What grade and type of metal is required for a gun? GCode.
Best of luck with your gun.
I'm aware it's possible to CNC gun parts and have never claimed otherwise. But isn't it just fascinating how all the people insisting its how easy and cheap it is have never actually machined anything?
It’s entirely possible the linked product comes with instructions on what material to put in the machine. It’s entirely possible they might even sell the required material.
Based on the reviews and videos of the product your skepticism is unwarranted. You’re just being a dick.
This isn't skepticism, this is actual experience machining parts.
At no point have I suggested that CNC machining gun parts is impossible nor that no desktop printers are capable of it.
I have very specifically challenged people who appear to have no experience machining parts but nevertheless insist it's no more difficult than printing your homework.
It's a lie that's used to undermine gun control and you're repeating it verbatim.
