[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 3139767, member: 3371"] It will be a few years before pure metal printing in garage is available. Meanwhile [SIZE=4][B]Metal 3D Printing Materials for the Home[/B][/SIZE] Even if you can’t 3D print metal objects at home, you can still resort to plastic filament with added metal powders. [URL='http://colorfabb.com/']ColorFabb[/URL], [URL='http://www.proto-pasta.com/']ProtoPasta[/URL] or [URL='http://treedfilaments.com/']TreeD Filaments[/URL] offer interesting composite metal-PLA filaments. These are filaments that contain a significant percentage of metal powders but provide enough plastic to be printed at low temperature (200 to 300 degree Celsius) with just about any 3D printer. At the same time, they contain enough metal to have the look, feel and weight of a metallic object. The iron-based filaments even form rust in certain conditions. In composition, metal 3D printer filament is typically 50 percent metal powder. Meanwhile, Dutch 3D printer filament company Formfutura claims they have ramped up the ratio to 85 percent metal powder and 15 percent PLA. These metal 3D printer filaments are called [URL='https://www.formfutura.com/shop/product/metalfil-ancient-bronze-252']MetalFil Ancient Bronze[/URL] and [URL='https://www.formfutura.com/shop/product/metalfil-classic-copper-253']MetalFil Classic Copper[/URL]. You can even print them at “moderate” temperatures of 190 to 200 degree Celsius. [URL]https://all3dp.com/1/3d-metal-3d-printer-metal-3d-printing/[/URL] Edit: If you 3d print a metal or metal infused firearm the whole "invisible gun that can't be detected" argument becomes moot doesn't it?
