[QUOTE="conditionzero, post: 3940885, member: 47802"] Not sure if you will see this because it looks like you are banned? Injection molding is cost prohibitive, and not easily done correctly. How is making your own firearms a meme? Injection molded firearms are still reliant on metal parts, that is... just how it is. No that is not the point. The point is the ability to create as much as you can on your own. I wish I had all of the tooling for the metal parts as well, maybe some day! You cannot use FDM printed molds with an injection machine, they would just melt away. Now you can use high temp resin molds and there are DIY machines like the buster beagle that are cheaper. However, have you seen the interior of even a very simple AR-15 lower? Let alone the small voids of a polymer pistol? Injection molding complex parts gets crazy very quickly. Sorry but it just seems like you do not have much experience in the topic. [/QUOTE]
