its weird. I'm pro gun control, but I also really don't have too much of a problem with 3d printing being used for something like this.

One way or the other. America (and the world) has to...grow up and re-evaluate weapons and/or the people using those weapons.

In other words, One way or another, we are going to HAVE TO (in order for the species to survive) figure out a way to NOT kill each other.

whether it's some magic gun control law/enforcement or whether or it's a revolution in mental health care and/or conflict resolution or whether everything gets worse and there are thousands more mass shootings/killings and the survivors finally crack and say enough is enough.

One way or another. It will get better. Because 3d printers aren't going anywhere and they're going to get better and better. So either we figure it out, or the species ceases to be.

1. the scale on the individual files was way off.

I suspect this has something to do with the printer it was designed for. It seemed very close to being 1 inch = 1 mm. Not a completely uncommon problem. Manually resizing got some files to look right, but I found many simply wouldn’t resize.

2. Almost every single item had errors.

If you’ve done 3d printing, you’ve found that a model can have all kinds of issues that will stop it from printing correctly. I found every single item for the gun had errors. I actually learned a lot about how to repair non-manifold items from this exercise, so it was good in the end.

Some items, like the hammer and the hammer springs simply would not print. I ran them through systems to repair them and fix errors. It would say that everything was fixed, but when I tried to “slice” them for printing, the software would crash. This means that my gun is incomplete. It has no hammer. Not really that big of a deal to me.

I can't believe people are making such a big deal out of this. Anyone can create something to do harm to someone else WITHOUT a 3d printer or a firearms license or serial numbers.

Everyone needs to chill out.

Your video, AMAZING PRINTER PAPER DROP, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

This video shows incorrectly how light passes through the lens, which it disappointing considering the subject.

As far as age, Nikon, Pentax, and Leica are all older. Canon's first camera was the 'Kwanon,’ a rip off of a Leica design of the time. Their greatest early success was in mass producing units cheaply with the AE1.

Since making a name for themselves in manufacturing cameras, the electronics company makes at least as much money from printers and photocopiers as it does from cameras, if not more.

To be fair, the same MP (Minister of Customs, no less) was worrying aloud last week about 3D printers and people printing off "sheets of ecstasy tablets".

Still, good on him for this speech.

looks like a store we have in town called "Fred's" it's like a miniature Walmart/Kmart/Target all in 1 the size of a drug store. Groceries, Electronics, they even sell Android tablets here cheap noname android tablets that are sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow but still. All within 3 aisles of each other.

Fred's rocks when it's late night and you have the munchies, want some blank dvd+r's to burn, printer ink, tv dinners, and socks

Sensationalised BS here. The news about making guns is overly exaggerated right now, but won't be if the vision comes true that working, effective 3D printers are in every household with designs as easy to download as Napster did to fill mp3 players.

You can either print a non-working gun for a few hundred dollars, or laser-sculpt a working inferior gun for a few thousand dollars, or still buy a black market industry-standard gun for an amount in between.

American politics is pigeonholed into a linear spectrum, with points extending to the left and right of the Democrat and Republican goalposts. But it's really a wheel, and Cody & Glenn here don't overlap in between those, but at the other side with their Libertarianism.

I don't get your point. Why does there have to be a purpose?

It's a skill. You practice it and you master it. The reasons why are down to the individual.

People still work in wood using hand tools, when we have machine tools and 3d printers.

People still draw when we have cameras. Hell, people still use film in cameras.

To go further, what is the useful purpose of football? or baseball or any sport? People do things because they enjoy them.

So why spend time learning to cut with a katana?
There are lots of reasons. Some are respecting a tradition and culture they feel still has something to offer. Some apply the discipline and focus it requires to other aspects of their life.

And some people just think swords are cool.

Not really as you can just use filament spools for a 3D Printer.
