercial FDM) 3D printer.

      it’s like trying to regulate printers because you can “3D print a car”, when in reality you can 3D print a few accessories and components but the entire engine has to be manufactured differently…
