I can 3d Print snap caps. I have an online store for selling cologne.

How many of you guise want caps for $0.25 each plus 5 burgers shipping for as many as you get? Cost might go up for boolets that take more plastic to print.

Would you be ok with buying caps through a crappy cologne store front?

print me a 3D "functioning" rifle or pistol instead.


and before someone spergs out by functioning i mean moving parts with no intent to fire
>>
>>29080392
You have my interest
Have you tested them in many handguns yet?
How do they feed through automatic handguns?
Is there much friction?
What calibers can you make?
>>
>>29080392
Peaked my interest

Also what kinda Cole awgna you sell

>>29080482
More Questions

Is the material hard or soft? If I load a mag to capacity, will the feed lips deform the round?

Colors?

Do you have a plan for when somebody eventually gets 40+ of them stuck in their asshole and tries to hold you accountable?
>>
>>29080392
Wouldn't the stick plastic be a bit rough on the striker? Plus plastic bullets won't be heavy enough in some guns to function right
>>
>plastic
>snap caps

Sounds nice until the first chambering when the extractor shatters the fucker and leaves a bunch of debris in the gun.

If you could find a way to have a brass rim with plastic printed around it it might be viable, but that already exists.

I don't think you understand what snapcaps are.

A snapcap is a dummy round used to practice with. It is an alternative to dry fire which can be bad for some guns.

OP proposes to make very inexpensive snapcaps; where production caps can cost $3 a piece:

I don't but they don't always properly function. Case in point my lever action double ejects snapcaps. I've narrowed it down to what I assume to be a weight issue. The semis would be fine but I would hope you're using a thick enough plastic width to prevent the mag from crushing the snapcaps. I also sorry that the plastic used in the 3d printer might not be soft enough to not damage the striker in semis

I do. Thanks phone

Real snap caps have a spring loaded primer. So you can use them as many times as you want and they still cushion the firing pin. A plastic one would work once, then the firing pin would make a dent in the primer, and after that you might as well throw it away.

Hard plastic.

Any color.

Tested on 9mm Taurus.

What printer are you using?
Whats the print resolution?
>>
>>29080615
Tested fine. It's solid plastic. I don't print them hollow

k.

>>29080513

Hard, wont deform unless you get the gun REALLY hot, I'll take full responsibility and come help them take them out.
>>
>>29080557
The plastic is malleable enough to allow the striker to hit without damage.

Setting up store now
>>
>>29080766
A home made one. Printing at .25 layers works fine, but I can go down to .06 if you need me to princess.
>>
Just fucking cast it, holy shit. 3D printing snap-caps is ridiculous. Perhaps you should tell us more about your arduino implementation of an AND gate.
>>
>>29080895
But OP wants to play with his toy.
>>
Sure I'd love some man.

Here you go fine customers. Let me know what other calibers you want and I will make them.

>>29080980

can confirm, am op.

baby blue, black, or clearish?

I can do any other color too, but you'd have to wait for the spool to come in the mail, so +5 days to ship.

Sorry one sec making sure its correct dimensions

Id buy some. 9mm. 45. 38. 357. 22lr. 12g. 40s&w. And prolly some more.
>>
>>29080392
>printing in that orientation
Have fun with the extractor ripping off the rim and having a chunk of plastic stuck in your gun
>>
neat
>>
>>29080895
>>29080980
This, unless you have an SLS/SLA printer I wouldn't trust the things. Plus the part about no spring in it meaning they'd be single-use
