They are currently developing circuit boards for ECM and pulsed EDM machines.
As well as guns that require fewer and fewer purchased metal parts.
And home rifling techniques.
Did you guys ever hear about the 3d printer guns?
I've been a fosscader for years.
I was the guy who nagged FP into doing the Fruity Ghost.
I too would like more guns
I haven't been following it too closely, but I'm happy about the legal win
Same
That was defcad, not fosscad.
Fosscad NEVER stopped releasing stuff.
OH
Yeah I know what you're talking about now
Heard of the Shuty?
I have not
I'm pretty out of the loop these last 6 months
It progressed to the gluty.
Started out like this.
Then we got another version of the shuty:
Then we got the gluty.
Then we got the smaller version:
@Seatoast, @Dinosorcerer, More compact.
It is quite cool
Complete build:
@Seatoast, @Dinosorcerer, you guys familiar with how 3D printing high-temp polmers requires a huge, heavy water cooled hotend, and how this reeks havok on the speed of your printer?
Nah, I love the legal freedom of them but I wouldnt typically use them
(You have to move something heavy.)
I shoot alot and they really dont fit the bill for me
@Seatoast, a crazy old man who frequents fosscad invented an absurdly compact water cooled hotend that is tinier and lighter than the normal ones.
They are paving the way for us
If it ever cam to it we will thank them later
He teamed up with an engineer and now fosscaders can buy actual PEEK capable printers for cheap.
Nice
I should get one for the habbening
(PEEK is the hardest plastic to extrude and melt.)
