    you know, if regular Law & Order were still around I would bet they'd have an episode within six months about a character based on that guy getting killed with a 3D printed gun

    What an idiot. At least he's being public about it though, I'd rather that to somebody developing a 3d printed gun in secret.

    Plus if someone wants a gun badly enough to buy an $8000 3d printer, they can probably get their hands on a better, cheaper gun more easily. The biggest problem is being able to get them past metal detectors, that's worrying.

    It's not like lathes exist at 1/10 the cost or anything

    people with ten grand to spend on a 3d printer and the know-how that is required to download the plans and click a button are far more common than people with a thousand to spend on a metal lathe who also have the know-how that is required to build a functioning firearm

    and that's if we accept that the one and only piece of specialized equipment you need to build a firearm is a lathe, which I am skeptical of

    A basically functional gun is a smooth barrel with technology equivalent to a pez dispenser at one end. Lathes require about the same skill to master as Microsoft Excel, and only take a while to learn because they can make all sorts of shapes - if you're only trying to make 1 or 2, you can definitely learn how in a week or less.

    Really, the hardest part of building a gun is making a barrel of the same caliber as the ammunition, which is the real limiting factor in homemade weapons. Look up pipe gun on youtube. As long as you have a pipe, you have a gun; the rest is just manufacturing quality, and the quality of the 3d printer gun is actually pretty crappy. In fact, the machine has to be modded just to make the correct smooth barrel, which requires understanding of how to manipulate 3d printer settings.

    The reason people aren't walking around with pipe guns is actually the same reason people won't be walking around with 3D printer guns: they can buy quality manufactured guns for way cheaper.

    Also, 3D printer guns do have an obligate metal component: the actual bullet.

    I'm pretty sure that is the exact plot of a 80's cyberpunk novel.

    gonna stop you right there

    because for an individual buying an $8,000 printer is more expensive than a gun

    but for a drug operation/organized crime/serial killer, 8000 bucks is a pretty low overhead for an infinite supply of easily destroyed, single use, untraceable guns.

    Plus, that 3D printer cost $8,000. The Makerbot will only set you back $2,000.

    You can get 3D printer kits for under $600, even less if you only buy the non-printed parts.

    Oh geez, I didn't think of that at all.


    What's the difference between $600 3D printer and a $8000 one? Just size?

    Actually a pretty big one

    You can only print certain things with a $600 one of a certain size/dimension, where as an eight thousand dollar one will probably let you replicate whatever you damn well please.

    Not quite. You can still only print things out of one kind of material.

    Honestly the differences between cheap 3D printers and expensive 3D printers are the same as normal printers

    Maximum print size, quality, speed
