    This might be the solution, ultrasonic 3D manufacturing (with metal):


    This next one has sound, so you might want to turn down your volume:

    Yes indeed. Violent individuals hate any competition. They prefer the outcomes fall in their favor all the time and see no issue with using violence to ensure it. This is why these individuals flock to the idea of government: they can violently crush any others who challenge their beliefs and positions of power no matter how ignorant they may be.

    Government is the act of hurting others. It is the ignorant who cling to violence.

    If they're banning large cap mags, maybe that's the what needs to be tested.

    To do this right, the properties of the material need to be taken into account and overstressed areas beefed up.

    I wonder too if reinforcement could be embedded in the deposition material if the printer head could work around the obstacle. This would probably require another generation of printers that would take into account such obstacles. One example would be with magazines: metal feed lips could be embedded, for prolonged life.
    Rand can win in 2016 only after the security guards will listen to us rather than the establishment hacks and only after we are able to ensure that the rules are followed and the votes accurately tallied.

    That is pretty good thinking.

    And being noticed

    Congressman Steve Israel (D-NY) is taking the issue of gun-related legislation to the 21st century, by calling for a ban on 3D-printed magazines. No, not the Us Weekly kind — the kind that you attach to a firearm, such as a partially 3D-printed AR rifle.
    Don't let others get you down. Not naysayers, not pretenders, not appeasers, not opportunists; none of em.

    What others do pales beside what YOU do.

    "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

    That is an AR 57 upper.

    I am wondering if they used a heavy buffer that is NECESSARY to slow the bolt. The 57 buffer is much heavier than one that comes with your average .223.

    This may have had nothing to do with the printing, but rather a lack of understanding of the AR 57.

    If something bad happens, we will be blamed. If something good happens, we will get no credit. If nothing happens, we will be forgotten.
