3D printers
So these are apparently gonna be the next big thing,
Cos the patent has run out on the inventors and now its gonna blow massive. Heard stories about people 3D printing guns and shit. But the burning question on my mind is can I make my 3D printer make me another 3d printer? Could I even get my 3D printer to make me a 3D printer that is better than my old 3D printer? |

Yes you can make weapons which is why 3d printers are extremely dangerous

Yeah bro, this shit is gone be crazy, trust. It's like opening Pandora's Box on several levels. Once genetic cloning gets to the point that some average mofos can do it, that's gone be some crazy shit too.
Think about what it's going to do to alot of these big time companies when people are able to make their own shit locally. I've already seen a few people get their hands on 3d printers and they gettin paid. But yeah fam, that gun cloning shit gonna be crazy, I was reading that too. |

I still do not understand 3d printing? Is it like making exact 3 dimensional copies of things and working parts and all?

Yeah @V
That's where it's at now. It can replicate all aspects of a weapon. |

Well, it's not the same as replicating matter and def not a person lol, that's why I mentioned genetic cloning seperately.
3d printers rely on scanning an object and then cutting it from supplied material. Like you could take a block of plastic and scan each part of a gun and make a working gun out of solid plastic. This has been around for years, it's just next level now. Remember those wrestling action figures in the late 90's? They called it "Real Scan" technology. They'd do a 360 degree scan of The Rock and then scale it down and make an accurate sculpt in plastic of him. They did this with wheels and car parts as well, they could create a wheel design and a laser would etch the design on a blank rim. |

dope. Good explanation. I understand now. So theoretically they could have a batch of "person soup" to draw from and clone using this tech? I want a pet velociraptor.

Can I make a better 3D printer with my 3d Printer?

well wouldn't you have to have all the materials and know how it was built? and if so, why not just build it?

There are a bunch of problems with making guns from a 3-d printer.
First they would be illegal because there is no seriel number. You can not replicate a handgun that is common for example, they are not advanced enough, look up the handguns they would never work for conceal carry. The weapon will expire and break down alot quicker than a regular weapon, there are reasons they are made with metal parts, for example the magazines they started making for AR's are only capable of lasting about 200 rounds - I believe, may not be an accurate number but I know it was pretty low. |

@V - I'm sure that a different process would be involved and while we are a long ways off, I wouldn't doubt if something similar can be achieved one day.
@Plot - Do you mean use your 3D printer to scan and copy a more advanced model? That is an interesting question. I wonder what type of limitations the printers run into? I like this topic. |

Yes but none of the info in any way negates the dangers that concern people, as a matter of fact it only adds to the fears. This would be the perfect way for criminals to creat untraceable, easy to dispose weapons. You don't have to worry about buying from a licensed dealer, background checks or registrations. You wouldn't have to worry about metal detectors and you could build a small army of terrorists easily. I'm not worried about gun enthusiasts or collectors. |

Whenever counterfeiting money got advanced in the past, the government had to step up their anti-counterfeiting processes. They are probably already on this tbh.
Hitler once had a counterfeiting plan that would've collapsed England making the British pound have no value basically. Imagine somebody being able to replicate a gun out of hard plastic or resin.... Shoot somebody with it and then drop it into a small fire and disappear Ito a crowd. |

you still need real bullets.
you can't make gunpowder, you can't make shell casings that don't explode and the guns themselves fail after a few shots. not the magazines, but the actual part of the gun that contains the explosion and fires out the pistol vice did a doc on it, and they were doing it with ar15's. im pretty sure they still needed the main part of the ar15. the part where the barrel and stock and clip etc all plug in, and even then they failed after a number of rounds its not realistic you are better off buying machining equipment and making your own real metal guns |

your plastic bank card means nothing
you need a magnetic strip with info that is unique to you you can't just make a magic strip that will work, it needs an account to draw on and etc |
