"while not criminal"

Hmmm. Making threats? Of a political nature in order to coerce change?

In my neck of the woods, we call that "domestic terrorism", but they freely admit that to the world:

V'Ger? ominous noises in the background

Having owned a couple low end printers, the ender 3 is my favorite budget option.

I've installed a couple upgrades, some of which I 3d printed on the printer itself, but my favorite ones are the borosilicate glass bed with a thermal pad to help spread out the heat quickly, and a dual z axis stepper motor.

If you're not into tinkering, I've heard good things about Bambu, although I do not know much about them myself. Apparently they're more user-friendly.

I enjoy working on my devices, but I would like something with more reliability than "recalibrate everything for every single print" sometimes.

It really is a hobby where spending just a little bit more will get you a ton of extra features and user experience.

Who said she's not also an atheist? The woman was just outside the mall crying, the person who "found $200" is the one who is praising a god.

Lol the people arguing about "evidence" and "investigations" are completely missing the real point, IMO.

If you or I were up on these charges, investigation, trial, and sentencing would be carried out in less than a month without hesitation or issue as far as the government is concerned.

The ONLY reason it's taking longer than that is because of who it is.

Full stop.

"hey let's release the same thing over and over again, charge almost full game price for it, and whenever something new comes out, just delete everything they've already paid for."

"hey why aren't people continuing to buy our game..."

Yeah. Great mystery, that one.

Bungie will never get another dollar from me.

Yeah, but if they do reasonable things, then they can't use her as an example/warning to ~~intimidate~~ persuade others to not protest except in perfectly acceptable, out of sight ways.

I've checked for the Azure Gate Bridge and whether green lights mean go, and so far I don't think we Slid anywhere but keep your eyes peeled.

From a certain point of view, you are 100% correct.

From a different point of view, he's a person with meat and blood held together with a fleshy bag thing, and propped up by calcium sticks. Or "inefficient bag of mostly water" if you wish.

Not everybody is useful. Every body can be good fertilizer.

The most reliable one I have uses an AR style fire control group, and large metal pieces for the bolt, and pre-hardened hydraulic tubing for the barrel.

There's plenty of metal in it, all held together via 3d printed parts and frame

The only things I needed to buy that I would consider "from a firearm" or "from a gun store" would be the fire control group. Everything else was bought from McMaster Carr or local hardware stores.

Spot on with the woodworking. I've made a couple stocks for my grandfather's old broken long rifles. It's just more time consuming. (also my 3d printer isn't that long)

The ones I have use 3d printed frames, the fire control group and barrels are metal with 3d printed pieces for making the rifling.

All the parts that take repeated heavy abuse are reinforced with extra thickness or different infil, but by weight I'd say it's about 50/50 metal/plastic.

The 3d printed lowers are quite basic, and since they aren't designed to take a ton of stress anyway, it's not really hard to find a decent design.

All my parts are printed in pla+, and I do minimal work afterwards to make things perfect, only what is necessary for the mechanical parts to cycle properly.

I actually haven't been keeping up the last few years, I wouldn't be surprised if there are even better methods than the ones I've used.

Important to note: 3D PRINTED FIREARMS DO NOT BREAK WITH A FEW USES

Firsthand knowledge.

200-250 rounds and still going strong, inspected before and after firing every time

No damage so far.

Beyond that point, I agree with everything posted.
