As a longtime member of the 3D-printing community, I'm alarmed by new legislation targeting the digital files, platforms, and machines that create weapons. It raises a powerful question: Who decides what can be made?

    You can’t actually print a working gun out of plastic, you need metal parts. People think 3D printers are Star Trek replicators.

      I saw a YouTube vid on 3d printing guys building glock based guns. Anything that actually took pressure (barrel, springs, extractors, etc) were store bought metal parts.
