What would you make if you had a 3D printer?

Nobade WINS

YUP threads closed we're done here

[rondog]

Zero interest in them. None, nada, zip, zilch. Although Nobade does have a good point.....

Here are some items being sold by one of our site sponsors! Ii've bought a couple and they work great!

I'd make the cutoff lever for my neighbors 71/84 Mauser. Everywhere I look they are Out of Stock. Would also make parts for a shooter at the gun club who is paralyzed from the mid-back down. He needs special parts to be able to pull the trigger and although I can make them on a mill, a rotary table would make them better. And I don't have a rotary table. The guy shoots skeet and has to rest the forend on the back of his left hand and has to pull the trigger with the back of his right hand. I make the trigger extensions that extend out the side of the trigger guard.

Die stands and tool holder

Large bore single-stack AR mag followers, primer catch tray for Lee Pro 1000, labeled holder for brass expander plugs, misc soft parts, small scale media separator, toys for the kiddos.

My neighbor has using my mill and lathe for building an R2D2 robot in my shop.
He as ~ $30k into it.
He bought a 3D printer and has made some parts.
The female threads smaller than 1/4-20 do not print well.
We are still doing convention drill and tap on small holes.

Maybe NOT

Here is another similar but without 3d printing.

Yep, I know - I posted it when Jerry added it to his channel

I have seen the primer catchers for RCBSC, but the Redding Big Boss II and Lee Classic Cast have a hollow ram. Even with this system primers pop out the priming arm slot fairly regularly. I do not want to close it up as I am going to use it. Right now I stick a piece of foam in there, but I think a small piece could be printed with a lip that slides into the top of the ram right behind the shell holder so it would not fall down the ram.

Dummy rounds/snap caps, length gauges, O.A.L. cartridges to speed up die set up, trim fixtures, non-marring jags for gun cleaning, colored sight inserts for AR and others, HP drilling fixture, barrel cleaning guides, heck you could make your own volume type powder dispenser/measure with custom charge bushings, there are endless opportunities.

[Ural Driver]

First I would build, another 3D printer to have in reserve for when I wore this one out.......

[Black Beard]

A primer deflector for my Lee single stage press that doesn't have the arm on the side and priming attachment. So it stays in place and just deflects primers when I am depriming. I could just grind the unused bits that come with the press but it seems like a waste. Or Mr Lee could make one and sell it for very little.

[wonderwolf]

A ceiling mount bracket for our epson projector.....new apartment has some quirks were trying to deal with still.

I'm still wanting a 3d printer and after seeing a metal laser engraver I would like one of those as well. Be a good way to mark my magazines for matches. Right now we just use paint pens and that lasts for a little while but its far from idea.

Diamonds! all it takes is Carbon for a media.

The LoaderTools group on Facebook is run by a guy that sells 3D printed stuff. Most of it I have seen other places, but he did have primer directors for the cutout in my Redding Big Boss II.

Misuse of 3D printers can be disastrous.

You must have actually stood there and seen what they can actually do, not a heck of a lot. Over hyped technology that's been stagnant for decades.

Id offload the best 3D printer money could buy for a good 5th axis CNC and a live tooling lathe in a heartbeat.

I dislike plastic so much I'm with you all. I'd rather have a lathe, drill press, and the traditional tools. I'm the type of guy who doesn't go and buy a Glock, but a 1911... All my guns have wooden stock too.
